If you ask for somone's number or for a date and that person declines, how should you react? Obviously, you don't want to start yelling or crying, so what would be the best thing to say?

I haven't been rejected, but just in case it happens.

Why must anything be said? You asked, you were turned down, go on. Rejection happens to us all the time, learn how to accept it gracefully.....

my advice is to be careful. if u ask someone out make sure that your entire self esteem isn't at stake. i would never ask oa girl out if i thought i couldn't handle the rejection. i think women can sense desperation and that is a big tun off and it usually causes men to get rejected. just be cool about things. don't turn women into gods; they are not any better than you. once you see yourself as an equal who deserves love and attention you will be more confident and equipped to deal with these issues.
my advice is to not make a HUGE deal out of it. that means, still be vulnerable but don't act like this person u ask out is going to determine your worth as a human being. just be yourself if u get rejected. i usually act like i don't care if i am rejected. i move on fast and put that person in the trash if they don't want to give me a chance. it's a huge loss for them. just remember to really value yourself.
good luck,

It's not about saying anything at that point. Just get out of there. If you say something...you aren't helping your cause. If you say anything at all...just be pleasant. There is no need to escalate it into who gets the last word. I've seen guys call girls names if they dont give them their number.... I've seen girls call a guy gay if he rejects her.... its just stupid. It makes a scene when in reality tons of people get rejected each night in tons of clubs.
The nice thing is that if you are the one rejecting people...there are tools to help you. Try giving out the rejection hotline number. For seattle... it is 206 376 9798. Its fun to listen to as well... so give it a call.

HI feedazombie,
I guess the common response should be "OK, bye." and then walk up to the next girl and get her number instead. You are bound to find someone who will give you her number. Hopefully its her actual phone number and not bogus.
Don't let someone who isn't interested hold you back, man. Just keep on asking someone else. Happy hunting.

If the person rejects you, consider the fact that in the long run, they will have done you a favor.

Make yourself a giant gin martini. Once you finish the martini, smile to yourself and say, "Such is life." Then, move on.
