Why do girls never tell you they like you?

haha I remember the last time I told my friend I liked him more then friends
cuz I was confused with the stupid hints that he gave me.
it suckss! but I guess I didn't really learned my lessons
cuz I'm still not afraid of telling guys I like em' but I became afraid of rejections!
oh well it’s a part of life, so honestly I just don’t take rejections seriously
its easier to live like that :D lol

but yeahh ur right SOME girls usually gives so much hints but doesn't
really take the next step but hey MAYBE if you guys stop giving us
mixed signals or if you guys really worth it we would actually take the risk! :P

well I had some bad experiences with that. when I was a teenager, I wasnt scared of telling guys that I had a crush on them or that I liked them. but every single time I did that, I was rejected. it was funny because I never said that before I had gotten many hints and signs from the guy. I wouldn't just tell a guy I like him if I didn't think he was interested in me too. but it seems to me that they freaked out when I said it. it was that is kinda stupid and probably immature, but that's how it happened.

after a few rejections, I just felt very insecure. that totally ruined my confidence and now I can't do it anymore. now I'd rather give the guy hints (like starring then looking away, making jokes, etc). that opens the way for the guy to make a move if he wants me. but if he doesnt, it's not so embarassing for me because I have the benefit of the doubt.

hope I helped.

Fear of rejection is the main reason. Young women aren't bold enough to put themselves out their due to lack of confidence. And another thing is because guys like to show out in front of their dudes so they put on a big ass front and try to act like you're just another girl on their list.

It's because girls aren't turned off by a guy they like coming out and putting themselves on the line. We're actually turned on by that. But guys are different. They like the chase. Guys are more likely to be turned off by a girl coming out and saying it first than we would be if you did it. It's just instinct.

if I felt that there was a good chance he felt the same way then I would possibly let him know.

heh. I don't know, I guess as a girl I feel like I am seen as desperate if I am the one to make a move. I currently am in this situation- I really like this guy, and most likely he knows because once I got drunk and basically told everyone but him that I like him, and he was there, so it prob got around to him. We still hang out and I can't tell if he's flirting with me or not! It's so annoying. Thing is, if he DOES know that I like him, it's free reign for him to MAKE A MOVE, right? If guys get nervous to make the move because they are afraid of rejection, he should have nothing to worry about! He already knows I like him! :-(

I beg to differ , but then again what do I know. If we are speaking on PRIDE and lack of it I'll be honest and say I have a BAG full of it. I have hinted a COUPLE of times ( in the past) that I have liked someone , but it never worked out. I have even gone as far as sitting a person down and explaining how much I adored them , but still didn't work. I hate to be the bearer of bad news , but MOST guys my age just aren't up for any real challenges. And not to say that liking a guy / girl is or EVER should be that hard , but its gotten ( for at least me ) that HARD. I'm not sexiest so I'll say that while I agree with you a part of me is still on the fence. Females are always putting their selves out there , but what's the point when you get to the point where you start feeling drained? And this is all based around JUST LIKING SOMEONE. You start weighing your options and then the smarter choice reveals it self to be just sitting back and relaxing and seeing what MIGHT happen. If I knew a guy were willing to meet me half way I would TOTALLY put myself at risk to nurture a ''possible'' relationship, but I don't want to gamble and come back completely empty handed . So I'll just assume this is what we call the GAME OF LIFE.

Yes they would but the thing is that like you said we are just too scared of rejection.Which happens to most of us which sucks because we really really liked the guy.In my case I told all the guys I liked when they were in a relationship at the time I know you don't do that.But now as I grow up I see that the guys that are single are coming up to me more all flirt.But yeah next time one comes around I'm telling him so yeah thanks!.

There is nothing wrong with a girl telling a guy she likes him!
It really doesn't have any effect on whether or not you like her, right?
Either he does or he doesn't

But if you do, that would make you feel REALLY good!
I know I would feel good if I knew a girl that I liked liked me back!

Yeah, I think we guys are sometimes dense when it comes to picking up on girls' signals too!
