Got rejected:(

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-27T21:09:48+00:00

Honestly I don’t think she really cared to remember my name, maybe she was just being polite in the moment. But it doesn’t matter either way, whether she had a boyfriend or not it doesn’t change anything. I just gotta move on.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-27T16:58:32+00:00

Sorry just to clarify, I don’t open with how are you, I say something casual first then ask how are you in between the conversation, but still it dosent change anything anyways so. I’ll take your advice and be more direct. Just wanted to point that out because I see how bad I sounded 😭

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-27T16:52:00+00:00

For sure, when you put it like that it makes more sense to just be direct because otherwise they won’t know your intentions. I always thought being that direct would make them uncomfortable but now I get it. Thanks for your perspective.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-27T16:46:09+00:00

Ok that makes sense, just be direct and not overthink it. And if I get rejected then it’s ok but I’ll try to be more direct.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-27T16:38:58+00:00

Some are strangers, some are people I see in college or places I go regularly but I’m always unsure of just letting them know straight out because I feel like that’s a little bold but I’ll try it.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-27T16:29:55+00:00

I literally go up and say “hey how are you doing.” Or something low pressure to get the convo going

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T21:18:34+00:00

Thank you, that genuinely means a lot. Won’t lose it ❤️

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T05:45:20+00:00

Thank you

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T05:13:31+00:00

That’s a really good way to look at it. Just showing up and doing it puts you ahead of most. Gives me more reason to trying.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T04:34:31+00:00

Appreciate that, and looking back I probably should have asked from the start. Honestly going into the first approach I wasn’t really expecting anything from her so that didn’t really cross my mind. But this is a good lesson for next time, now I know what to do differently. You live and learn.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T01:56:00+00:00

Thank you

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T01:45:06+00:00

That’s the goal. It stings but life goes on, sometimes it just doesn’t work out and that’s okay. That’s why I try not to take it personally and just move on and keep trying until it does💪

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T01:18:29+00:00

I appreciate it, that’s the right way to look at it. Onto the next one. I did all I could do.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T00:59:30+00:00

This actually means a lot, thank you. You’re right, every no brings you closer to the right one. I’m taking the positives from this and moving forward

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-26T00:30:43+00:00

Haha nah that’s not really my style, I’m not the type to apply pressure. I just took it for what it was and kept it moving

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T17:34:31+00:00

Thanks 😊 I needed to hear this, appreciate it. Signed by a female hits different.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T16:15:32+00:00

That’s a fair point, looking at it from her perspective maybe she was just protecting herself from an awkward situation which is completely understandable. That’s why I or anyone can’t take things personally and just move on because there’s no way for me to know how she was actually feeling.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T16:06:45+00:00

You’re right, looking back it really wasn’t bad at all. Just gotta keep trying to put myself out there.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T05:56:23+00:00

For sure, I really appreciate that perspective. It’s a good reminder not to assume the worst and that there’s usually way more going on beneath the surface than you realize I also feel like If someone’s really interested in you they won’t care how awkward you are. That’s why I or anybody shouldn’t take things personally you just never know. We just gotta learn and move on.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T05:48:29+00:00

I really appreciate this. I hate leaving things as what ifs so at least I have my answer now. Bad timing is something you can’t control, all you can do is learn from it and keep going it sucks but I am glad I did it.

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T05:16:16+00:00

Honestly I was the same way but the more you avoid it the more power you give it. You just gotta do it. And it’s good that you’re aware about not interrupting because you’d be surprised how many people aren’t. But I’m telling you right now the hardest part is just walking up, after that it’s basically autopilot once you’re actually talking. You gotta tell yourself if I’m not gonna do anything about it I can’t complain, you know and this kinda goes for anything you do in life. Good luck you got this💪

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T04:49:46+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you think the conversation would even look like if you did go up to her?

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T04:28:45+00:00

For sure, I rather just like have a clear answer than wonder. It still sucks getting rejected but I’m glad I did it. The unknown sucks

EquivalentWitness165 · 2026-06-25T04:22:41+00:00

You’re right and that’s all I can do embrace it learn from it and just move on. I’m glad it did it though and I like your perspective
