I can handle the rejection. That's just part of life, and I've experienced it before. What really sucks for me is that now I have to see her at work everyday.

Laugh at me CE. Tbh, I deserve this.

Shrug it off. She wasn't going out with you yesterday, she won't be tomorrow either. Nothing changed.

Was there any reason to assume she would say yes? Do you guys have a good rapport or were you just randomly asking?

Honestly if you just make yourself as scarce as possible, there's no reason the two of you can't go back to normal soon. I've been through this several times. Things can be cool as hell between the two of you if you just act chill.

These. It's honestly not that big of a deal and really shouldn't be that awkward unless you make it awkward. People are definitely overreacting.

Theres also the 2nd phase where when a person goes out with you, doesnt automatically become your girlfriend. So getting struck down earlier rather than later is probably for the best.

No trust me you would feel regret never asking also. Just try to be your regular self and the awkwardness won't persist.

I missed this post but yes. She gave me the same signals as girls who HAVE said yes in my life. At least I thought so.

I either misread her or she changed her mind. Doesn't much matter anymore.
