Search Results: is he just enjoying his single life

My best friend is 23. This coworker of his is around our age. He told me how since the first day of work she started conversations with him about stuff and he enjoyed it the friendly conversation. She trained him and also they worked together. They work the night shift at Target. He started working at Target about 6 weeks ago and about three weeks ago at the end of work she asked him if he would be ok with picking her up from her home the next time they go to work since her car is being fixed and if they can carpool together since she doesn't have a ride. She also told him that if she doesn't get a ride she would have to come on her bike to work. She doesn't live close to the Target. My best friend made up an excuse about how he can't do that. He was nice to her about it.(My best friend isn't a bad guy, he is really nice). She seemed to not be upset at him after he told her he can't but she obviously was because at the next day of work she talked very little to him and weeks have passed by and she is still talking very little to him. He told me the true reasons why he didn't give her a ride is because he doesn't like having passengers in his car because if an accident happens and the passenger gets hurt, he would feel responsible for the person being injured (he would feel guilty) even though if the accident wasn't his fault. Also, he doesn't want to wake up like thirty minutes earlier than usual to pick her up since it is already a hastle waking up really early for the night shift. She lives like twenty minutes away from the target. He lives 10 minutes away just by going by street. Another reason is (although it isn't the main reasons). is that his car is not good. Everytime he drives to work he risks it breaking down in the middle of the road, but he risks this, since this has to do with work. She wasn't asking him to give her a ride every single time from now on. She just asked him if he can do it for that one day since her car was being fixed but he is afraid that she will keep asking him for rides in the future if she needs them in the future.

Like for example if a woman likes a man and acts on her feelings by pursuing him, and he kind of backs off in a shy way, knowing at that time, he had fear of being in a relationship out of maybe not wanting drama in his life, if the relationship didn't work out... how often do you see a woman would still continue to win him over just to prove to him that she can be a suitable mate to him? She would of already gotten over him, knowing if she would continue to hope that he opens up to her, that would be beneath her cause she wants to feel like a grand prize. (Which I disagree)... But if I'm wrong about there are some women who do win a second chance at wanting her male crush, then give me a story.

Guys on the other hand if he pursues a woman but she wasn't interested in him at first cause she thought all he wants to do is play games, but still he didn't let that stop him from winning her trust, then all of a sudden she changes her mind about him and from then on they became a couple and get married.

After what I just said, does this means men need women more than women need men? Like men have to have women just to feel happy in complete in society, but women on the other hand don't need men, women just feel like having a man in her life is just a bonus.

Me as a guy I feel like having a woman in my life is a only a bonus, as long as I have friends and family that care about me and a great job to support myself, then there's no way I should feel like I'm miserable... regardless of how many people will tell me "dude you need to get laid" I won't live my life base on their opinion. If a woman is single and enjoying life, you never hear people tell her "girl you need to get laid", and to me that's a double standard.
