This is one skill I want you to master: Rejecting online dating rejection.<\/em> Learning to accept rejection gracefully, with as few \u201cdings\u201d to your self-esteem as possible, is key<\/em> \u00a0to finding your true love using online dating.<\/p>\n As a dating coach, I\u2019ve found the #1 reason you won\u2019t have success with online dating is giving up too soon. What you perceive as online rejection can exhaust you mentally and the positive attitude you started out with will quickly dwindle.<\/p>\n Here are 4 things to know to help you move forward in the online dating world with your self-esteem intact!<\/p>\n 1) They dont know you.<\/p>\n All a guy knows about you is 20 sentences and a few mediocre pictures. If they don\u2019t \u201cpick\u201d you, take a deep breath and remember: There are 1000 reasons a guy won\u2019t be interested and 999 of them\u00a0have nothing to do with YOU. They want someone under 5\u20192\u201d, someone who skis, someone without kids, someone who lives closer, etc. These things have absolutely nothing to do with who you are or even what you look like.<\/p>\n The way I see it, better he NOT chose you and waste your time or save you heartache and disappointment later. And let\u2019s be honest. There are a myriad of reasons YOU reject guys online as well. You wouldn\u2019t expect them to take it personally and feel all crappy about it, right? Theres just something you didnt connect with. (And I know that some of your reasons are completely silly, btw).\u00a0Believe me, most men are so much better at this online dating thing than we are. They get told no\u00a0wayyyy more than we do, but they understand\u00a0that this is a process, accept that and keep going.<\/p>\n 2) Let\u2019s define rejection.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s separate true rejection with what you consider as online rejection. You have a right to cry in your wine if the guy you\u2019ve been dating for 3 months, who has truly gotten to KNOW you and you him, suddenly stops calling or breaks up with you. That feels crappy and like rejection, for sure.<\/p>\n But the guy not responding to your \u201clike\u201d or your email on Match.comthats just part of the process thats going to lead you to some fun dates and eventually your Mr. I Love You. Move on without wasting one moment or one bit of energy. You have things to do!<\/p>\n 3) Men over 40 are like kids in a candy store.<\/p>\n Guys in their older years have the statistical advantage \u2013 there are more of us (women over 40 looking for love) and fewer of them (men over 40 doing the same). A lot of women are emailing the 60 year old man with a great head of hair, healthy, active life and good career.<\/p>\n Imagine it like this\u00a0\u00a0I asked a client about this yesterday: \u201cYou meet a guy in Starbucks and after a very brief chat he takes your card\u00a0and he never calls. Would this bother you?\u201d I asked. \u201dNo\u201dshe said. \u201cId figure he probably went off to live his busy life and, since he didn\u2019t really know me, I just kind of dropped out of his mind. That wouldn\u2019t bother me.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, imagine that he went home after Starbucks and there were\u00a025 women waiting for him with open arms. Some even have candy for him and are wearing sexy outfits. Thats what its like for a guy online. Lots of choices. They can meet a lot of women. Thats just the truth. (But keep in mind that men, especially men dating in their 40s, 50s and beyond,\u00a0still have the same dating challenges we do; sometimes worse.)<\/p>\n So just know this, and heed my advice to let the feeling of online rejection wash over you. Also heed my advice about how to make online dating work best for you.<\/p>\n 4) Your age actually counts in your favor.<\/p>\n One advantage to being a woman over 40\u00a0 is that you have the perspective of a life well lived. Instead of tapping into the insecure 18-year-old who is biting her nails waiting for the phone to ring and wondering whats wrong with you when it doesnt, grab\u00a0the confident, experienced woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it.<\/p>\n I encourage you to use online dating to meet as many men\u00a0as possible.\u00a0And remember, all you need is ONE\u00a0good man.<\/p>\n Mastering the art of accepting rejection gracefully will most certainly help you stay online long enough to find your true love.\u00a0This is exactly how I did it and millions of others have! Take responsibility for managing your feelings, and use this as the powerful tool it is to lead you to love.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Online Dating Rejection: There\u2019s No Such Thing!
