rejection
 

Just got rejected by the girl whom I wanted to take to my formal & have somewhat of a crush on. :(:( :(

Oh sweetie- I'm so sorry to hear that.

Do you have a friend you can ask? Sometimes the best date has been right under your nose the whole time.

Bottom line... she missed out!!

I'm sorry to hear that hun. I can relate though. We were having our winter formal and I have this big crush on a guy in Pi Kappa Alpha, so I asked him if he wanted to go, he said yes. I was soo psyched and ready to go have some fun! But then like 3 days before formal he writes me an e mail, doesn't call, doesn't say it to my face...E MAIL! that he couldn't get off work! UGH! =( I was sad. So now, I have a few more crushes, so they better be prepared for our crush party coming up soon =) Feel better though, rejection hurts i know!

It is better to get an honest answer of rejection then to be strung along. Count your blessings.

Cory - is this girl crazy? Seriously, i have no idea what she's thinking, youre such a sweetheart not to mention so damn cute ;)
It really is her loss, i'm sure you would have been such a fun date - there has to be a few more crushes out there - don't let this rejection get you down, go out there and ask someone else!

Sometimes there's just no accounting for taste! Find a "humdinger" (gee, I never thoght how that sounded) and have a blast!

My daughter is already singing the blues because she has NO ONE she wants to ask to her formal. Poor thing compares eveyone to this New Yorker she shared a summer romance with. Anytime she says she thinks some guy is cute, they have a girlfriend. Her guy friends have girlfriends and she doesn't want to go with someone she doesn't really know. Saaaay, what are YOU doing this April! J/J

Find someone who will get wild and crazy and have a GREAT time!
I would imagine there are plenty of young women who would give their heart to you if they had the chance.

Aww, Cory, I agree with all the posters who have given you such wise advice. She really doesn't know who she's missing out on! You are such an adorable sweetie...and well, if she can't see that, she doesn't deserve you anyhow.

I know this all sounds like such a cliche, but it really IS true, Cory. I hope you feel better soon, sweetie...and don't stop being the charmer you are! :)

I'll echo what everyone else says--she's probably certifiably nuts.

But hey, just because you ARE dating someone doesn't mean there are any guarantees...my boyfriend stood me up for my last formal (well, he kinda had to, but...) and didn't call and tell me he couldn't come until thirty minutes AFTER he was supposed to pick me up! :( My roommate was sweet enough to go with me, but the night was still crappy, especially after one of my sisters spilled hooch all down the front of my beautiful dress...*sniff sniff*

That is Horrible!!! The girl must have no taste at all to turn you down:( But I am sure that there is another girl out there that is much smarter and more fun to take to a formal:)
I have to ask some one to my formal on March 22, and I am not so much looking forward to it....

Re: rejection
 

oh hon :( if it makes you feel better im sure there are a zillion of us that would have said yes!!!

Cory, I just PMed you.

Sweetheart, listen to me... you didn't get rejected. She has just had a lapse in judgement or is too intimidated by your gorgeous, witty, and intelligent self. And look at it in the big picture. For every girl that "rejects"you, there are at least 50 more that are dying to get the chance to even get close to you! So keep your head up and maybe you will end up with a date that is five times better.

Hey girls,
Thanks for your comforting words of pick-me-up, it helps. Too bad you all live so damn far away! For of the 50 of you that would have said yes, I would have surely found 75 to ask. I do appreciate it nevertheless, and I'm sure some friend might enjoy my company. There are others I know I can ask, I'd just prefer the one that said 'no.'

Cory

Now, you wouldn't *really* prefer the one who said no -- think about it. This is a woman who did not want to go out with a cute, smart, funny guy who actually *reads* books and I'm sure knows how to carry on an interesting conversation. I don't think that you would really prefer to be with someone like that -- you might think so right now because you're feeling bad, but it will pass. Once a little time has passed, you won't even think about it. :)

Ah, I know the feeling. Wanna join my broken hearts club? The best thing I can tell you is that it will make for some good writing, because I think I remember you being a writer.

Poor thing! I coudn't say no to a Sigma Chi.

Don't worry she's missing out.

Hell Cory, I wpould not want to go to the dance with you!:) Would really not look good!:D

Sorry Bro but there are other Fish in the ocean and many of the best are on GC!:cool:

Heart Break is TUFF!

Wake up in the Morning and take A Pee and you will feel better!!!!!:cool:

Keep your head up, sweetie! Great guys like you aren't easy to find so don't let one misguided girl make you feel bad.

I'd take you to my hayride anytime! ;)

If I could lend you my looks I would. sorry bro

Well it kind of sucks being rejected by some random female that you were crushing on. Although some of these response by the well meaning ladies probably made you feel worse lol . .. I have only a guys advice for you. Take someone better looking than her to the formal and have a great time. Girls hate that sort of thing. The only thing a girl hates worse than a guy they aren't that interested in liking them, is the thought that the guy doesn't like them anymore and is with someone better looking.

Cheers.

Ah, James, so true, so true.

Does the converse work on guys?

Well...

I've given up.

Guess I'll just sit this formal out.

Cory

Ok, kid...listen. Do something now or regret it later. Go to your formal. Don't let a girl get you down. That's awful. You are beautiful, intelligent and rather entertaining;) . So walk up to the next attractive girl on campus and ask her! Besides, would you really want a girl to babysit all night? Go to make memories with your brothers and to laugh at chapter next week about the shananigans that went on. Those are the things that you will remember.

