I was single for three years and went in over 80 dates, and over 60 men rejected me, some cruelly. I couldn’t get past the first date, and I only got to second date with three men and two of them were abusive and I left quickly when they became so after just a couple of weeks. I kept going and yes I am someone who has attempted suicide 5 times before the age of 22, lost my home, was abused growing up and went through three years of anorexia. Rejection from men and abuse and rape were all part of my story and I never gave up, nor did I ever lash out, insult the person rejecting me or stalk them like so many men did me. There’s worse things in life than rejection and I still never gave up on finding love because I knew other peoples rejection and abuse of me said nothing about me and everything about them. It got easier for me because I trained myself, went to extensive therapy and eventually found the love of my life. I only had two relationships and only three second dates in the span of six years of trying consistently. Rejection is what you make of it and if it takes it toll please get professional help, because you deserve to not let other people determine your worth. You determine it.
