Have you ever been shot down by the opposite sex

[low-key]

How did you handle it ?

I have been several times, and I think Im good at it, I dont play wounded solder , but also make my exit and leave alone

 

[NYCgrrl]

Once was enough.
Now I shoot the sheriff and deputies.

I bet your a quick with the shot also

 

[Jennasis]

1. Of course.

2. Poorly...but to be fair, I was a teenager at the time and teens aren't known for their handling of things like that well.

Depends what you consider shot down. ALike actually pursued them/ask them out and been told NO. Then no, I haven't. But then again, I haven't really asked anyone out to do be told no.

Now I have wanted more out of a relationship and been told the person wasn't interested in more than a casual relationship. Twice in fact. My last two relationships have been more casual than I would have liked.

How did I handle it? No very well. A lot of tears. A lot of music "therapy." A lot of drinking.

Who hasn’t?
I’ve had soda poured over my head, shook it off, walked back to my table, finished my sandwich, winked at her on the walk out. To this day I still keep a spare shirt in my truck because of that

I haven't ever asked anyone out either. I think there are a lot of women our age that just didn't really do that.

 

[Aurora79]

Yep. I had a guy in grad school tell me that I was “too normal“ for him. I told DH that story and he said, “He must not have known you very well.”

what did you do to let them know, to ask ?

My baby shot me down..... I wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it go.

 

[AustinTink]

Shot down? No.

But, I was never the one doing the asking.

 

[disneychrista]

what did you do to let them know, to ask ?

Laugh at their DUMB jokes.

 

[low-key]

Laugh at their DUMB jokes.

you know I thought of that when I asked her, was thinking if a women laughs at my jokes, she must want me

 

[ronandannette]

what did you do to let them know, to ask ?

Nothing specifically. I can't ever remember it being an issue.

 

[C&Jx2]

Ugh yes. There was this guy my roommate knew. We hung out often, we flirted a lot. I finally got enough liquid courage to make a move and he was like, “whoa... You’re super cute and a great girl but I’m not interested.”
So embarrassing... I was definitely more embarrassed than hurt.

I stopped hanging out with them

 

[RUDisney]

what did you do to let them know, to ask ?

I turn up the flirt.

In HS, I pretended to not understand my math class so a guy would tutor me. He said in the middle of helping me that he couldn't understand why I needed his help since I was in AP math and he was in regular math. lol He was cute, though.

I've had guys not respond to my flirting, but I've never been turned down. Ladies of my age didn't ask boys out.

 

[Moliphino]

Shot down? No.

Same. I have been disappointed by a "let's just be friends" after a couple dates - stayed cordial through the interaction, then went out with friends to drown my sorrows that night. We didn't talk for a while, but did actually become friends again that summer when we were both in the same study abroad program.

Sounds like a girl with a Coke problem.

 

[chiefmickeymouse]

I think men get shot down a lot more often than women, especially in my age range (I'm 51) just because they usually do the asking. I think if I had to ask I'd be single forever, I'd never get the nerve up.
