Guy Rejected by Crush Who Thought He Had Small Salary
A guy shared his experience after being rejected by his crush, who mistakenly assumed he had a small income.
Recently, Stupidboiii123, a Reddit user, shared his experience after being rejected by his crush who thought he had a small salary. The incident took place during his graduate school days. The post quickly circulated online and elicited reactions from the online community.
The guy explained that he developed feelings for a classmate, and they enjoyed each other’s company during classes and chats. Feeling confident, he confessed his feelings and asked her out after the semester ended. However, she turned him down.
The woman revealed that while she liked him, she had also been considering another suitor. This other man, a colleague, earned between P70,000 and P80,000 monthly from his salary and side business.
She admitted to wanting someone financially stable, leading her to choose the other suitor.
The man took the rejection well, smiling and wishing her the best. Secretly, though, he felt the urge to share that his own salary surpassed P100,000 per month. He decided to keep it to himself, finding humor in the situation.
The guy recalled moments when she had indirectly tried to find out his income. Once, she jokingly guessed it was P40,000, to which he replied, “Secret.” The man refrained from boasting or lying, thinking it unnecessary at the time.
The uploader laughed about how memes he shared on Facebook might have made him seem financially less capable. While he didn’t win her heart, he maintained a light-hearted attitude in handling rejection.
Here is the full post:
“Binasted ako ng nililigawan ko kasi akala niya maliit ang sahod ko
So there’s this girl that I had a crush on. We were classmates on 1 subject (Graduate school), and I thought we were okay kasi masaya naman kami pag magkasama at magka chat. After the semester, I decided to confess and asked her out but she rejected me. She then proceeded to explain na there’s this guy rin from work na nililigawan siya, and she likes that guy too. She did mention na she likes me as well and considered me as a partner but she wants someone who is stable in life na. That guy raw kasi earns 70-80k a month (sahod+business combined) kaya she decided na to give that guy a chance kasi at our age, she’s just being practical. So I just smiled and said “Oh okay I understand. Fair enough haha. Sige, I wish you all the best”. Gusto ko sana sabihan na “100k+ sahod ko per month eh” kaso wag nalang hahahahha. Akala niya ata broke ako kasi sa mga memes na shine-share ko sa facebook lol HAHAHAHA
Edit: To clarify some things, I don’t think there’s wrong naman sa ginawa niya. Ganun talaga, may karibal pala ako eh, so may the best man win. Valid naman yung financial stability as a criteria kasi we’re in our late 20s. She said she likes us both, and she chose someone who she thinks has more to offer so that’s fair. If alam mo value mo diba, do not settle for less.
Another thing, wala naman akong sinabi sa post ko na “puro memes lang shine-share ko sa FB”. I said “sa mga memes na shine-share ko” because I share broke memes from time to time to ward off yung mga mangungutang. Trauma na ako sa mga may utang sa akin at di nagbabayad eh HAHAHAHA. Tangina niyong mga mangungutang kayo, dahil sa inyo nawalan pa ako ng potential lovelife hayup HAHAHAHA JK”
