How Did You Handle That "NO"
« on: November 09, 2008, 11:32 PM »

I could remember the first time i tried to woo a girl the answer i got from her was NO am not intersted and this made me not to ask again from any other.because i felt very bad that day.
I know most  of us might have had similar experence,so i want you to come up here and tell us how you felt when HE or SHE said 'NO'to your request for friendship.
just come up and lets hear your won side .

NB:contribtion from both male and female.

Body language . . . guys.

If a girl will say no, it shld be apparent to you even before you ask. The only time i heard "no", it took me only 20 mins to get her to change her mind because i knew she wanted to say yes but needed her concerns addressed first.

If you do your homework very well, you should reduce the number of times you hear the dreaded "no".

I've never had to handle a "no" before but i know close friends who have. Most guys dont spend the time to be good friends with the girl they are asking out in the first instance - if you took the time to know her and you both are mature enough to handle it, some girls will give you a good idea why they are saying no. Perhaps she has someone else, or she's not interested in dating at the moment, or she doesnt think you both are a good fit.

It is important to know why she said no so you dont make the same mistake with someone else.

Before you even ask a girl out - ask yourself if you can sense she has some attraction to you.

NO could be devastating and heartbreaking. The best way to get over it is to keep persuading the girl, who knows she might change her mind. To be on a safer side, forget about her NO, get involve in lucrative business and start building your passion for someone that would say YES. Though have never heard the word NO from any girl. . . . .Its always YES, always.

It's very easy . . . hit on the next chic you meet
Life's too short to start wasting time on one chic

Besides you can't get 'yes' all the time
The one time I've been rejected, she said no cause she thinks 'I flirt too much'
I was like . . . cool then, next week I was with her friend Cheesy Cheesy
I can't change moi if I don't want to

My no is a no.  E don finish

Haven't had a no, but i'd prolly just go on my way.
The body language thing works, if you know what you are looking for.
Some Naija men can be clueless about that Grin
Even if you shout no for their ear, dem no dey understand,
na something as subtle as body language dem suppose 'get'? rofl

When she say NO  . . . .you got 2 options . .
1. Walk away  . . . .or
2. Persist . . .( as in withdraw . . .review approach errors . . . ,  re-strategize . . .launch another strike attack)

I hope I dont regret saying this but I do respect some of you guys who just pick yourselves up after being rejected.

I will admit I have given some pretty mean no's in the past only because it was the only way to get the guy to back off. 

Example some guy says hi
I reply hi back
Next question can I have your number?
I say no I keep walking
He follows and says but I just love you so much
I get mad and say get lost

But now sometimes if a guy says hi and hes looking at me in that way I just pretend I cant hear it.

Bitch I know but saves the drama.

I tell him ;"If you don't like me, then fine! . . . . . .i don't like you either" . . . Undecided Undecided Undecided

Then probably throw a fit and curse the motherfuckers ass  out

once its out i move on easily.






Or how else am i supposed to handle it? Huh Huh Huh Rejection is hard to accept   Embarrassed Embarrassed Embarrassed
