Its not that new (the NG article is Mar 2011), but thanks for posting!
So does failure, insults, let downs and separation.....suck it up, it's just life.
I'm 26 years old and I've never had a girlfriend. But I've never felt pain.
Yes; it sucks to be rejected, but you'll get over it.
I do however feel nauseous when I'm in love with someone
Do we even need research to show rejection hurts? What's next? Research shows couples in love are happy? You know how you feel that's what matters.
