why are alot of girls on here afraid to ask their crush out?

this is to all the high school girls. when i was in high school i wasnt afraid to ask the girls i like out. they all said no but it was worth a shot. I see alot of questions about what should i do with the guy i like, why isnt he coming up to me. when i was there i went to school with over 1500 people in just 3 grades. so if you crush doesnt notice you wear the cute outfit. it could be because he truely doesnt know you and actually see you. I worked with a guy for over a year just finding out that we were in the same class. so go talk to that guy, dont be afraid to ask the to hang out.

    way to go good thought,BUT look at the age some of these questions come from "HI I'M 12 I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY WHAT DO I DO"good lord some of you kids out there get a life wait till your in High school to get a taste of life.Just think about it 1500 kids in a school or what ever 1/2 are probably the opposite sex and your going to have to do something out of the ordinary to get your Crushes attention and I don't mean stupid ordinary or life threatening

    I totally agree! Girls need to make the first move if they are interested, times no longer dictate that we sit and wait around for him to come to us. I think girls are still thinking by that logic, or they are feeling insecure and are not aware that either way that the guy responds, they have moved things forward, and that is a good thing. The worst that happens, he says no, and then you can at least be sad about it and move one. Endlessly pining and never speaking to him, well that doesn't get anyone anywhere! Besides, all the cool guys love a girl with the courage to ask him out. Thanks for the good post!

    OK, I'm not in high school-- I'm 35 years old! And I STILL won't ask a crush out! Why? Because every "advice" book out there says that men like the chase! They all say that if he's interested, HE will make the moves. I don't want to look desperate.

    I answer this assuming that you are an American.

    In American society, the gender role of the adolescent-adult female is to wait until the guy asks them out. It is usually socially unacceptable for them to ask out a guy, because it makes them look overeager, slutty, etc. I personally think this is a ridiculous gender role; but unfortunately a lot of people still buy into stuff like that.

    Ok well im in high school, 15, and i wouldn't ask a guy out even if i wanted to. I'm way to shy when it comes to guys and that subject and usually the guy asks the girl out. Its kinda like a tradition in the world thats been going on forever. Of course you had no problem and thats b/c your a guy. Now only if this guy i really like would gain up courage and ask me out! lol!

    Source(s): Ya i agree with Sandra L., Sara Bear, rips_and..., and the person above me. I'm too afraid to ask this guy i like out cause im too afraid he'll say no and then the rest of the year will be so awkward.

    Because it is still, even in this day and age, not considered appropriate in most circles for the girl to ask the guy out. (Sorry, I am not a high school girl). Also, we are far more affected, as a rule, by rejection. It's the way of the world, as they say.

    Don't base things on what you get from quizzes on the net!!!! If he knows you like him and has said he hates being asked out then he's probably giving you a subtle hint he doesn't like you that way. Or if he hates being asked out you should just say "That's a shame coz I was going to...." and see what he says from there.

    I know, the questions every 30 seconds asking how to ask the guy out are getting annoying at this point. Just do it, go for it, there is nothing to lose. I agree.

    Some girls can be old fashioned, they want the guy to ask the girl out. Other girls are more afraid of rejection. I know I am, but I still ask guys out. lol. I mean, even for guys, you get turned down quite a few times, and you start feeling like its your fault you can't get a girl. Idk. Thats what my bf was like for a while. that was until i dated him.
