How do you prepare for rejection?

How old do you want your kids to be before you let them stay home alone for long periods of time? We have a 9 and 13 year old and my husband thinks the 13 year old could stay home on his own while we're working during the summer. We don't trust this kid to use the air fryer on his own and he sleeps through the smoke detector if it goes off, but sure, let's leave him to his own devices all summer.
Would you dump someone for this situation? I was very hungry in the morning and we had drank the evening before. He didn’t want to eat and suggested we take a shower. I fainted in his arms. He gets me to the couch, wrapped in a towel and offers me water. I feel ok and as he’s getting ready to leave ask about our plans for the week. Still sopping wet in a towel he leaves me and never reaches out to ask me how I was. I finished my shower and luckily didn’t faint.
How many of you in long term (1 year+) relationships go on dates with your partner? How often and who plans it? My bf hasn’t planned a date or booked even a reservation at a restaurant in advance in over 10months. It’s really bothering me. We’ve talked about but he doesn’t get why he needs to share the planning sometimes. His excuse is weak “I don’t know how to plan stuff”
How long do you think you'd need to be with someone before you'd be willing to move across the country for them? I ask because I've been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and were talking about marriage, but I was just offered an amazing job opportunity in New York. My boyfriend isn't sure about quitting his job, which pays about half what I earn. I know I don't want a long distance relationship, so if he doesn't get on board with the move, we'll have to break up.
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.
