Some people are afraid of rejection. Some people get embarrassed too easily. I understand that it's all a part of life and people have to just move on, but there are just some who can't do it. I mean, sure they will be curious on what the other person would say, but to them, they feel it's better not knowing than going through it and feel stupid afterwards when they are denied.

I HATE it when guys aren't ambitious!!! I mean just DO it!!! It won't kill you!!! Have confidence but don't get all huffy if it isn't the answer you want, if it is, then congrats!! It's not like a life or death decision!!! C'mon you guys!!! Jeepers! What if the person you have your eye on is too shy, but really does like you, and you've never asked him/her out? WHAT IF?!!?!

Guys get "huffy" because to be honest (and please don't take offense guys) men are very afraid of rejection (at least the ones that I've been studying). And not only that, but it tends to be that teenage guys who are usually the ones who lack the confidence they need to ask the person they like out. They're afraid of rejection a lot. But besides that, a lot of guys get all nervous whenever they encounter a situation such as this because they're afraid that the girl might be "out of their league" or might say "no" and don't want to go through with it.
