Facing rejection through online dating has to be one of the worst feelings in the world.  Especially that dreaded Instant Messaging rejection as you sit there and see the words, “Susie874 has declined to answer your Instant Message at this time.”

Believe me, I know the feeling.  As a former struggling online dater I saw that familiar sentence on JDate more times than I would have ever liked to.  Being rejected feels bad enough, but being rejected without ever even having a chance to make your pitch is an even worse feeling.  At least when we get rejected in real life we have a chance to say something or be heard out!

While these feelings can be crippling to your self esteem, the truth is, its not your fault.  Don’t take it personally.  These women are not necessarily rejecting you for reasons that have to do with your looks or personality.  It is more that they get bombarded by more messages than they could ever answer.

I often say, “hall of famers bat 300” online.  There is so much competition that even the best will often be “rejected” seven out of 10 times.  The important thing is to follow online dating tips that will provide you with the best possible chance to bat .300.   So work on every aspect of your online game that you could think of, and when you are in tip top shape, if that dreaded “decline” comes, have no worries because its probably nothing personal; here are plenty of women around the corner.

  1. This is my 1st time i go to here. I located so many entertaining stuff in your blog, specially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only 1 having all of the leisure here! Keep up the very good work.

  2. Thanks for this wonderful article. Yet another thing to mention is that most digital cameras can come equipped with a zoom lens that allows more or less of that scene to generally be included through ‘zooming’ in and out. These kind of changes in concentration length usually are reflected from the viewfinder and on big display screen at the back of your camera.
