Accidental Rejection

Burning a fifty pound note, forgetting to play the lottery the week all your family’s birthdays come in, putting a hot somebody’s telephone number through the washing machine before you go to save it. Imagine all three of these gut-wrenching sensations of opportunity lost and you get something close to the accidental rejection.  Whilst cycling through the photos of a potential match, you unknowingly return to the main screen and in an attempt to swipe to the next photo on their profile, you send them into the murky depths of the eternally forgotten ‘left side’. Not only were they the best looking candidate you had ever seen on Tinder, they was exactly your type. This sort of traumatic episode can, understandably, lead to an instant and unhealthy change in psychology. Just like the overbearing mother who refuses to let go of her last remaining son,  we vow never to make that same mistake again and attempt to find solace in compensation. Three six out of tens now may make the cut in an attempt to replace what has been lost. Lesson here: If you can instil in someone the fear of missing out, they are more likely to make rash, impulse decisions at the next available opportunity. Chill out, take a deep breath, they probably would not have liked you anyway.
