Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist and relationship therapist, shares five critical tips to build resilience against rejection in dating, ensuring it doesn't feel as daunting. The tips include practicing self-connection and mindfulness, fostering self-compassion, detaching from dating outcomes, enriching your life with positive experiences, and seeking support from friends or professionals. 

These strategies aim to help men become more confident in dating by not taking rejection personally and viewing it as a redirection.
