So I'm a high school senior right now, and there was this girl who piqued my interest.
Actually, I was surprised at myself. I'm kind of an introverted guy who never bothers with girls. Don't get that confused with socially-stupid though; I go to parties, talk to people, and go out with friends all the time. I've been asked out a couple of times too - all of which I've turned down. It's just that I had other priorities (school and work comes to mind) than finding a girlfriend, and asking girls out was a bit... out of the question for me.
Being impatient and cocky however, I asked her out on the second day I met her for some reason.
In case you gentlemen didn't know, that usually doesn't work out on girls on the second day. Maybe the third, maybe the fourth, but definitely not the second. At least, it didn't in this case. So yeah, I was pretty shocked initially. To be honest, this was the first time I had ever asked ANY girl out. Being a gentlemen myself, I asked her out IN PERSON of course, so it was a pretty direct thing. A pretty big deal to me. So I took a nap a few minutes later...
But then I realized: that's it? That's what I've been scared of all of this time? I've never asked a girl out because of my fear of THIS? This tiny, insignificant feeling of self-doubt which could easily be shaken off with a nap? Are you serious?
So wow - I just started to talk to girls from that point on without a hint of hesitation, and with flirtatious intentions. I recently got a ton of phone numbers and feel great about myself.
To any one out there who might be scared to death of rejection, don't be; it's seriously not a big deal.
And to everybody else, is this normal? I mean, I expected agonizing pain, but all I got left was that feeling you get when you try riding a roller-coaster for the second time. Maybe it's denial or something, but I've never had denial work in my favor like this before, so I don't think that's it.
tl;dr: Got rejected. Boosted self-confidence. Now I get ladies. Is this awesome?
