Why would a guy not go after a girl he likes?

At a high school reunion, two guys confessed that they didn't try to date Lynn because they were afraid of me.

You're better off and maybe above all most are better off not knowing why. If I told you it would ruin the fantasy myths you believe in about happiness and bliss.

He’s a shy chicken.. if you like him ask him out yourself eh?

several reasons...lack of confidence...already knows she is not interested...she is committed to another...one or both have a lot of drama\baggage and dont want burden other with it.

For me, it's a timing issue

He is afraid she is not interested in him?

Intimidated

women are frightening

Beauty can be very intimidating
