Why do men get scared of making a move on women? (Page 2)

Question

Women with whom they’ve been friends for years and flirted a lot with? Do they just not see you that way, do they fear losing a good friendship? What’s the story? I’ve heard of this happening to other women, it happened to me once and I’m genuinely puzzled.

AmeerX · Answer

I almost never beat around the bush. I always told what I felt. Good or bad. I am not good with flirting but I say my words straight away. A little too direct. Only 1 time did it get awkward.

Still don't regret saying how I felt.

BLP11520 · Answer

Well it depends on the two people involved I suppose I had female friends who wanted to date and I didn’t

Texaskid1 · Answer

As per the #metoo movement... if a man "makes a move" on a woman it is now considered sexual harassment and the man is labeled a creep.  So men no longer make moves.

OddBeMe · Answer

Because you b*tches are so vain initially, demanding movie perfect men of right height who say the exact right thing to sweep you off your feet. Life ain’t scripted.

summiter · Answer

They should not but usually it is lack of self esteem or confidence

You know, because of the #MeToo stuff. Also, some women, not all women, are downright mean when they reject guys.

I didn't do it, until I knew for sure she was into me, and that I even said "we should finally kiss", and she's like "yeah, with a giggly smile"

the_sinner · Answer

If the friendship is very strong and if certain boundaries are set in the friendship then it gets a lot harder for the guy to get past those barriers and change the relationship status from friends to lovers.

Anonymous · Answer

Women tend to take for granted that men will approach them or make the first move, assuming men don't have the same insecurities and fear of rejection that prevent 99.9% of women from ever taking any initiative on a man they like.

DexWest · Answer

For me? #MeToo. It’s a risk I won’t take. All it takes is an accusation. That’s not a risk I want to take

alootamatar · Answer

It is because guys don't want to be labeled as creepy or pervert by girls.

Trust me it is more true than you girls think.

The second reason might be that they fear that, rejection might break their friendship.

iLeak4BBCnwhitegirls · Answer

Because of modern porn propaganda. Don’t you feel more attracted & crazy for a luxurious black satin leather skinned monster c*ck? Luring a morally correct white woman into a feral state of lust & sexual desire she hasn’t felt before?

FunkyMonkee · Answer

What they're afraid of (besides losing a friend) is the rejection.

Because they don't want to get rejected (or look like creep) and then have to hear the woman say, "No, I'm not interested, but thanks for asking!"

Why should they? I guess it is a lack of confidence.

They've already deemed the relationship to fail before it begun or don't want to make the effort but enjoy the fun flirting.

Tiger288 · Answer

Cuz of metoo movement. Girls can lie and make guy in trouble without doing anything and still believe girls over guy anytime

Anonymous · Answer

I mean I don't know why men have to make the first move 90% of the time anyway I think this question becomes fair when it's men and women making the first move 50/50 as of 2023 I think you should ask yourself and other women the question
