Quoting Oogway from Kung Fu Panda: "You are too concerned with what was, and what will be. There's a saying. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift! That is why it is called present"

In other words, just because a girl rejected you, that doesn't mean you should make a big deal out of it. Openly shipping oneself with a fictional is (what I assume to be) a side effect of this. Especially if you are in a fandom that is abundant with such people and content.
