Relationships are hard. It feels socially risky to share your feelings with people, and while most of the time folks are willing to respect the effort, there are some rough moments to be had. Thing is, getting rudely rejected is a great way to find out that that person wasn't right for you anyway. So while it's painful, there's at least some way to spin the situation into "progress." Here are some extremely petty reasons people were rejected.

    Font - KingFenrir · 6m - edited 6m 2 3 3 E 5 Male During my early 20s, a friend invited me to a club and i went. I ask a girl to dance and she said "no thanks, but you can with my friend", the girl next her replied annoyed with "no, you should dance with him, he asked you!", and then they started to argue each other for feeling insulted, i left them both because i already got it. Basically both girls escalated the argument over me like i was some kind of punishent for the one who loses.

    Font - Missy_Agg-a-ravation - 6m 4 3 2 3 & 2 More Male When I was at high school, 14 years old, I decided to ask Louise, a girl from my class, out on a date. Unfortunately, I decided to do this at lunchtime, and right after I had finished a bag of Cheese and Onion flavoured crisps. I sat next to her and started to talk to her, but before I even got to ask the question, she caught wind of my breath and said - and these words are tattooed on my soul - "oh f.i off, you stink." It's been 32 years, a

    Font - [deleted] · 6m - edited 6m 4 F 3 I was getting ready to hit the bars with some buddies and shaved too much of my beard off. Naturally I decided to roll with a mustache for the night. Fast forward to the bars and I leave my group to grab another drink. As soon as I get my drink Jump Around comes on and I get super pumped up. I turn around with a big ole smile on my face and end up making eye contact with this girl. She raises her hands up and screams "I don't know what you want from me!" I

    Font - Wind_Yer_Neck_In · 6m The weirdest one I ever had was from a woman I'd been on 2 dates with, she was off on a ski trip and sent me a Dear John text saying (among other things) that she wasn't interested in something short term, I said fine, I wasn't thinking short term either but if she wasn't into it then no harm done. Well apparently this entire text chain had been curated by her and her friends on the trip as some sort of 'test' that I failed. I was supposed to 'fight' for our relation

    Font - Rion23 - 6m · edited 6m I asked my ex to sign my yearbook on the last day of school. She spent a while writing something, I thought it would be nice, she spent an entire page breaking up with me and walked away whal I was trying to read it. I didn't hear from her till school next year. Ugh.

    Font - inevitable_dave · 6m Asked if she wanted to go for a drink at the weekend, and she said yes. Within 12 hours she texted me "I've thought about it and I really don't want to date someone like you, it would be bad for my image." We were both 18 at 6th form, and I'm still genuinely intrigued as to what sort of effect on her image I would've had.
