To be young and step out and take that chance of asking someone out. With all the fear of waiting for the no, but knowing all along you can’t get a yes, unless you ask. Teens and the dating game and even adults take chances of rejection all the time. The rewards can be great but the loss can be almost as great. I remember being a teen.
Does she like me? I like her. Does she like me like me or just like me. Ya all remember those kind of lines? When I was younger it was go on a date and then go steady. I am not really sure if it is so much that way now. Anyway, to step out and ask, to bare ones self to another and then………..REJECTION! I am no good. I always get a no. The boys never like me. The girls never like me. Well they do, they “Just want to be friends”. Ouch! That is always the worst.
Here is another one. To like someone, everyone knows you like the other person but the person you like has no clue about it. Then you step out and show them you like them and get slapped in the face with rejection. Tears come down, what do you do? You still have to face this person, who seems to have no issues with telling you no, and giving you absolutely no reason. You have to see them around the neighborhood and at school. All the time putting on that mask of “I am not hurt by you”, yet inside you are torn apart. There is just no easy way of dealing with this.
Your parents try to console you. You appreciate it, but the hurt is there and you know it will come back when you see the other person the next day. Time is the key and you know it. You scream out to yourself and God, “Take this hurt away!” You say to yourself;
I know deep down I am a good person. I have friends but when I want a relationship to be more, I always get rejected. What is wrong with me. Nothing I am a good person but seriously, what is wrong with me that no one wants to go out on a date with me?!! God, why, why why???
I have seen it and been part of it. Have you? What do you do to get over the hurt? Maybe eat, maybe cry, scream or throw things. What has hit you and you want to share?
