Dating Over 40 - Handling Rejection - Ask Yourself, "Who's Next?"

Dating Over 40 - Handling Rejection - Ask Yourself, "Who's Next?"

Learning how to handle rejection is vital for surviving the dating scene. If you are going to date, you are going to experience rejection - it's inevitable. This is particularly true for online dating where the rejection rate is high because you'll meet so many prospects.

Ask Yourself, "Who's Next?"
Here's one method that really works like a charm to take the edge off and propel you forward to meet someone new. Try asking yourself this powerful question: "Who's next?" Shifting your focus to future prospects provides a positive solution to this difficult passage. When you are disappointed by someone you meet or have a date that didn't go your way, ask yourself, "Who's next on my dating agenda?"

There Are Always More People to Date
The idea comes from a place of abundance where there are always more people to meet and date. If one guy/gal doesn't cut the mustard or passes you up, remember there are plenty more where he/she came from. Never before have there been this many single adults looking for love. Why bemoan the loss of one person who got away? Instead stay positive and look forward to the new prospect you will meet.

Console Yourself with a Promising Thought
When I was dating, I certainly had my share of bad dates. For example, I met Ken at a trendy restaurant in town. As soon as I approached him to identify myself, he looked at his watch and announced that he had only 15 minutes. Rude? Oh yeah. Did I feel hurt and rejected? Of course. But, as I drove home, I consoled myself with one amazingly promising thought - the next night I had a date with someone new.

Countless Options Await
"Who's next?" thinking is the best cure for almost anything that ails a person on the dating front. If you need to have a little pity-party over one that got away, go ahead. But don't lose your self-confidence, positive attitude, or momentum. Keep the mourning over a prospect you just met to a minimum, because countless other options are waiting to meet a fabulous person like you.

Incorporate this potent phrase into your thoughts about dating and experience the powerful, positive force it provides. You deserve the love you want and to find it, stay focused, stay optimistic, and stay in the dating game.
