<p>I like this person at school (it kind of died down compared to a couple of weeks ago), but nonetheless I still like the person. Anyway, I would ask this person out, but what's holding me back is the rejection part. I have a hard time mustering up the courage to ask a person out. </p>
<p>This Friday my school is going an anonymous valentine day thing so I guess I'll start from there..</p>
<p>Any other advice to muster up the courage to ask someone out?</p>
<p>If you think about it, taking every rejection personally is pretty presumptuous. You never know, they may just not be interested in dating or may be getting involved with someone else, or maybe they’re going through some personal issues. Unless they say so there’s really no reason to assume there was anything wrong with you.</p>
<p>sure you’ll feel sad at first, but after a day or two you’ll be over it and you’ll have closure because you will know for certain that she is uninterested in you. </p>
<p>Then you can move on and find another potential mate. Don’t look at as rejection. It’s an opportunity to grow.</p>
<p>What DMOC said, find out if he’s single… and probably more importantly find out if he’s gay/bi so he’d be welcome to your advances. Then go from there. I’m guessing you already know so maybe you could make the valentine a bit more…obvious?</p>
<p>Haha thanks guys. Well I know he’s single and bi, so that’s set. I did step one by doing the anonymous valentine day card thing. I’ll see where it goes from there.</p>
