Rejection - I'm gutted

Ok, I really thought this girl was the one for me - I knew her forever and really liked her. So when I was chatting to her today I casually asked her for her number - and she says "I'm not allowed to give it to anyone, my boyfriend wouldn't allow it". She didn't make a massive deal out of it which was nice and we still talked for a bit, until she said bye and walked off, I still felt like a tit though.

I shouldn't have bothered I mean I saw her with someone ages ago but thought they could just be friends.

Basically I've burnt all my bridges now - and I feel like ****!

I guess there was no right way to ask her, I mean if I asked her if she had a boyfriend outright it wouldn't have hurt any less, when she said yes.

I just want to crawl under a rock n die. :frown:

no biggie mate. seriously. big deep breaths, you weren't to know! Its no hassle, the fact she still talked to you after is a major plus - can you imagine if she'd said "EWWW Get away from me you foul beast".

You'll be fine. here, have a bosomy hug :hugs:

Aww you'll be alright. Chin up :smile:

Just feel sorry for her that she has such a possessive boyfriend who 'won't allow' her to contact other boys. Jeez.

You should have done your research first! Just learn from it for next time, or wait for them to break up.

It could have gone far far worse I'd say.

Exactly. It could have been worse.
At least you had the courage to go up to her and do it.
Better luck next time :smile:

you'll be okay... just wasn't the right timing (or maybe not the right girl). Her boyfriend seems like a bit of a w*nker though, not "allowing" her to give out her number... i mean i understand why he wouldn't like it ... but not allowing?

You knew her forever, yet didn't already have her number?

She's not allowed to give anyone her number because her boyfriend won't allow it? What a load of absolute betty swollocks. Did you specifically ask her for her number with the intention of taking her out? Or did you ask for it in case you needed it to get in contact for work/school/college/uni purposes?
