I had a crush like this in hs. She was like the most socialist of all butterflies and was popular and stuff, and at the time I had like zero self esteem so when she literally came up with her friend and point blank asked if I liked her I was too afraid to say I did. It isn’t the same as being approached but I do think a lot of guys just don’t think of themselves as worthy of that. Maybe that’s just me though idk. I still think I harbor that feeling subconsciously though
I always put myself out there, actually I am most likely to approach the guy if I like. I don’t hold back cuz I am super social and I can tap about anything🤭🤭 I even ask guys number and give mine if I really like them but they don’t text or respond me that much even if I text quick idk
Wdym ‘who says’? Nobody, that’s just… how language works. Like how you can’t be a tall dwarf, or a biped with one leg, or an expat who never left your hometown. And if you’re approachable to women and intimidating to men, well, that should tell you something useful; whether you realize it or not, you’re treating them differently somehow
I loved ur answer! But Honestly? I don’t treat anyone differently 😏 If I like a guy, I give my shot life’s too short to wait around for the first move of a guy. I just ask their number or give mine (did it twice and have been ghosted) So yeah… apparently I do my part, and if it’s not reciprocated… well, that’s their loss 🤷♀️ Approachable to women, intimidating to men? Huh… maybe some guys just can’t handle friendly confidence 😎 Not my problem they’re the ones overthinking it.
I couldn’t conceive of it at the time but she probably was. She was very nice to me, made a point to talk to me, similar to what you’re describing. People are still capable of seeing you even if you aren’t. I appreciate this post, I think this is a topic that we should really discuss more openly, I think that would be good for a lot of men.
Yeah, from my own experience it’s not easy for girls either. If I have a crush, I get so nervous, but if I go out of my way to talk or make the first move, it means I’m really interested and making an effort. Sometimes I feel like that might even scare guys off, I’m not sure. But I totally agree with you next time, just give it a shot buddy 😉
