Search Results: afraid of rejection

Why are you single?

I'm single because....

- Age is important to me. Most people believe age ain't nothing but a number, but I honestly want a guy who's my age. However, I mostly approached by guy who are 2 years older/younger than me.

- I'm not trying to have sex right now.

- I don't get out much.

- I'm to scared to tell a guy how I feel. Like, I need to be reassured that he's into me before I give it ago. Clearly, I'm afraid of rejection.

- I often chicken out when the opportunity approaches.

- I'm picky about the little things on a guy like his Nose, Fingernails, Fashion Sense, Hairstyle, Tattoos, and Weight.

- I want a longterm relationship. I want to date for about a year or two and then I hope to be proposed to. Then we'd marry and have kids. All of this would be before 30. For most people, thats too soon.

So thats why I'm single. Why are you?

Basically, I live on the same floor as him and have kind of avoided the issue until now because it's the end of the year and if he wasn't interested, it would have been uncomfortable. However, this guy is just generally really nice and I'm having a hard time determining whether he likes me, or is just friendly.
As of this semester, we have a lecture together and he always sits next to me. After class, we walk back to the dorms together and eat lunch (sometimes alone, sometimes a mutual friend happens to be there). He always seems interested in what I have to say, and remembers small things about me that I forgot I even told him! Neither of us is very talkative, but when we do talk he really gets what I'm saying and we can discuss events and ideas and stuff like that.
It seems like he stares at me a lot, but that might just be something he does normally. There's also a lot of "accidental" body contact.
He can definitely be friendly with other girls on the floor, but as I can't really hear what they're talking about or see any body language I don't have anything to go on there. There was gossip last semester about him and another girl, but nothing ever came of that. He seems like the opposite of a womanizer tbqh

I'm really bad at reading signals that mean that he likes me. I'd ask him out myself but I'm deathly afraid of rejection (and have an anxiety disorder) and would like to be really sure that he's interested before I put myself out there like that.
**I'm adding a poll just for fun because why not?
