28 comments

1. I got cold dick.

2. Nothing

3. Restraining order

4. Them having a boyfriend usually.

5. I was going to ask my wife out to go get some pizza at a new place in town, but she beat me to the punch and wanted a steak bowl instead.

   Tomorrow I’ll have to be faster.

6. Just because i like them doesn’t mean i want to date them

7. Was able to find the main reason for asking her out. Got clearer thoughts after let’s say self procreation activity

8. she told her friends (including I) that she didn’t want to start a relationship with someone in her friend group to avoid losing friendships or causing disputes…

9. Pride. For some reason I didn’t want to show I liked her

10. I had a nagging suspicion that the attraction wasn’t mutual. After a few years, I discovered I was right.

11. Fear of rejection

12. Timing, either whenever I got the confidence to ask she revealed she started seeing someone or when that fell through I had been dating someone for a while.

13. I’m scared as shit

14. When I was in my teens. No game. Older, just kind of knowing we were moving in different directions life wise.

15. Couldn’t get her to stop looking at her phone long enough to ask her out.

16. She’s 2D.

17. My girlfriend

18. I just never liked anyone enough to wish to try a relationship with anyone.

19. I was going to ask out a friend because I genuinely thought we had that kind of connection. I thought of a way I felt was respectful and to make it clear in no way was it something I expected or required for us to be friends. I seriously was moments away from asking then she started talking about how much she hates Weird Al. As if he is R. Kelly level of awful. I love Weird Al. He taught me all the wonderful ranges of beauty music can be. If he wasn’t her thing that would’ve been fine. But once she said she hated him all I could see was all the different ways were weren’t compatible.

20. if I never make a move I can maintain the delusion that it’s still possible.

21. Lack of confidence. Once you’ve been insulted a few times, you eventually just stop trying.

22. In most cases, she already was with someone at the time.

23. Being a pussy

24. I like plenty of people. If I asked them all out it’d get exhausting.

25. The fear of rejection

26. the friendship group she and i are a part of has been instrumental to my boost in mental health lately. i dont wanna make things awkward in that circle

27. Mostly being sure the feeling isn’t mutual and not knowing if I’m actually romantically interested in her.

28. Self esteem issues and deep seated emotional trauma
