WTF?!?!


+1

+2. I don't think there'll be a worse line than that. Sorry, Abaisse. :(

My second one was bad because it was an outright lie intended to protect my feelings, except when it was revealed to be a lie within a week's time, it hurt twice as much. Because it went from "It's okay, she just doesn't want a boyfriend right now" to "Oh. So it was just me that she didn't want." It would've been a whole lot less hurtful to just say "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you like that."


Oh, I see what you mean...

I actually had that happen to me several month's ago.

I finally worked up the courage to ask a woman who worked for one of my clients out to lunch. She says "no thanks, I brought a lunch".

10 minutes later another guy asks her the same thing and she accepts and leaves with him - right in front of me!

Harsh... :?

Yeah, sparing one's feelings only works if you don't immediately reveal that it was a lie. Then it just seems worse.

It was a huge "WTF" situation at the time. But... there was a lot of a cheating at the end and a weight was lifted after being freed of it. Things are good now.

Im sorry to hear about what happened to you abaisse.


Here are my worst rejection lines:

I had been doing some sort of wooing for a rather long period of time and whenever I asked her out she brought up some lame excuse.

Time passed and one day she came and she asked if I had ever loved her, I asked her what did she think and she told me that if I had asked her out properly she would have gone out with me(This happened a couple of hours before I was introduced to her bf).


I asked her out multiple times and she kept rejecting me why say I never asked her out properly as a rejection line, it makes no sense.

Yeah, I don't get that, spongy. What was "properly" supposed to mean? If you asked her out, that's asking her out. I wonder why she even brought it up when she had a boyfriend. That must have been very confusing. I'm confused just reading about it.

"I do appreciate beauty in a woman but your nose makes that impossible for you to achieve."

Ouch! I did not run out and get a nose job after Mr. Impossible-To-Please-Art-Loving-Intellectual-Crush-Of-The-Moment said that to me. But I did waste a lot of time staring at it in the mirror.

Maybe he said something like "Hey, you wanna hang out on Saturday" or something like that, and she was expecting some type of formal invitation to date him?

I dunno, I have a hard enough time trying to understand the women in my life, let alone other people's. Her asking if he was in love with her, though, she was probably hoping for a "no" so that he wouldn't feel bad when she introduced the boyfriend. As to her telling him she would've gone out with him, well. I think that's more of a "Well, it's not my fault. You only have yourself to blame" type of response.

She brought him up because there was some sort of event coming up at our school and she was planning on inviting him. She had a very small circle of friends(a few female friends and me mostly) and she wanted to introduce us to him.

As for asking her out properly I was a bit of a clown by that time so perhaps she confused the wooing with an ongoing joke(high unlikely but possible).

I doubt I will never be able to understand why she brought up the whole ever loved her and this rejection left me confused for several years

A big nose doesn't make a woman unattractive. Look at Jennifer Gray. When she got a nose job, she disappeared. It was her distinctive nose that aroused so much interest and made her unique and beautiful.

My nose is very semitic. It took a lot of years to accept it. Love you, for you. To hell with someone so shallow.

"Sorry, not interest.....maybe it's just because I'm used to dating younger girls"

He could have left it at the "not interested part". He was my age. Or "I'm actually a shallow jerk," would have sufficed.
