I used to work at a computer store in sales. When we sold a computer we always sat down with the person and gave them a short tutorial on thier machine. I sold one to a nice girl who had come in 3 or 4 times before settling on her choice. I had thought there was a shot a more there and decided to ask her out.
I don’t even remember my exact words, I didn’t think I would have to remember, but it was something like “would you like to go get something to eat after this?” (around lunch time)
She responded back with “I don’t think so” in a REALLY rough tone. Now, this alone wasn’t enough to set her apart, even though I felt the attitude was uncalled for under the circumstances.
So, I reply back to her with, “A simple ‘No thank you’ would have been enough.” As I finished packing up her machine.
She looked at me dead in the face and said “Oh come on, you must be used to rejection.”
One time, A girl I wanted to date bypassed the “Best Friend” line, she bypassed the “Like a Brother” line, and went straight for the kill with, “You’re like a father figure to me.”
Knowing what I do now, I should have responded with something like, “Oh yeah? Tell me, who’s your daddy!”
ME: “I was thinking maybe we could go out to sometime or something”
HER: “Why would you think that?”
I only wish I had had a funny comeback line like Mr. Cynical. That is nearly as funny as the classic “HOW MUCH FOR A BLOWJOB?” after being rejected in a bar.
I asked a girl for her phone number once & turns out later it was the number for the local time. Clever girl. I went back & gave her a chuckle of cleverness.
Mine was in high school, I was intrested inthis guy Eric. I asked him out over the phone, and he replied : “Well, I wasn’t really intrested in you, but in your friend Mandi.” (my best friend!!!)
Well I don’t know if this counts, 'cuz I was actually ON a date with the person in question when it happened. But anyway, we had had dinner, then went to a bar to have a drink – it’s a bar in Manhattan called “g”, a place I actually hate and try to avoid, but my date dragged me there. We are sitting there talking, and there was really no chemistry happening so I didn’t expect much to occur. But, my date was actually in the middle of a sentence when he suddenly froze, transfixed by someone acrosss the room. Without a word he got up and walked over to say hello. I was a little too stunned to react at first, and by the time I got up, my date was coming back to me. “Wow that guy is hot!” my date said, “i’d do him in a second.” After staring at him for another few seconds, he suddenly tells me he forgot my name and asks what it is. I told him. Then, he abruptly got up and said “i’m sorry, I just have to talk to this guy, give me a call sometime, see ya!” and was suddenly gone.
Needless to say i was too floored to even react, and thus lost my chance to throw my drink in his face, slap him and call him an asshole. The bar was much too crowded for me to follow after him as well.
Let’s see anyone top that for complete and utter rejection.
I’ve mentioned this in another thread, but it’s worth repeating here. And it’s not really rejection so much as dismissal.
I gave a woman I worked with flowers on Valentine’s Day and invited her to a play that was opening in a few days. She said yes, so I made the reservations. Then she asked if I could get a third ticket so she could bring a date.
The first time I asked out a girl, I got rejected (6th grade). I called her up and asked her if she wanted to hang out some time. She said she had too many extracurriculars to hang out.
Flash forward to my 10-year high school reunion. I told the same girl that she was the first girl that I ever asked out and that I was heartbroken when she rejected me. She took down my e-mail address and has been e-mailing me since. Looks like I might just get that date after all…
Here’s another. A college girl really put me in my place.
Me (drunk): Would you maybe like to go out some night?
She: I don’t think so.
Me: (still drunk): Okay, how 'bout sex then?
She: Oh, please. I’d fall asleep and you’d fall in love.
Me: Er…Ummm… (Brain cells working overtime to come up with a snappy comeback)… Oh, fuck it. See ya.
