at a office party, i tried to invite a female coworker for a drink. she rejected me in front of everybody. i felt bad.
ah, i see. well, it is a good thing you were rejected thing, maybe. at least now you know what kind of a bullet you dodged. plus, this is just another step in your overall confidence and character building. the next time you ask someone else out, it will be easier.
she has been mean and making sure that everyone knows. that is the thing.
