How???

How are you going to avoid rejection? E.g. You really like someone and you don't know if he/she likes to be more than friends with you?

You really like somebody and you don't know if that person wants to be more than just friends with you? There is no guarantee against rejection. You have to take a chance.

All we can do is try. Then we can try again. Then it is time to move on . . .

Right.

And be ready to be rejected...
I've got a friend who always tell me to expect the worst so that when bad things come, he wouldn't get so disappointed. And when there's good outcome, he would be very glad.

I can understand you very well. If I was you, I'll zip my lips. I mean I'll never tell him anything. I prefer to keep crying.
It's too embarrassed. ​
