Anybody here not ask a cute girl/guy out for fear of rejection?

I expressed attraction for a guy who didn't bother to respond.  It hurts, but I am not sorry I did it.  We had been very flirty so I know he was attracted but for whatever reason my asking him freaked him out.  Maybe he'll come around but probably not.  I wish it could have worked out, but it didn't.  I'm not sorry I asked though, at least I know and I'm not wondering.

It's not wrong, if you like a guy, then go for it. I don't know what this guy's problem is, but just forget about him. You didn't scare him away by asking him out. I would never have the courage to ask a guy out. IF he was weirded out, then he's not good enough for you. If probably just wasn't interested, you can still keep an eye out for him, but don't get your hopes up. I would keep my eye out for someone else to ask out too (if I had the courage). I think it's good that you're not waiting for someone else to start your life. Go for it!

I don't think you should be nervous at all to ask for a girls phone number. You should love yourself enough to be able to do it and also to be able to be rejected(because that is probally why your nervous). If that is why you get nervous get over that QUICK! For the sake of your own happiness. No need to fret over some chick-and take that from some chick!! You are the one and only most important person in your life and you always and forever have to put your happiness first before you will ever make any chick happy anyways. And if being rejected isnt the reason then why else would you be scared is what you have to ask yourself.

I don't mind if a girl asks me out. Before you ask someone out you must be aware of one thing that all men know. When you ask someone out, they might say no.

I would recommend that you "make a move".  Some really nice guys are too shy (or afraid of rejection) to make the first move.

yes. The same thing happened to me. I told myself I could dream about him all I want, but once i ask him out and he says no, i no it's over. But, i do still dream. LOL.

Money and looks will only get you so far... Be flirtatious, partake in interesting hobbies, and show your self confidence without being cocky. You need to take the initiative as well... don't be afraid to ask that girl out on a date!  Have no fear of rejection. Everyone gets rejected and it's part of life. Also, don't be CREEPY... hard to define... but enjoy your life... talk to people, smile, look girls in the eye, don't be shy... that's all I can think of right now! Good luck!

Most certainly is not.  We are in the new millennium now not back in the 1600's, so anything is pretty doable today.  Actually a lot of guys nowadays are too shy or feel awkward to ask young ladies out because they are just as afraid of rejection as the young lasses.  So my advice is for you to go for it.

Some of us guys just aren't confident enough around girls, especially if the girls are "intimidating" (really smart, really beautiful, really popular, etc).  They're afraid of the answer "no" because of our pride.  Then again there's also usually guys that don't care, and go around asking every girl they like out, so I'm sure there's plenty of those at ur school as well.  Personally if I like a girl, i let her know.  But maybe if the girls let the guys know they're interested in them.....maybe they'd start asking girls out at ur school

i think its because we are all afraid of rejection or being used.as a woman i feel like it would be desperate of me to chase a guy , and my guy friends make jokes about girls who moon over them , even if she is just extra nice when they are around.

Yes, when I was in high school, there was a girl who liked me.  She would call me "hot" all the time.  I found out she wanted to get with me, but I was too nervous and timid about what other people thought.  Plus, I didn't think I deserved her (low self esteem all throughout high school).  So, yes, I regret not getting with her.  I was unsure about my sexuality then and still am now. I often wonder what might have happened if I would have voyeured w/ her, sat under the stars w/ her, held her close.  But, we never did any of those things except in my mind.  But, she is married now and lives in another state.  Now, I, am in love with another friend of mine but don't plan on telling her b/c of fear of losing her/rejection.\n\nWhy do you ask? Have you rejected someone recently? Sometimes, the brain does know better than the heart.  My brain is always on though and never knows when to turn off! I just want my heart to open up every once in a while.

isn't it terrifying? guess what, THATS WHAT YOU EXPECT US TO DO!!!!!! thats why women made it up that guys are suposed to ask you out because you chics are way too fragile to deal with the rejection. tough crap sweety. ask the dude out and if he says no then take the hit and move on like any guy would do. it's a huge blow to our ego to be rejected but we cope. so if he says no simply say "thats cool." and keep on with the conversation. wow thats tough isn't it?

Being a guy, I can tell you it doesn't require a manual to do so. Make sure the guy doesn't have a girlfriend already and ask him yourself. Most guys are too nervous to ask girls out, so take charge and ask them. Nothing fancy. All it takes is "Will you go out with me" and most guys are like melted butter in your hands.
