I've tried to. I've expressed interest in women I find interesting or who may be like me and it turns out they are already taken (husband, boyfriend, girlfriend) or just not interested. No big deal. I just end up waiting for another person to come along.

I think this is a very well written article, however, while I acknowledge and like the fact that rejection is first in the article, I can definitely attest that there is a point to rejection, more so than the number of relationships, partners, even more so than breakups, and that is constant rejection.
