    Most of the time were already judged just from looking 😂. We either get labeled a creep or perv or something along those lines

    Then if we do approach, it usually gets met by a girl who doesn't want to be spoken to.. and more judgement and labels (seems a lot of girls are literally unapproachable these days)

    Try do that 5 times to 1 who will actually talk back.. and you would know why we hesitate or think twice..

    I kind of understand the girls side... She gets looked at constantly where ever she goes, and gets over the amount of guys chatting her up or trying to get in her pants.

    I literally feel as if.. she's seen me look now a couple of times I've given a little smile and eyebrow raise... If she's feeling interested then she can come say hello.. that way there's no shut down and labels.

    Sad but this is the age we live in unfortunately

    Some people are very lucky in life and some people are destined to be people, but the situation is different for me. Can you please help me? I have no hope left in life.



    I've always been alone, I've never had a friend, I've never had a girlfriend, and I've never been in love in my life. I studied with bad people in high school and university. Spoiled people who use everyone for their own benefit. I'm 22 years old now. I look hopeless towards life and I'll be alone for the rest of my life. I'm sure, God, there are a lot of people for those people. Why didn't he give it to me when he was presenting it to them? Those guys beat the girls and cheat on them, but then they lie to the girl and she trusts his word. But I would never do that, if it got cold in cold weather, I would never hesitate I would give my coat or my jacket or my cardigan, I would always be with him. Why did God curse me with loneliness?

      Hey Emma, ​​I want to ask you something, what would you do if you were me? No matter how hard you try, you will never have a friend, you will never have a lover, you will pray to God and he will not answer you.

    1. You've got something on your face.
    2. They're admiring but not interested.
    3. They're interested but not available.
    4. They think they'd look better in your outfit than you do.

    (There's more... but as you can tell the range of reason will differ based on the actual guy.)

    Simple answer because they don´t know how to approach. A guy has to self confidence and the knowledge of what to say and how to approach a girl but as many guys don´t practice approaching they avoid that challenge altogether to not have a bad experience.
    So they prefer to stare from a far as that seems safer.

    kind of like back in the days when you went into a store, look but don't touch.
    Possibly because maybe the have approached in the past and were read the riot act and figured it just isn't worth it.

    Any number of reasons they might be looking, but they're not going to approach without a good reason to do that specifically, and most of them likely don't have one.

    Why are they required to approach you? Just because they stare at you? That makes no sense.

    Cause we don’t want to get labeled as a sexual abuser if the woman gets the ick.. it’s almost not worth stating either because nowadays men can be labeled an SAer just for looking.
