True or False?

As demonstrated by the many questions on the subject on this site, some guys are either pretty bad at making the first move (shy/nervous), don't want to put you in an awkward position (when dealing with a co-worker, long-time friend or student) or may think you're taken/not interested (you hang out with millionaire playboys, or he has bad information). And every guy has frozen stiff and acted like a complete moron around a cute girl at one time or another, self included.

I'd suggest you ask him, rather than wait. At best, you'll have a date. At worst, you'll be rejected, and he'll feel flattered that you asked.

He either is a very shy boy or he will drop major hints, and wait for her to pick-up on it

False.

Sometimes that may be the case, but it's certainly not definitive. A lot of guys tend to wait until they are completely sure that a girl is into them before they actually ask her out. Doesn't mean that he didn't like her for a while before then.

I think the quote is misconstrued, though. The author isn't saying "the guy doesn't like you if he doesn't ask you out", I think he's saying "he doesn't like you ENOUGH for you to seriously consider dating him, if he hasn't asked you out after a while. "

That's not necessarily true. Some guys are too intimidated to ask out the girl they like. So, he might like her very much and just feel powerless to do anything about it.

False sometimes guys are totally clueless they may like a girl but think she's not interested so don't want to screw things up or make everything all awkward

Nah, I don't buy that. It's an oversimplification of a more complex process. Things like reciprocal flirting, intentionality, shyness, timing, cat got your tongue, etc. Aren't addressed. I've asked out every girl I've been interested in, but not necessarily on the perfect schedule or time line. I think if you add "probably" to the quote then it becomes true, but it doesn't fit every case.

For the most part it's true. There's something keeping him from asking you out. Whether he's shy or just doesn't know you or something. He's not asking you out for a reason.

Don't worry about that reason, just wait for the guy who has it together who does ask you out. And who knows. If you give the non-asking guy some time, maybe he will ask you out.

Flase. From personal experiences - some guys are just shy or just plain clueless. They need a head check to know they should ask the chick out even when they do really like a certain girl.

Probably true, but also it is false. Some guys are really shy and don't have enough guts to ask you out. So, it really just depends on the guy.

Thats not true. Some guys are shy and are to nervous/embarrassed to ask the girl that the like out. Or to afraid of rejection that could ruin a friendship.

I believe that. Unless there is some really obscure reason (like he'll be leaving the country in 2 days), then generally that is true. Men are fairly angular. If they want to do something they do it, if they don't they don't.

Based on my experience, it's true. As much as guys say "Oh he's shy" "He's afraid to ruin the friendship" or any other excuse other than "he's not into you", I don't buy it. Either he's not that into us or he has a girlfriend. OR he just likes the chase, playing games but that's another issue.

Take a recent personal experience I used to compare:

There's one guy who has given me every indication he likes me, very straightforward flirting and pretty much gave 'hints and intentions' of wanting to ask me out, yet he never did. Despite KNOWING I liked him and would go out with him, he never asked me. Hell, I even told him lets hang out sometime, call me. He never did.

Then came guy #2, met him on a Sunday, talked a few times and by Tuesday he asked me out. I don't like him like that so I didn't accept but you get my point? He liked me and asked me out without going around and around the issue and complicating my life.

I believe that if a guy likes you, has real interest, he will ask you out. There's no reason to string us along. If he doesn't ask you out, he's not really interested. Or like I said, he has a girlfriend (or wife, or wants someone else).
