“Rejection” is one of the main reasons why many people are afraid to get back on the dating scene again. When you experience being rejected by someone you like, it somehow gives you the idea that you are not enough and you do not deserve to be loved and cherished.
However, the negative self-impressions you encountered after rejection should not stop you from believing in the magic of love. This article will give you the top 5 things in order to thrive in the modern dating game after being rejected by your former date:
1. Take note: Most of the time, it’s not about you.
Being rejected does not always mean that you are the problem. There are times when those who reject others are the ones who have their own reasons. Maybe you intimidated them unintentionally and they felt inferior to you. Perhaps, they have lots of emotional baggage and they realized that dating would not help them or maybe they feel that you are too much for them and that you are out of their league.
It’s inevitable to avoid these scenarios, but you should not lose hope. One day, you will find someone who neither be intimidated nor scared of your status in life.
2. Avoid rebound dating
Making someone a “rebound” just to forget the painful rejection from your last date is a big no! Always remember to heal first before you get back to dating. You should learn from any of the mistakes you’ve made and focus on improving yourself to become a better person.
Using someone to conceal your hurt ego will not help you. Just go back to the dating scene once you’re ready.
3. Think Positive
It’s easy to get caught up in an awful feeling when you suffer from rejection, but staying in the negative state can feel like living with the same experience over and over again.
To heal properly, think of positive ways to make you feel good. Surround yourself with people who are good for you and focus on your happiness and growth.
4. Be honest
Be honest about how you really feel. It’s okay to feel bad after rejection, but don’t use that pain to get revenge or to despise the one who rejected you. You should know how to handle your emotions. You can talk to this person about your sadness, but don’t use it to beg for that someone to stay.
5. Work on your weaknesses
Improving your weaknesses is the best way to deal with rejection. It can be considered a sweet revenge because instead of being miserable, you are learning how to focus on your strengths and work on your flaws.
Invest in self-care. Work on your goals. Be confident. Be patient. Be understanding. Improve your career. Work smarter. Achieve the best version of yourself. These are the important things you have to consider when you want to work on your weaknesses and attract someone once you go back to the modern dating space.
