rejectionship

The one-sided relationship that exists between a rejector and a rejectee post-rejection. It is most commonly occurring when the rejector had some amount of feelings for the rejectee.

"That guy that Jessica rejected last month just started dating Maddie and now she's totally depressed, she needs to get out of her rejectionship with him and move on."

rejectionship

When someone (usually a woman) rejects someone but still wants them to be single and not date anyone else in the mean time, either because they realize they actually do like them or simply because they crave staying desired

She realized her rejectionship was over after she saw the guy she rejected multiple times on the train with a new girl.

rejection run

a respectful game in which a group of people go bar hopping with the intention of asking people out as fast as possible, with the stipulations that said people must be told at some point, and the loser has to wear a dunce-style hat with the words 'party pooper' at the next rejection run

Harold and the boys seemed to think that the rejection run was the perfect idea to finally get Charles laid.

Rejection

Trust me. I know how it feels. You put up a good zinger of a Definition up here on uRbaN DICTIONARY, one may call it. Then Suddenly out of nowhere... (KABOOM) It's allllll gone. All that hard work you put into a meaningless UD Pun, Evaporated, Eviscerated, Evicted out of thin air.

<Nooooooooo Hella good idea for a definition I'll never be able to see or remember again. Why WHYYYYYYYY!?)
(Wasn't this about some kind of definition for "Rejection">
<Well both hurt Speaker B)
(Yeah but it's more about discarding something after it is not deemed or seemed 'fit'>
<s-sSame tThing *proceeds to cry*)
(oh brother>

Ejection Seating

The intentional, passive-aggressive act of behaving in a sudden, eccentric, or highly unappealing manner (often via text or on a date) to force the other person to end the relationship or ghost you first, thereby avoiding the uncomfortable responsibility of initiating the breakup.

Named after the pilot mechanism used to forcefully propel oneself out of an aircraft in an emergency; in dating, the person hits their own emotional "eject" button by making the situation unworkable for the partner.

"I didn't hear back after my last date, but I think I just got ejection seated—he suddenly started sending me three-page manifestos about his theories on ancient aliens."

"He didn't want to break up with her before the holidays, so he started ejection seating by moving into his mom's basement and only communicating through interpretive dance videos."

"I tried to get a second date, but she responded to my text with a detailed financial plan for our retirement. I think I just got ejection seated."
