There's a whole spotlight effect with being embarrassed that they'd talk behind your back, too: people don't actually give a damn. No one's going to notice you getting rejected, and if she talk to her close circle of friends about you, then so be it. It's a small circle that'll forget about it in a day. Anyhow, an anecdote: last week I decided to ask out this really attractive redhead girl completely out of my league, and so we went to this Thai restaurant for dinner. It was a nice, we talked and it was overall relaxing. But shit didn't take off and yesterday she texts me essentially pulling the whole "let's stay friends bit." I'm 'kay with it, and I bet a bunch of her friends now know how boring I am, or something. Today, though, we talked normally without any awkwardness and had a fun time. I essentially didn't lose anything by asking this girl out. |
The story is totally different in High School, though. Maybe when everyone is out of HS/Uni then they can understand each other better, but there are a lot of immature people in HS that'll keep bringing up that you got rejected. It's not good for anyone to ask someone out and then be rejected in High School. It's almost like someone posted the whole thing on FaceBook... well, they usually do. 
Luckily, this hasn't happened to me. It's easier to just flirt with girls then to ask them out.
