Yes, and here's why:

There is absolutely NO sense in getting hung up over one of the BILLIONS of girls on this planet rejecting you. You can move on and be PROUD that you did your part and gave it a shot. You went after what you want... found out she's just not the one for you, it's just not meant to be - so move on.

The alternative is you DON'T go after it and you live with regret... always wondering what would have happend if you had just asked her out.. wonderin if she would have said yes.. wondering if you guys would have ended up getting married...

That is the worse game. Rejection is a TEMPORARY suck.. it hurts for a bit.. but you get over it pretty quick. Regret is a LONG TERM suck.. it could haunt your mind for weeks..months...years...
