How to deal with rejection

[Ginandbitterlemon]

Hi,
Sooo I’ve tried online dating. Met. A guy, we had an ok first date. I thought I’d ask him if he fancied doing something again, just casually...and got rejected.

Has this happened to anyone before, please make me feel better if so! I’m cringing at asking him and even more so at the fact he said no. I understand I need a thick skin and I probably won’t even be bothered by it in a couple of days but other people’s humiliating stories would really make me feel better right now! Xx

I've had some shocking online dating disasters. I've been ghosted a few times which is horrible when you think a date has gone well. But I am now engaged so hang on in there, the one will be out there somewhere

Try not to be too hurt by it, at least he was honest with you and didn’t lead you on.

Must admit, I've never been the first to ask for a second date, if they don't express that they've had a nice time and would like to do it again at the end of the first date, I'd assume nothing will come of it. You get a vibe usually.
