Not necessarily. There's a difference between asking a girl out to a specific event and her saying that she's already committed that night, versus asking a girl out with an open-ended invite and having her turn you down. In both cases, you aren't taking her to the event, but in the former, you might be able to take her out the next night. The non-acceptance of YC is like the former — it's not going to work this time, but you're more than invited to try again next time.
