Alright. A few weeks after Valentine's, I asked out someone I know. I did the emo thing, unfortunately, and dedicated myself to the idea a bit more than I should have. Blah blah blah, said no, blah blah blah.
Not the issue.
The question is how to really leave it all behind. So far I've been doing alright, and it's kept down to a certain degree. It helps me write a lot. But, I don't want to write about all this anymore and I just want to move on...
Just after finishing writing that a friend on MSN told me that I might have been afraid. I asked what I would be afraid of, and he said "Fear of failure? Fear of not knowing what to do, how to react?". Already failed, so that's not it, it might be the second one.
So, I spose, two questions. How I can leave it all behind and far more importantly, is there any reaction I could have to help? Anything I should do... I dunno.
Please take all this with a grain of salt. Haha. And for anyone that knows me, yes, I'm still up for seal clubbing this weekend.

You just put it in perspective: You liked someone, you asked them out, they said no. Thats it. Accept it. They said no. No shame in that. You haven't done anything wrong. You probably feel embarrassed? As if you should never have asked the first place, and you made a fool of yourself, and you never had a chance? Thats how I used to feel. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Back when we were 13 and 14, sure, people would pretend you had offended them, but they weren't offended. People aren't ever offended that someone thinks they are desireable, most people are even flattered. As for not having a chance, you might not have - but you'll never know till you try. So suck it up, chalk it up to experience, and go on your way. At least you tried. I never tried.

well, don't bother sulking, find something else to pay attention to. they didn't want to go out with you so you have no obligation to keep it in mind. take up WoW or something

Be who you are, say what you feel. Those who matter don't mind, those who mind won't matter.
Did you know the person well enough? Could you speak to her on a daily basis?
If you're not too close with the person, it's a bit unlikely they'd say yes. Well, unless you have drop dead looks.
Other than that, at least you didn't lose the love of your life. You're still young, it's just experience. Trust me, you'll laugh about it in a few years.

Have you ever wondered which is worse, saying something and wishing you hadn't, or saying nothing and wishing you had?
Not the issue.
