It’s hard to gather the courage to propose love to someone who you think you are very close to and have some affection for, just to hear No. It’s hard to get bounced. Those who have been there, know what I’m talking about.
It takes a higher level of maturity to remain as friends or as you used to be after being bounced by the same person. If the person is willing to stay in the friendship zone then that’s fine. But if the person is unwilling, don’t force him or her to still befriend you after “bouncing” or rejecting them.
It’s hard to be rejected after a proposal.
It can make you feel bad about yourself. If you bounce someone, don’t expect the person to treat you like before. It doesn’t work that way. Especially, if you get to know the person has moved on with a new guy or lady, don’t force yourself to occupy the position you once rejected. Let the person go so he or she can concentrate on the new relationship as you focus on yours.
If a person really wants to stay in your life or be with you, he/she will do everything to stay.
Sometimes we focus too long on trying to figure out why something didn’t work out the way we wanted, why a relationship or friendship didn’t last. You may not understand everything you go through. Just keep pressing forward and don’t let the bitterness take root.
There’s another chapter in front of you, but you have to be willing to walk into it.
Don’t feel bad if you have bounced someone too, it’s not everyone you can marry. Some people are simply not meant for you, no matter how emotional you feel about them, how hard you try to let them stay, how supportive they’ve been or how beautiful they look. Learn to let go!
When you get bounced, go through a disappointment or a break-up, don’t stay on that page – Turn the page.
