On our second week covering rejection, I'll share two additional tips that will change the way you look at rejection, and wrap up our series on "Building Your Dating Resilience."

Find out how your reaction to rejection is what fuels the fire for heartache, and how it begins to break down your dating resilience.  

Rejection is a normal part of dating, and the only way past it is through it. I'll share today how rejection could have made me miss out on love altogether. 

Hindsight really is 20/20, and it’s easy looking back to say that all the rejections I faced were just a part of finding the right person. It's true, but when you are in the midst of it, it still hurts. 

In my time writing, researching and dating, I met many wonderful people. I met people that could have made good partners. At times, I asked myself if I was just being too picky; if I needed to lower the bar a little? Looking back, if I had not taken the extra time to find someone with deep compatibility, I could have ended up with a very different life. 

What could cause you to give up one day early? 

What could have you settle one day too soon? 

Getting back up never gets easy. But it is worth it in the end. It is why I believe resilience is one of your most powerful dating tools.

I hope I have inspired you to keep going when you are not sure all this is worth the heartache. In those moments, I remind you not to give up. Something great awaits you.

Are you struggling with shyness and confidence in dating when starting over? My struggle to start again changed my life in incredible ways.
