Hiya - I would say I get rebuffed a lot. It has affected my confidence. The only 2 long term relationships I had were as a result of me being a friend with these women for a long time first. I had a 'good run' (sounds crass, sorry) in my mid 20s for a bit, but over the last year or 2 my rejection rate is high. I definitely get turned down a LOT. Queue the sound of violins drowning out my barely audible sob....
