Why r men so scared to put themselves out there? In general a lot of people are but it makes it so hard to date

Sorry for not making this a reply but I wanted more women to see this. Especially point #5 since it seems a lot of women just expect men to ask them out. Every guy I know doesn’t ask out their crushes because they’re too nervous to do so. I’ve only asked out one of the many crushes I had and that was because we were friends and she made it unbelievably obvious that she was into me. Just because no guy has asked you out does not mean that there isn’t at least one guy crushing hard on you

(i’m a woman) and i had to ask out all of my ex boyfriends despite being extremely scared of rejection because otherwise literally nothing would have happened. kinda weird to think about.

Women also just don't want to be bothered and I can respect that

Also in my opinion it just seems useless like it wont go anywhere

i don't understand the last one. wouldn't it make more sense to like be open about your feelings instead of keeping it inside? and if they say yes then great, and if they don't then take time to move on.

A lot have given up because dating IS pretty crap right now. Most relationships come from dating apps which as shown through many discussions on here are absolutely horrible for men and then there’s social media where a lot of other relationships form. Neither of the two options listed previously are conducive towards a good relationship and asking somebody out in person takes a lot of courage. Dating for men (especially dating apps) is basically psychological torture as it has ruined men’s

Mental health. It’s a cycle of constantly being rejected and ghosted which is a major cause for depression in men which would make them even less likely to ask out women later on because they’re too nervous will view it as a waste of time where they will only be rejected again

It’s hard but also something to work towards. I’ve had to do that as well. I hate dating apps too and tried to be approaching or being available in person

As a woman I just don’t want to make things awkward. I feel like it’s obvious that I’m interested, so if a man doesn’t reciprocate I assume he isn’t interested. I think I’m in the same boat as you are thought wise.

Maybe but I’d rather try than not

In my experience if I talk to some woman even if she isn’t interested more often than not they are very delighted to hear it. So even if it doesn’t go anywhere, I feel good knowing that I made someone feel better about themselves even if just for a bit

Same and I honestly didn’t even think anything of it until after the fact

I think a lot of us could use more experience just talking to strangers..that’s a good way to do it

With women it’s a hit or miss but the miss can hurt and not all women are nice about being asked out.

Why do you think they’re saying no

We’re almost all really dense when it comes to picking up on people flirting with us or trying to make it obvious that they like us.

I remember reading some statistic a while ago (so I could be totally wrong here) that we can only accurately tell that someone is flirting like 25% of the time. So it makes sense honestly

Yeah, you might as well flip a coin whenever a lady talks to you, better odds of knowing

Most of the time I get it, but I feel I can be obvious when talking to someone. Like the guy I’m interested in currently, like bro I am holding your hand when talking to you. Other than that I’m like idk could go either way.