And on a semi-related note, I actually did go to cheap tickets.com today and check for a flight from here to KY. The cheapest was 198 dollars. I was planning on flying out for your formal and heading to the OAR concert with you on the 27th. ;)Alas, 198 is a dollar amount that I lack severely. But now you know that I tried and what a completely rad kid you are. But hey, you never know... if I can find a cheap train ticket....

pbpck

Rejection is in the air
 

so i called the ex to see if he wanted to go to the formal left a breezy voice mail... he calls me back and is all wishy washy so i was like look if you don't want to go don't and hung up

GOD I HATE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

i'm going to have to agree with pbpck on this one - cory you should not give up and you should in no way sit this one out. formal is about celebrating your brotherhood and having good times with some of your best friends - ask one of your good girl friends if to do nothing less than have a good time with her and your brothers. or be bold and do ask that cute girl in class that you've noticed - hell i've set sisters up on blind dates with my guy friends - have one of your brothers girlfriends(but only one with good judgement ;)) set you up with a cool sister or friend. either way, i don't think you should miss out on formal.

on that note - i can be in kentucky in like 10 hours or so - kidding :cool:

pbpck

I Love You. Be my valentine....hehehe ;)

Deltabetababy . . yes it does to a degree. although guys a re a bit more outwardly arrogant about stuff. .. I have seen guys with the sex appeal of an ugly bald marsupial flex into the mirror and say "I'm getting some today!" And I was like with what??? An ugly dead bitch would slap you and tell you to be about your business.

But at least one of his friends would turn around and go . . well the dude she's with is bigger/better looking that you man . . looks like you messed up. Guys are blessedly honest.

Cory, don't be a bitch man, get a date, hire an escort (or better yet pay Pbck's ticket) or go stag . .. how pathetic will you sound to the girl you are crushing on if she thinks you couldn't even get a date to your formal ? Or didn't go? Unless you are just milking the women here for sympathy ;)

Damn ladies, yall need to start a Cory fan club, I'm jealoous;) lol.
If anyone would actually want to go through all the trouble of pricing tickets to come to Atlantic City for one of my date events, I'd cover the costs . . . lol

Dude -- go to your formal

go alone you will still have fun

i didnt want to go to mine last spring b/c i had to go alone
but in the end it was worth it. I got to see my entire sorority family and i had a pretty good time.

But at least go for a little while or one day when you are sitting in your rocking chair feeling nostalgic you will regret not going b/c some silly, vapid, vain girl said no

screw her

having fun is the best revenge

and i am only 12 hours away hehe ;)

and i LOVE louisville!!! :cool:

I know, I know.

I'd like to go, honestly...but I'm not all about going solo, all the girls that I'm friends with are either going, or have prior engagments, or are too annoying...something I found out taking a friend once before. Who knows what will happen...think I'll probably just skip out & visit my buddies in Cincy on Saturday. So fear not, I didn't give up after one, most of those I would consider asking are taken...so I'm just screwed...but it's cool.

it's cool

Cory

when is said formal ?

yes i know all about taking a friend to a formal

esp since we have a history -- now i remember why i keep my distance from him -- so he doesnt get under my skin again.



AHHHHHH the curse of being a guys best friend

what the hell does one do to get over that :(

I am going to say the same thing to you I said to my daughter...

"You can't honestly tell me that on a campus THAT size, there are no eligible, decent guys who would be flattered if you asked them to your formal." At least you TRIED. She hasn't even done THAT!
(she's now considering some people OUTSIDE GREEKDOM! OMG! Is that possible? Would a GDI from the SOUTH exist that wouldn't mind renting a tux?) Sometimes I think the sexes paint themselves into a corner by limiting their thinking. I know the arguments against asking a GDI, but SURELY there are some cuties outside Sorority Row! Unless it's like THIS WEEKEND (in which case you waited too long to ask and most girls would think they were NOT on the A list and of course they would say NO)...
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! I would think some if not most girls went to colege with a formal-or access to one- hoping they would have an opportunity to actually USE it.
The Cotillion rule of thumb is ask a girl ONE MONTH before a formal affair. That's the end of my "Mom nag"!

Now, unless you are set on seeing your buddies-work through your friends, take a date and have a blast! The perfect fit could be right around the corner, but you just can't see her because she isn't a part of your regular scenery.

word....that means that I have a month to ask.

That should read-ask a girl AT LEAST one month before...
Sorry!

Yeah...formal is two months away. I have a month to ask. :)

Girls also have this sort of problem...
 

So my formal is tomorrow night, and I just experienced about the worst Valentine's Day ever. I don't even want to look at my date, let alone go to formal with him and spend the night in Orlando together. So, what's a girl to do, with appx. 24 hours before the best social event of the year? I'm thinking about telling him he's peaced, but then what do I do? Ask a friend? Or just go by myself?

~A man-hating (at the moment) KD

Absolutely! Haha. Beats my night of Old English and the Food Network. Completely joking... that would most def be depressing. Actually, this valentines will probably go down as the most memorable of my college career, even though I had no boyfriend and was DD.

Tommorow I am leaving with the morning sun to Vegas, but come Tuesday, I hope to be calling you...finally.

Love your valentine
pbpck:D

Re: Girls also have this sort of problem...
 

Well whether its a friend or stag make sure you go, because 20 years from now you won't remember the bad situation all that well but you will wish you had gone.

Try to find one of those casual guys guy and just ask him, I and some of my friends would go in a moment, with a stranger, just for the new experience and a story to tell.

Hey Cory:

Sorry, I am a little late on this ...

Hope things are looking up for you. This girl must be crazy - you are an absolute sweetheart. Please remember that.

I, and I think everyone else on the planet, have experienced rejection. Its not fun. But someday the right girl will come along.

Take Care,

Rhonda

I went and had a good time....and I took a sorority sister of hers who is more cute than she is. ;)

TOLD YOU SOOOO:p
