So I tried to kiss a girl I've known for a long time last night. Got rejected. Hard.

I've known this girl for around 4 years and we occasionally sat in class together but there was never any real connection outside of school. Last night, we were both at a party, getting pretty slammed and having a good time. I tried to move in for a kiss but she just averted her face and pretty much up and left.

I know making mistakes makes you stronger and whatnot but for the past few hours all I've been doing is replaying that scene in my mind and I just feel like kicking myself in the head. Probably doesn't help either that we have a lot of mutual friends who will undoubtedly hear of what happened last night so I'll have to deal with that as well in due time.

All in all, I really don't feel like getting back out there again so what I'm trying to ask here is how do you cope with rejection? How do you build your confidence back up?
