If we're dating its another story. But yes, many times if we aren't, regardless of her "seeming" interest level, I will be afraid of making a move or to many moves for fear of her thinking I'm clingy. Many girls are also just flirts so it waters down the dating pool. As a guy it has become hard and next to impossible at times to discern the difference between a girl who likes you, is being friendly, or is just flirtatious by nature or seeking attention. I personally have been burned many times because the girl was giving me clear signs of interest (that others also pointed out), only to find out she really had no interest in me. In other words, a girl who shows genuine interest in a guy get's lost in the mix of girl who exhibit the same behavior but for less than genuine reasons. So yes ladies, by constantly flirting with guys for attention, you're only hurting yourselves when you are in the market for a boyfriend.
For me it's hard to tell if a girl is into me or not. I feel like a girl is being friendly and smiley, that could very well be all it is. If I made a move assuming she liked me, I wouldn't want her to be less friendly and open to people just because she thought guys might take this the wrong way.
I guess I have to be pretty convinced a gal likes me and read more into body language.. Does she act a little goofy around me, blush a little when I look her in the eyes, look bashful when I give a compliment, there's quite a few things to look more into.

Yeah, some guys are like this. Mainly because they've had a lot of bad experiences, or they don't have any confidence, or are the types who are just dead afraid of failure or making an ass out of themselves that they just give up before they ever even try. People with social anxiety might also be this way.
That's the short of it at least.
Fear of rejection. Sometimes you don't really show that you're interested/like the guy back also.
answer mine please? link
yes I never actually make moves on girls. I wouldn't know if a girl likes me. unless she asks me out on a date. I just think she wouldn't be attracted to me. I just can't tell if a girl is being friendly or likes me that way. I wouldn't want to ruin that friendship. plus I wouldn't know what to say to her.
with me I wait for girls to make the move. just haven't got the confidence to make the move. just very girl shy.
I can only tell if a girl likes me when I'm not interested.
I used to be scared to look stupid.so I never made a move.if she wad already mygf then I would only be scared to bore her
Its never really really obvious she liked me. Girls aren't as clear as they think.
the only reason I would be afraid to make a move is that she turns me down.
im bad at understanding body languages at times
in my mind we are both just having fun
