Im positive I've probably written about this before, but considering that the industry hates it, refuses to cover, because every time I write it in a piece they edit it out, I'm going to continue to write it.
You can tell a lot about a person based on how they reject unwanted advances. We live in a world where the relationships between men and women are encouraged to be hostile and adversarial. I blame parents not teaching us how to date, both genders not knowing how to take rejection, and the way dating is portrayed in the movies, shows, stories and music we consume. We've been taught not to trust and to find a problem with everyone that approaches us. We live in a world where women are taught to lie, insult the intelligence of, play games or attempt to embarrass men they don't wish to accept.And men are taught to act as if they didn't really want you anyway, act as if they are doing you a favor by talking to you, pretend as if they have a myriad of other options, or embarrass the woman by telling her all that she is not (e.g. "You not all that anyway"). Bottom line stay classy, and act like an adult. How you give and take rejection speaks volumes about you.
