never give up, that's what i say. many times I have initially been rejected but because I did not give up, I usually ended up with the one that I wanted. Sure it's easy to go out with someone that you know likes you or is sending you some good signals, but most of the time it's "the ones that we don't want that are interested in us , and the ones that we do want that won't give us the time of day" , right?
Therein lies the challenge. We can never have enough friends and if you make enough friends with the opposite sex, eventually, one of your "friends" will take an interest in who you really are (assuming your not a shallow person) and take your relationship to a higher level.
Be a good friend, a good listener and you'll have more friends than you can handle, plus, wouldn't you rather hang out with a bunch of friends of the opposite sex? (hint: by becoming friends with your "target", you will get to know them intimately, (i.e. likes/dislikes), and this will be a huge advantage for you when you make your move.)
More than once I have had past girlfriends tell me, "you know, I wasn't even attracted to you when we first met and now I'm your girlfriend"!
And I consider myself just an average looking guy.
I hope this helps some of you cause life is too short and then well,..you die! 8)
