Except being in a relationship, of course.
This is somewhat related to my previous post… In my case, I was thinking “he seems like a pretty confident guy, maybe he’s not making a move cause he’s not interested”.
Maybe he looks more confident than he actually is, but I remember during university that guys would just do the most random things and say whatever and just make a move…
I think there’s no point in making a move myself
Thinking “she’s not interested anyway” (I’m a terrible judge of intentions and err on the side of caution). Though I doubt many people would confuse me with someone who is confident.
Also, handling rejection can easily ruin my day. It’s hard to move on from that if you don’t have any positive experiences with asking people out to offset the bad ones.
