This is not true. He may be afraid of rejection.

It does not make you look desperate. It makes you look confident and it shows you know what you want. So if I guys asks, that can mean the same thing, double standard?

No, I had a GIGANTIC crush on one of my coworkers. I won't go into how awesome he is...OK I will...he's Ivy League, physically fit, cute backside, multilingual, world traveler, loaded awesome. LOL He blew me off with a line about wanting to concentrate on his business.

He did and was pretty successful. He asked me out after I got married.

I guess I've been used to the "guys are hunters" mentality. And plus my friend just got turned down by a guy she really liked and she's was really bummed. I don't want the same to happen to me.

Then honestly, he's not someone I want to get involved with. If I, as a woman, had the guts to approach a guy and give him my number, I expect men to do the same. Nobody likes to get rejected, but it's the courage and confidence in a man that makes him stand out in my eyes .

But if men are the ones that are "supposed" to do that, how do you think tht makes them feel? A girl they really like turns them down, and they're really bummed, and other guys see that and they don't want it to happen to them? Are we just "supposed" to take the rejection? Without putting up a fight, without speaking up? Or is it more okay for men to be snubbed than it is for women?

So it was too late then. You probably ended up with a better man anyway.

So what if you get rejected. Men have to go through this.

If he knows I am interested and he doesn't ask me out right away, I take that as a rejection and lose interest pretty quickly, on the order of a week. I don't invest emotionally in people who are not interested.
