It really depends on how she rejects you. If she says she has a boyfriend, make some lame comment about her boyfriend's a lucky guy and move on. If she is vague about it, be vague back and move on. If she's rude about it, I usually just give a big fake smile and say, "okay, see you next Tuesday" and move on.

Not that any of this advice is relevant. As others have said, it's not how you immediately handle the rejection, it's how you approach the next girl that matters. Women can smell a lack of self-confidence from a mile away.

some of the girls I was friends with thought it was cute/funny when the guy said "so then a weekend in atlantic city is out of the question?" or something like that. Personally, I never gave it a try.

I read the title of this thread as "How do you handle an erection?"

Its true title is infinitely less interesting.

The perfect rejection kit includes sad songs + liquor + illicit drugs + getting wasted with friends.

It's that rejection, fear of rejection, and how you respond to it is what makes alot of things the way they are in this world when you really boil it down.

We've all got that childhood fear and bit of trauma.

It's your decision now to either say youre captive to it,cop out and be negative
Or to move forward and dont pass that rejection on. Embrace, be first, dont wait till you get it. To know that you are strong, and others are weaker than you,
That is why you will embrace first. That is when rejection will not be an issue anymore. That it is not about winning or losing, but it is about your capacity as to what you make of it. About your heart.

Yeah i know the above may be whatevers to some reading it. But trust me, that line of thought helps me out alot in my life.

That's exactly it. Its a numbers game for me when I go out.

I figure you have to strike out before you hit a home run.
