last nigth, my sister in-law phoned my wife, you know her elder sister, that she told a boy that she wanted to ber his girlfriend, but she was rejected and she felt it was a huge shame for her to get rejected. my sister in-law is now studing in a unversity. do you think that it's a shame for a girl to get rejected by someone?

Hmmm it all depends on the setting. Like here in the Philippines, girls courting guys is a "new" thing and not that accepted yet. It isn't a taboo but it doesn't look good either. So, I guess being rejected by a guy is yeah, a shame. The guy must have had reasons.

The only reason is that the girl is not ideally pretty in the boy's eyes.

But she mustn't dwell on that emotion. Like, be ashamed for a second, then forget it after. Just that. Let her move on. We don't know... the guy would be the one running after her next time.

That is a mean reason. Tsk2. Anyways, there are more guys out there. Let her keep looking or just keep waiting, whatever she wants to do.

While rejection definitely hurts and leaves a sting, especially, when it concerns relationship, it's nothing to be ashamed about or feel like great shame has been brought upon one. I'm sure she'll get over it. Although, she'll have trouble for a while facing that boy again. Right now she probably thinks there is something wrong with her. Why else wouldn't that boy want her? lol. And for people girls that age, if the boy thinks there is something wrong with her, the entire world has to think the same way. It's still hormones in overdrive. And for your sister-in-law it's a big deal, but she'll get over it once she realizes that people still like her just the same. Hopefully she'll find somebody nice soon, who'll really appreciate her. And all of this will be forgotte;)

i believe my sister in-law can get over the rejection stuff, i'll tell her what you suggested, and she'll find her mr. right and the one who'll really like her.

It is not a shame. May be the boy already is committed to some one else, or he may be having differnt priorities. She needs to understand that.

NO!!! everyone gets rejected its not a shame since it happens to everyone. Just tell her to move on life has bigger challenges than being rejected.
