HA! HA!

Don't worry about it, it's just a numbers game (unless you really do suck). Say only 10% of the girls go out with you. So if you ask out 10 of them, you're bound to get a date. Or maybe you set your sights too high.

Oh yeah, and what's with this text messaging crap? Dude, you look the girl in the eye when you ask her out. It's called chemistry. Is her face flushed? Is she playing with her hair? Does she touch you when you talk to her? etc. Dump the PDA, dude.

Look at it this way. You gave it a shot. You went out there and did it, instead of sitting at home and just thinking about asking her. Everyone gets rejected, you just gotta keep trying.

Hahahahaha. Oh man everything is so funny to me tonight.
 
:beer: for you.

don't worry about it, buddy. you had the balls to ask her out. just don't act all weird about it around her.
 
now all you gotta do is tell everyone you know that she's a pretentious bitch to explain the fact that she rejected you and all will be right... 😉


Just kidding, no worries, there are plenty more fish in the sea 🙂

that's the thing...i hope i'll be over it by tommorrow....try avoiding somebody in 6 out of your 8 classes
 
What about being persistent? How well does that work? Or would that just annoy her and put a bad taste in her mouth when she thinks of you? I don't mean hammering her with the question once every day, but whenever an opportunity arises?

If all else fails, take it out for some fresh air in front of her, lol 😛

i mean, try to act as if it wasn't too big a deal. say hi and smile when you see her. try to have the normal conversations that you had before.

if you start off avoiding eye contact and feeling mortified around her, it'll be very hard to be comfortable around her again.

think of it like in years to come, it could be a funny story between you guys, if you remain friends.

it's not like she rejected your marriage proposal.

:beer: here, have another 😀
 
damn, I didn't realize you guys are only 15. Maybe she didn't know what that feeding pretzel move signals at that age.

Sorry about my advice.

anyways, just forget about her and mack on other girls.

You won't remember anybody that you had a crush on at 15 anyways.

Also, girls that age easy to please.

sorry to hear it didn't work out. hope the next one works out better.

Next time say lol a bit less in the convo and ask your next girl out in person.

If she doesn't reply back, don't ask her again to confirm, just act like you never asked her.

i did ask her out in person
 
lol, i didn't realize you were 15. guess i should read the whole 3 page thread next time, eh?

i retract all the :beer:'s i offered you.

SERIOUSLY, don't worry about it. you probably hate to hear this, but you're so young that you'll laugh about it later. having the courage to ask girls out in HS is a GOOD thing. don't worry about being rejected. just think of it as practice for when you get to college 😀
 
see, guys always think that we have to look out for abstract signals from girls to know if they like us when in fact its pretty easy.

If a girl is in to you, she'll let you know.

she'll flip her hair a lot, touch you coyly, laugh at your jokes even though they aren't that funny, try to build on what you are talking about in a conversation.


If she doesn't do this, she's not in to you.

example: if you tell a joke and she laughs hard and then lightly slaps your knee, you are in. That laugh is an excuse for her to touch your knee.

counterexample : if you say something like " that new ocean's 12 movie looks pretty good"

and she answers with " I'm not really in to sequels" , she is not in to you.

a girl who is in to you will reply with something more along the lines of " yeah I liked the first one and wanted to go see the second one but I don't like going to the movies alone"

good advice
 
Ok...so find a new one and ask her out. Figure...1 out of every 100 girls you ask out, is going to say yes. Get started on the century mark.
