OK, I don't get over rejection very easily. It festers inside me
for MONTHS!
In the meantime, I may look sunny and pretend
everything's fine, but inside, there's still this whiny little
voice doing its devilish thing like some broken record. It does
mucho damage to my esteem and ego!

Frail heart, I guess.
I guess most introverts would realise. We
always end up looking inwards.
Hey, since when did men stop being the ardent pursuer?
And, stereotypes exist because stereotype thinking persists.
I mean, a woman pursuing a man endlessly, despite being rejected a
few times, wouldn't she be called a 'desperado'?
But a dogged man, people go 'AAAaaaaawwwww... he loves her so much!
She should relent and say 'Yes!''. See?
