The Art of Handling Rejection


I find it necessary to revisit the topic of accepting rejection. I realize that its a difficult thing to do with grace (having a higher rejection rate than most I speak from experience.) However, is it too much to ask that you be an adult about it.
About a month ago I met up with someone who wasn't my usual type. However, he piqued my interest. So I invited him over and while he was a great looking guy and charming, I realized that we didn't have any chemistry. I told him how I felt and he graciously accepted my feelings. If only this tale ended there you'd be doing something better with your time. However, a few days passed and I started receiving IM's from him. They were the I-know-what-you-said-but-I'm-gonna-needle-you-until-you-change-your-mind messages. I again stated more plainly that I wasn't interested then ignored them all together. I hoped his interest would fade away.
That brings me to this morning.Beep went my IM on my cell. And I shall now impart this conversation verbatim. Before I do I should mention what I do for a living. I drive people to medical/dental appointments. I say that so you understand the full scope of the what this bastard has going in his crazy head.

HIM: Goodmorning, hope that u are doing well. Take care- Jj
ME: No reply at this time
HIM: Can u get together 2day
ME: Sure just not with you
HIM: Wow! Where did that come from, I've been nothing but nice with u
ME: I told you i'm not interested but here you are again
HIM: I hope u get into a terrible car wreck-ur cursed.


Although I don't believe in curses isn't it just a bit over the top to wish harm on someone just because he/she is not interested in having sex with you. Maybe I'm wrong...you be the judge. Bottom line a simple "ok I understand." (even if you don't) is better than acting the fool over something so trivial.

Good grief... What a nut! I seriously hope he doesn't know what you drive. If he does, I'd say its time to pack some heat, or at least one of those extendable steel batons.

I CANNOT stand people who are mannerless oafs, but this is so far beyond that, it verges into the realm of psychotic. And really, really weird...

Cursed? Really? As in a fuckin voodoo doll? The evil eye? I dunno. That last little tidbit really puts a different spin on the conversation. I can at least understand fuckin mean... but voodoo?

Now, if you'll excuse me I've gotta go stick some pins in a doll that looks like my wife...
