What makes a guy hesitant to show interest ?

Because men are damned if they do damned if they don't. If a man shows interest in a woman and she doesn't reciprocate those feelings he's a creep or a perv. God forbid the interest was in a co-worker, now it's sexual herasment.
Bloody hell it's just easier to stay celibate and play it safe and easy.
Of course, I never do anything safe and easy.
Who hurt you?
That's a story for another day or should I say another forum.
I've just seen it back fire on too many fellas.
Not to mention too many training sessions. Manly because of the guy in the White House. Oppps he did it again.....Because men are damned if they do damned if they don't.

Yeah, he went right to the finish. You gotta let it build. There's gotta be some conversational back and forth. Give and take. Just like at a good meal, you don't start with dessert. He saw the appetizer and went right to the chocolate death brownie.
She wanted the truth, and I just told it. No need to beat around the bush.4 -
He was showing interest then he wasn’t ?
Lol I’m sorry but it doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out
On to the next one honey

Don't waste your time trying to figure out if a guy likes you or not, if he's interested you would know.
Lol no i moved on

Have you showed this particular guy any interest?0 -
1 - he's not interested
2 - he's shy
3 - he's not sensing that you're interested0 -
Maybe because they’ve had a crisis of confidence?
It’s probably not, but I know I’ve sabotaged a few budding relationships by convincing myself that it’s a sick joke that they like me and backing off1 -
I'll try to answer this without letting a few bad experiences of my own come into play, or having it colored by the current cultural narrative and/or president, but it will be difficult.
(But not really because it's impossible to know whether or not those things have anything at all to do with the situation presented, and I'm just not a big fan of blaming my personal foibles and experiences on others because at some point I managed to progress beyond puberty.)
My guess, if he showed interest before and then stopped, he likely either found someone else he was more interested in, or he saw something there that outweighed his initial interest thusly causing it to wane. That's about all that can be assumed without more detail on both sides of the "relationship". I mean without creating a bunch of paper tigers like "OHNOES TEH WIMMINZ ARE ALL SO MEAN!!!!11!!1one!!!1!" If we go that route there's tons of assumptions to be made.

Years of rejection and feelings of inadequacy?3

I agree with the whole "if he likes you, you will know" theory and here is why...
When I was dating a few years ago I met this guy online. I thought he was cute and was really excited about him. We messaged, we exchanged numbers, and eventually went out on a date. The date was kinda of "meh". I didn't like him anymore. When he texted or called, I kept the convo short and sweet. I showed no more interest. It's not that I was nervous or feared rejection. I wasn't shy or in another relationship or working too much or whatever. I wasn't interested.
Don't spend time overthinking it. NEXT!0 -
Yes it's what Steveko says, fear of rejection is almost always the case.0

Lived by that philosophy trying to carpe that diem through most of adolescence trying to out-kick my coverage with the girls I crushed on. Years of getting brushed off takes a toll on the ole self-esteem and you start to think harder about wanting to take that shot. Eventually, shot selection and execution improved. Thank god I got married when I did; trying to be single now in the Tinder-era sounds awful.4 -

I agree too. But some people are not self aware enough to figure this out. Or delusional.1 -

If a guy likes you he’s making it known ..Maybe because he's just not that into you.
Guys who want me try to get in there. Guys who don't, don't call back.CoffeeAndContour wrote: »if he's interested in you, he'll show he's interested in you.
Okay but he showed interest and then backed off ?
Some people just like sharpening their claws on others.0 -
