How do you prepare for rejection?
2
I guess I'm struggling to find the line between healthy communication and a clingy girlfriend. We've been dating for seven months. We see each other a handful of times each week. However, on days we don't see each other, she will call two to three times a day, and text or DM throughout the day. This has been my longest relationship, so maybe this is normal?
How long do you think you'd need to be with someone before you'd be willing to move across the country for them? I ask because I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and were talking about marriage, but I was just offered an amazing job opportunity in New York. My boyfriend isn't sure about quitting his job, which pays about half what I earn. I know I don't want a long distance relationship, so if he doesn't get on board with the move, we'll have to break up.
You don’t, confidence is key. Like a boxer, you get back up and into the ring. You’re the best there is, expect to succeed
Expect nothing
Every relationship ends in rejection unless it's the one. It's no big deal
Are you saying rejection from a dating pool? Or Rejection while in a relationship already?
Gotcha. Well, if you’re already interested I’d say that you only need to be careful and go slow. Don’t let feelings be bigger than they need to be at this stage. Not sure if you have this person as a friend, if you never approached at all or what but in general, I’d say be direct. Not creepy lol but honest. “Hey, I’ve been noticing you for some time and I’d love to know you better” and see what comes back. If the person says, no thank you, than that’s great! You know you cannot invest in your current interest and move on. Don’t take personally, it’s not about you. See as literally a trial and error process.
You work on yourself till you become the 10/10 that has never ending options. Makes rejection a little easier.
You’ll still get rejected. But the difference is you won’t care as much when you have options.
