I think it's a combination of both fear of rejection and simply just not being that into someone. If a guy is very attracted to you, chances are hes also intimidated by your stunning good looks or fabulous personality. He may have a hard time approaching you because he is scared of rejection. I think girls need to give guys breaks sometimes and make the first move (even if its just a hello in the elevator) to show them that they just might have a chance. BUT men still should follow through and do the asking...its a guys job right? 11  out of 15 found this valuable. Do you?

I don't think it's the man's job. Nor is it the woman's.

It just needs to get done by someone! There are all kinds of reasons why men don't approach women they find attractive--from fear of rejection, to disinterest, to a bad day, to believing she's taken, to totally missing her signals that she's interested in him. In researching my book Grab Your Tiger: how 110 Women Made the First Move to Capture the Men of their Dreams I found that 3 out of 4 men miss a female's flirting signals. The point is that SOMEONE needs to make that first move.

I totally agree. People can decide once they meet if it works for them. Somebody needs to get off the pot. Why not women--at least half the time? Do you find this valuable?
