INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In most cases, romantic rejection is not a criticism of your character. If a girl decides she doesn't want to date you, it doesn't mean she dislikes you or even finds you unattractive. Though every instance of rejection is different, the common thread is that "you" are not rejected. Rather, your request to date is. After the rejection, don't be afraid to feel any emotions that come your way. Sadness, anger, fear, and similar feelings are all natural parts of rejection, and working through them now will make it far easier to move on in the future. Don't be afraid to cry or scream when you're alone. If you can, talk through your feelings with a close friend, family member, or therapist. Sharing your emotions with a supportive, understanding person can make a huge difference in your mental well-being. Though returning to the rejection may hurt, doing so after grieving can help you better understand what happened and gain some closure. If you believe your crush said no because she dislikes something about you, think about whether it is something you should change or if it is a simple matter of preference. In addition, remember that there are plenty of reasons she might have said no that aren't related to you, such as: She is too busy to date. She has a different sexual orientation than you. She is working through personal or emotional issues. She already has a significant other. She has a crush on someone else. She enjoys being single. If your crush is someone you see a lot, it's normal to experience some awkwardness after a rejection. Over time, you and your crush's nerves will cool down and your normal friendship can resume. Until then, try to be as kind, friendly, and polite to your crush as you can. Say "hi" when you see her. Smile and ask how she is if you're nearby. Just treat her like a friend and eventually you'll feel better around one another.

SUMMARY: Remember that rejection is not a personal attack. Give yourself time to grieve. Think about why she said no. Be kind to your crush even if things feel awkward.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While cut refers more to quality and level of brilliance, the shape is one aspect of the cut. Review the possible shapes available on the market, and choose the one you like best. If buying a diamond for someone else, ask his/her opinion before selecting a shape, or bring a trusted friend/family member. Select a popular, classic shape if you have no one to ask. The most popular shapes are round brilliant, princess, and cushion cut. Consider a non-traditional shape if the receiver has a non-traditional personality. Also, note that less common shapes can be 30%, for the same karat weight and quality! Less common shapes that are still fairly popular include marquise, oval, pear, and heart. A diamond's cut determines the vast majority of its brilliance, and many consider the cut to be the most important factor when choosing a diamond. Ask the jeweler to see the Gemological Institute of America's (GIA's) diamond grading report for any diamond you consider purchasing. This report will give you a rough grade on cut: Select an "Ideal Cut" diamond for the highest level of perfection. Choose a "Very Good" or "Excellent" grade diamond for a slightly less expensive yet high-quality stone. Consider a "Good" grade if you want to balance the other C's and still stick to a budget. Never purchase a fair to poor quality diamond, especially for engagement rings and other gifts. Diamonds at these levels severely lack brilliance. The pavilion side is the lower side of a diamond, which isn't visible enough and has no impact on its sparkling style. Chevrons are of particular importance when considering the princess cut diamonds. These are the facets at the pavilion side of the diamond surrounding the main pavilion. Most princess cuts have two, three or four chevrons. The more the chevrons, the more the light gets reflected upon. There is no "right" number of chevrons, just personal preference. More chevrons lead to a more multifaceted look, whereas less has a smoother look.

SUMMARY: Pick out the right shape for you and your budget. Choose the highest quality of cut you can afford. Consider the number of chevrons.
