How do you prepare for rejection?

Hi I know this might sound weird but I'm 21 not quite driving yet won't have a car to practice in soon but anyway I just started dating and I want to go on a date with him but I feel like I have to tell my mom but for some reason I'm nervous to but I am grown so, I don't know what to do, I'll also have to tell my brother since he'll have to take me but that's nothing, I'm worried she might think it's too soon, we've been talking for like two weeks and want to see a movie, what do y'all think
You don’t, confidence is key. Like a boxer, you get back up and into the ring. You’re the best there is, expect to succeed
Expect nothing
Every relationship ends in rejection unless it's the one. It's no big deal
Are you saying rejection from a dating pool? Or Rejection while in a relationship already?
Gotcha. Well, if you’re already interested I’d say that you only need to be careful and go slow. Don’t let feelings be bigger than they need to be at this stage. Not sure if you have this person as a friend, if you never approached at all or what but in general, I’d say be direct. Not creepy lol but honest. “Hey, I’ve been noticing you for some time and I’d love to know you better” and see what comes back. If the person says, no thank you, than that’s great! You know you cannot invest in your current interest and move on. Don’t take personally, it’s not about you. See as literally a trial and error process.
You work on yourself till you become the 10/10 that has never ending options. Makes rejection a little easier.
You’ll still get rejected. But the difference is you won’t care as much when you have options.
