Today’s Questionable Content was a rather depressing one, featuring one of the characters getting rejected completely and utterly by the guy she’d been developing feelings for. While anyone who’d been reading this comic would of seen it coming a mile away, it’s still a rather tough scene to read.
The way he handled it was fair in his position. It was sudden, he’s drunk and no time to think. However, the topic at hand is about Marigold’s (the female) reaction to being rejected, and the rejection itself. Rejection is a tough thing to face when you don’t possess the ego of Saxton Hale, and is something I myself are quite fearful of.
He fears nothing.
I’ve always had trouble with girls because of this fear; rarely making any advance unless I was confident I wouldn’t get rejected. It’s something I’ve started to get over, but was a real hindrance on my social life.
As for being the rejecter, it’s a tough road for me. I can’t flat out reject someone even if I have completely decided that I’m not and will never be interested. I give roundabout answers, be vague, and never flat out say no to girls. I know the feeling of being rejected and don’t want to do that to someone. However that can backfire on me, and I’ve had situations where a girl has pretty much stalked me, even though I’d eventually made it clear that I was in no way ever going to go out with her.
Basically, I’ve learned that as much as rejection can hurt, it’s best to just be honest. Say no where no is applicable, but preferably say it nicely (unless she’s a total bitch, in which I suggest throwing in a punch to the face. Punches to the face are there to bolden the words you speak.). Being honest is the only way to come out on top, and if you say it correctly and don’t make a big deal of it, she’ll be okay too. Of course, finding the best way to say it is still something I have trouble with, but I’ve been successful once or twice, and even stayed on good terms with those involved.
TL;DR Rejection is a difficult beast to deal with, but honesty works better in the long run. Just be nice about it.

Today I’ve been asked a question on my FormSpring in relation to the one answer here.
so then whats your worst relatioship? you should by a fish
First thing’s first; I had a fish, it was an Axolotl (Mexican walking fish). I didn’t take good care of it. Now onto the actual question.
Rating relationships on how bad they were is a tough thing to do, but I think it comes down to two relationships, for two different reasons. That would be my first “relationship”, and my third.
My first, which I have written about in How To Fail At Girls, was because I was too inexperienced to actually do anything beyond hugging. I would go into that more, but you can read about it in that section (it’s titled My First Girlfriend, who’d of thought?)
My third relationship was worse for the reason that because of her lifestyle I ended up feeling worse about myself, and she cheated on me many many times. Once even while we were in the same house. I of course only found out about this after we broke up, but that’s life. I have no regrets about how it ended up, and am happier now anyway.
I hope that answered the question.

I checked my FormSpring on a whim the other day, and there was ACTUALLY a new question, and it’s a good one.
wahts your best relationship so far? apart from with britney
Ignoring the mistakes, and the fact her name is actually Brittany, that is indeed a really good question, and one I can’t PROPERLY answer. Every relationship is important in making me what I am now, every kiss, every hug, every problem, all made me who I am today.
If I had to say one, it would probably be my relationship with Courtney; it ended nice with no fights, and unlike most of my previous relationships no one cheated on anyone. She’s the only person who after a relationship I’ve stayed friends with, and that makes it the best relationship I’ve had before Brittany.
I felt weird answering this, but it was a really good question. Who asked it? That’s my question.

Decided to answer a rather unexpected question I received via FormSpring, on this here blogging type place.
Are you single?
Obviously this person doesn’t have me as a friend on Facebook. I changed my relationship status, and within ten minutes I had multiple text messages on my phone from random friends and acquaintances wondering whether I’d gotten back with my ex, or who it was if not her. It was amazing considering I hadn’t had a chance to tell even my best friend.
If you didn’t gather by now, the answer is no, I’m not single. I’m in a fairly new relationship with a talented artist. Trufax.
Please, feel free to ask more questions of me by clicking here. Really.
