Would a man be nervous because he knows she fancies him and he doesn’t feel the same way?

Generally you just don't notice women like that exist unless you're horny. Then you just don't think about having a relationship with them. It isn't anything to get nervous about. That would imply liking them to get nervous about it.

If you don't care, you can't get nervous.

Nervous around women I don't like? Never heard this idea before. If you mean 'don't like' in the literal sense of serious dislike, I don't get nervous but I can feel somewhat awkward, because I can't stand her guts or being around her. But if you mean 'don't like' as in not attracted to her, I definitely don't feel nervous, no. I don't feel anything. She is just another person to me.

I don't think so. But not all guys get nervous around a girl they like. I don't get nervous around a guy I'm interested in.

Why would I be nervous of a woman I don't like? It seems to be a feminist trope that men are intimidated by women and it is a nonsense like all feminist tropes.

If a woman seemed like she liked me but I didn't like her I might think it awkward but that is all.

Yep. It's repeated on this website so many timess by feminist women. I've never been "intimidated" by a woman in my entire life. And certainly not nervous around a woman I dislike.

[RavVid]

@Wraith_Cemetery Indeed.

Honestly, I rarely get nervous around women regardless of the circumstances. I did meet Princess Di once and got nervous but I can't think of any other time, except maybe for interviews

[Billlewis]

Because women in general make guys nervous. Whether or not I'm attracted to her is irrelevant, because regardless of the circumstances, she always has authority over me, and most of the time, I do whatever she says.

Back when women threw themselves at me I got nervous around women I really didn't want for fear they would also throw themselves at me and it would be weird to reject them.

[serious]

Well if they don't like the woman then they will not be nervous, in fact they will try to avoid that woman.

[Levin]

No, the opposite is true. I only get nervous if I'm attracted to her.

[KezHarris]

What if he’s suddenly nervous and acts like he has to leave?

[Anonymous]

Yes. It's more than nervous... I don't even want them near me or acknowledging me because I'll snap verbally and physically very quickly on them. I'm referring to White American women. It goes back to when I was a toddler, but my experiences traveling the country in the years since haven't disproven what I've come to know as my personal. fact-most of them are snakes and can't be trusted at all. It's hard to describe... like a volcano that's bubbling... the feeling when they're near.

[ProbablyClueless]

The only times I've ever been nervous around women are when I get the distinct feeling that they don't like me.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, that's not the case, we're nervous around girls your age who makes us go bonkers hahaha!!!

[clampfan101]

There’s many reasons for someone to be nervous or not around the gender they fancy. The only way to know for sure is to ask and hope they’re comfortable enough to tell the truth.

[Iron_Man]

I think they’re nervous around women that they do like

[NathanDavis]

I don't, neither...

[DarkLegacy]

Lot of redundant questions on here tonight.

[KrakenAttackin]

No. If we don't like a woman we just ignore her.

[Evie77]

I've got two words, job interview

[Jennz6]

No, men don’t get nervous

[Slim57]

Yeah I'm quiet around anyone I don't know well
