I dont understand why a guy asks around about you but doesnt approach.

Guys has been made to feel that if they approach us we will make false claims of sexual abuse and harassment so guys in general don't seem to approach, etc. in person anymore.

Because women refuse to ask them specifically.

Ask yourself: "I dont understand why I ask around about others but don't approach them."

Turn the question around sometimes. The answer might be turn back on where it belongs.

Fear of rejection, doesn't know how to get in contact with you, lack of confidence.

Have you rejected him in the past? Maybe he's reliving it and that's why he's scared...

Trying to see if you're single, if you have any red flags. If he doesn't approach it's something he found out.

Probably waiting for just the right moment.

Check your pepper spray .

He wanted to find out

1) Are you REALLY into fish fry?

2) What kind(s) of fish?

3) Pan or deep-fried (and, if the latter, what oil)?

4) Is this primarily for fish-and-chips?

It's a lot of running around! 😉



ok Seriously, maybe he's trying to figure out what you like to ask you out on a special date...?

Afraid of rejection

Society has made it difficult for men to approach women. Because some will say it's creepy. So we wait for some kind of acknowledgement that our approach will be well accepted

1) Fear of rejection

2) He is shy

3) He found out something awful about you.

4) He had a duel with another suitor after you and lost, and that other suitor is (also too) shy.

Probably lacks self confidence to approach you
If you like him., ask him why

Afraid of getting rejected. Protecting himself

Maybe who he asked said you was taken or a problem.

He’s working up the nerve

Simple
Very shy

just walk up to him and ask. while grabbing his 📦.

Girls, we can't have it both ways... we cannot expect guys to suddenly present themselves in our presence in some noble sort of way, when women won't show even a cursory interest in guys who look her way for fear of being raped at gunpoint at high noon while she's on her lunch break.

The problem with western culture is that it still carries way too much British Colonialism at it's foundational core, which is like using animal lard when you bake cookies because your great grandmother always did.
