The Fear Of Rejection!
Just lately, l have met two men (at two separate funerals!) who have said, when they were younger that they would have loved to have asked me out but were too scared that l would say, no and they'd have felt rejected!I was astounded, and could not believe my ears. l didn't realise, l was that scary!!
Of course, women can suffer rejection too but in my day, it was the man that asked the girl for a date.
Have you ever suffered or feared rejection in some way, or other in your life?

Is it too late for them to ask you out now Art
Looking back I feel a bit guilty having turned down men who asked me out
. I now appreciate the courage it must have taken for them to ask me but I was such an insecure mess at that time I couldn't accept.

I suppose the same applied to them asking a girl for a dance? Being turned down, then having to walk back across the dance floor to their friends who probably took the Micky out of them!!

What a shame some of us didn't have the confidence that comes with age when we are young
what a difference it would have made..
