Why are there guys that are clueless and gameless interacting with girls?

Question

Why does a guy not know how to make a move even when a girl makes it obvious that she likes him?

Answer 1

Because the sexes are different, and it takes guys a while to figure out how girls are different from boys. 

Answer 2

In my (plentiful) experience

girls are NEVER obvious.

Yeah, I'm by nature ignorant in that regard, lacking in that "skill".

I just don't pick up on so-called hints and clues...

at least, not ***until several years later*** (true story, several times repeated).

Here's obvious:

- "Hey, I'm interested in you romantically."

or

- "Hey, why haven't you ever asked me out?"

Anything less than that

is NOT obvious to me

and I *am* going to miss it

and

by no means am I the only guy to suffer from this same particular form of block-headedness.

I'd guess that about half the guys I've known suffer from the same "condition".

Answer 3

We get nervous sometimes. It's normal. Stay single if you don't want to deal with it.

Answer 4

Insecurity. Fear of rejection. Have a bit of empathy. Why don’t you help a few of them. Do something heroic instead of plssing around on here.
