Online dating is, most of the time, fun, happy, and exciting. Of course, with the happy and passionate men and women in online dating, you can really expect a good time! However, as with everything, there are also some inevitable sad moments. Rejection is one of them. It is a part of all forms of dating, online or otherwise. Never think though that rejection only happens to you or a few people. It is part of the process of finding your ideal match.

Alright, so how do you deal with rejection when it comes to you in online dating?

First, you must realise that rejection is part of the dating process and that most people that you meet online would not be fit your ideal match. Not everyone on the Internet dating site fits your ideals though you might think so. So whether it was you who was rejected or you doing the rejecting, remember that the username you are typing your message to is a real person on the other end of the computer connection. One that has real life, feelings and thoughts aside in online dating. This is essentially important especially when you are the one who doesn't want to carry on with the relationship. Mind what you say. Be polite. Never throw harsh and hurtful words to others, because what goes up must come down and it could all come back right at you.

Second, no matter how tempted you are to just ignore someone when your interest in them has already faded, remember to always let them know that you are not into them anymore. Evidently, many want the easy way out correct? But the other person still deserves to know that you are not interested in them anymore. Tell them in a polite manner on why you have to get a move on after just a short series of email exchanges.

Third, when you are the one who has been rejected take it to stride and don't get personal with the one who rejected you. If you really like someone and then he/ she is the one who's really not into you; don't spam his/ her inbox with messages asking for an explanation. Take is aside and reply with a sincere thank you and wish them well in finding their matches. That way, you leave a favorable impression even after your online dating journey had finished with that person. Besides, with online dating, you can still go and find someone else who would fit your ideals better, and who could be a better match for you.
