Ladies and Gentlemen, how do you handle Rejections personally?

[Naiwen]

As a gent and a lady, there must be some big differences on how you deal with romantic rejections. I'm usually personally always the rejector, never the one who's being rejected. And I've seen that people (men and women, all cultural and religious backgrounds, from all sexual and romantic orientations, all gender identities and from all walks of life confounded), tend to not take romantic rejections well. One man on LinkedIn, has been asking me out and after saying a big fat no, he's said to me "personally, I'm also very rich" and "I can have any woman I want". Basically, they will try to put you down with either your looks or skills or personality. However, I'm never moved or touched even slightly by it, if anything, it's annoying to me personally at least anyways. I don't care that you're very rich or handsome, because I'm aro-ace.

Handling rejection is something that is not always easy to do especially if you are really into someone but it is something you do have to accept so that it doesn't cause issues for either party. I personally have been rejected by others and I have also rejected others as well. I myself have always taken it and just moved on and so have the people who I have rejected in the past.

Rejection is a normal thing because I can't date everybody. I haven't experienced rejection because guys are the ones looking for me not the other way round. I will still move on if I ever tell someone how I feel and he decided to turn the offer down.

I handle rejections in life regularly, so I have built a thick skin to it. In work, in relationships and other aspects of life I have learnt to handle rejections.

I don't have any problem with moving on. I can't kill myself over someone who no longer wants me. There are other people who will want me, I will give them the opportunity to get into my life.
