Would you rather be told the truth (You are not good enough...or something along the lines of that)
 
Or would you rather be let down "gently"  (It's not you...it's me!!)

#2 Posted by Mamba219 (120 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

As long as they made it clear that I had no chance, I'd prefer the second. Being led on is the worst.

#3 Posted by Mmmslash (2164 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

If this applies to male-male pairings, I prefer honesty. Tell me what is wrong with me, and I can approve on myself. Just coddle me, and nothing good can come of it.

#4 Posted by VoodooTerror (603 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

id rather be told straight, at least if you know you're not good enough, you can freely move on to somebody else without ever thinking what if

#5 Posted by FlamingHobo (4433 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I don't like people that aren't straight with me.

#7 Posted by Patters666 (12 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Neither, simply a 'I don't feel the same way (any more)' while often still devastating is far more honest in most cases.

I DON'T GET TURNED DOWN.

#9 Posted by Baillie (3490 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I've been rejected once, but two weeks later I started going out with her. Still am.

#10 Edited by Snipzor (3316 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Doesn't matter, it will still kill me inside... might as well be honest about it. Actually because I have such a shitty self-esteem, being flat out honest about it won't get me that hard. If they were gentle about it, I'd think they were lying and therefore I would behave like a total shithead about it for months.
 
I don't know this by personal experience, I just have a feeling.

#11 Posted by girdz (3339 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Ehhh, I haven't really been rejected before, I suppose I would prefer 'I don't feel the same way'. That would still suck though.

#12 Posted by Daveyo520 (6540 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I'd rather be told the truth. I am tired of lies told to me by them and junk. That sounds kinda creepy...

#13 Posted by damnboyadvance (4031 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Be told the truth. Gotta get it out at some point.

THIS IS THE REASON YOU'RE BEING REJECTED...

This is the correct answer/reaction.

This kinda happened with me. She rejected me, then missed talking to me and having her in her life, we went out, then she rejected me again. Women are tricky as hell.
#17 Edited by Rirobuge (163 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I'd rather be told the truth. Because it has happened to me before and the lie hurt initially, and again a month later when I really found out it was a lie.

#18 Posted by JackiJinx (3046 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I usually have to turn down girls since I don't dig them that way. But having had guys both be straight out and not, I prefer the former. Grow a spine.

#19 Posted by RiotBananas (3600 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Watch my video above, you'll soon realise it's never your fault when you get rejected.

#20 Posted by jbrader (32 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@Mmmslash: What's wrong is that you have confused improve with approve.  
In all seriousness though you're absolutely right.

#23 Edited by raidingkvatch (1129 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@RJay_64:  Somewhere in between, I'd want to know what it is they don't find attractive, but since I'd already be feeling somewhat crushed I don't think I'd react well to a brutal response, like "you're fat and have a big nose". Diplomacy rather than outright lies I suppose. Not that I get rejected as I don't bother to ask, I just jump on 'em and yell SURPRISE!
#24 Posted by FateOfNever (1638 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I'd rather be told the truth.  Being put down 'gently' doesn't help in anyway.  I'd still think it over in my head, wondering why I was rejected, but never know for certain.  I mean, you don't need to be a jerk when telling someone the truth, but, it's really just better for everyone involved in the long run, even if it may be the more difficult choice.

And the former.

#27 Posted by CandleJakk (750 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Honesty. If they can't be straight and honest, the  whilst I know I'm a better person, it's worse.

#28 Posted by PenguinDoctor (292 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Honesty is the best policy!
#29 Posted by DeShawn2ks (1013 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I don't care I would just shrug my shoulders keep it pushing and move on to the next female.

#31 Posted by Cazamalos (971 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

i want the truth, years ago a girl reject me with something like "i'm not ready for a relationship of this kind" and a week later she was the girlfriend of one of my best friends....and that hurts  me...

#32 Posted by swamplord666 (1742 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I haven't been rejected properly since I was 16 and an idiot. and mostly I appreciated being told nicely.  
I'll just assume we're not compatible like I do with alot of potential girlfriends that don't work out. If it doesn't click, I won't do it and I let them know nicely without going too much into specifics.

#33 Posted by sarahsdad (914 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I've been let down both "gently" and "directly". Obviously none of it was fun at the time, but I have much better memories, years latter, of the girls who were direct.

@RiotBananas: That is an awesome song! lol!
#35 Posted by Gearhead (2249 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

First girl I asked out; I was denied. I kind of wish she just said no but she went for the whole: "Your a nice guy," thing. So I'm going to go for the truth.

I hate when girls beat around the bush & shit. I would have so much more respect if they told me flat out that they were not interested in me romantically instead of "Oh i dunno, I'm so confused right now!". 
 
The worst thing ever is when a girl leads you on. It's fucking horrible, I've been through that so many times before. 
#37 Posted by natetodamax (18927 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

lol girlfriends

#38 Posted by Xeiphyer (5157 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I don't get rejected! If I have to reject or break up with a girl, I do it nicely and honestly. You don't want to be too much of a dick, but you need them to understand that its over. Otherwise they caught up thinking there might be a chance or something and can't move on. Which sucks.

#39 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9067 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Considering I have my eye on a girl right now, I don't even want to think about it. So instead, I leave you with this song found in Dumb and Dumber. Just kidding. Youtube still sucks. The song even shows up in the search engine history in several ways, but it's not on the website.

#40 Edited by Valkyr (657 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

They never tell you why they don´t like you, because they think they are choosing based on a feeling and not a personal feature, but it is a fact they didn´t like how you looked or something about your personality, that would be very helpful to learn how to be better (to their eyes, you will always act as yourself later ), but they always say "I love you as a friend" or something like that instead of  "you are not pretty enough for me" or "I don' t like your gaming habits".

#41 Posted by Elazul (1317 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

I'd much perfer she just tell me honestly so I can call her a "massive bitch" and we can be done with it. Nothing's more awkward more than thinking a girl is interested in you when she really isn't.

#42 Posted by agentboolen (1619 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago
@RJay_64:  i'd rather be a quick respectful rejection and then just move on and hit on another girl.  The fact is if you reject a person with out even knowing who they are its a bit harsh to say that your better then them and there not good enough.  Looks put to the side, because if you say something like that you just sound immature, get another reason to say no instead of just looks.

This should be a poll. Anyway, either one would suck, but I rather the girl have some balls and - wait! That's not what I meant! 
 
Anyway, a girl should be honest, because all being vague does is have dudes get their hopes up. Saying, "I'm not sure right now," or whatever other mumbo jumbo is just going make the wooing and the wooer go in circles.

#46 Posted by Halberdierv2 (1819 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

id rather be told straight up.

#47 Posted by SuperSambo (2742 posts) - 3 years, 1 month ago

Truth.
