Handling a rejection

Tough luck mate. If she says she does not love you, take it on the face value. Dont ask her for reasons, thats stupid. Dont get angry with her for not loving you, that will be childish. If she is a considerate girl she will take the time to explain the lay of things. May be she will tell you she is not ready for a relationship, that she wants to be just friends with you, may be she is just not sure of her feelings, that she needs time, or something along these lines. Here are some responses you can take as positive.

1. I am not sure if i am ready for a relationship yet (this could be positive, meaning there is still hope)
2. I need some time to think about it (there is some hope)
3. All this seems a bit sudden (may be with time she will start loving you)
4. Lets just be friends (almost hopeless, just leave her completely and see how it works)

Responses which are along these lines would indicate that you jumped the ball too quickly. Anyways you need to give her time, so dont force anything upon her. Give her a lot of space, maybe just avoid her for a few days so that she knows what she is missing. Get out of her life, avoid her calls, avoid talking to her, there is good chance that she will realize that good things in her life had a lot to do with you. She would finally confort you of course and that might be the time when she says "i love you too". It has happened in most relationships, its a common thing for a girl to realize her feeling for you only after you tell her about your feelings for her.

The last thing you want to do is get into the friends zone with her. If you say something like, its ok if you dont love me lets just be friend, thats a big mistake. If she does not commit herself just leave her, avoid her, stop talking to her even if its really tough for you. Learn to suck it up, dont give in to your emotional pressure. She will know what she is missing only if you give her a chance to miss you.
