You Asked: I Don't Understand Why He's Rejecting Me
Dear Sugar,
A friend of a friend asked me out about two months ago. We had known each other for a while, but we really hit it off at our mutual friend's birthday party. He pursued me and made me feel connected to him in a way I hadn't felt in a long time.
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Been Heartbroken?
If falling in love makes people deliriously happy, then getting your heart broken is emotionally shattering. And while there may be a lesson to be learned, truthfully I can’t really think of anything good about a broken heart. But alas, it is a part of life.
The How-To Lounge: Rejecting Someone
No matter which end you’re on, rejection is an unpleasant experience. Though in some ways rejecting someone might be easier than being rejected, it can still be difficult to negotiate, especially if you want to do it nicely. So if you’ve got to let someone down easy, I have some tips to share.
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Stood Someone Up?
I asked you yesterday what would be worse: to go on a nightmare blind date or be stood up and so far, 53 percent of you felt that being stood up was far worse.

But all the times I talk about the notion of standing someone up, I've asked you about being stood up, not standing someone up.
The How-To Lounge: Coping With Rejection
Rejection is an awful mix between being extremely offended and feeling like an utter failure with some shame and humiliation on the side.

Group Therapy: Is It Normal to Feel This Way?
Last year, I fell really hard for my best guy friend. He had feelings for me too but was also interested in another girl. I took a risk and told him how I felt, and he rejected me.
Group Therapy: Having trouble getting over it.
This really attractive guy pursued me for a good 2 months before I agreed to go on a date with him. As we began to date I knew I was having a really great time with him but was holding myself back because I was afraid to like him. After a month and half into dating, I finally accepted the fact that I did like this guy and began to let my gaurd down.
