How come you guys fear rejection? especially if you never had a girlfriend before or you are ready emotionally and mentally to get married ? and you want to approach or call a woman?
Do I fear ? nope. if the guy doesnt want me , then shame on him. he lost out on something excellent!
You men if you like someone or you just want to get to know a woman , call her to see how she is doing or ask her out. if she says no 2 times then move on... and sometimes if she starts to think hmmmm then she will approach or call you. cause u got her thinking.

Some guys like me fear rejection b/c we are always looking for the girl that is like us in many ways. We look to find a girl who likes to do same things of us or just likes our personality. Then we find the perfect girl and you try to speak to her and its like you just........melt. You fear that she wont like you or you wont be good to her. and you will loose somone who could such a good friend. Thats why many people try to be friends before going into a romantic relationship.

Men Fear Rejection

Personally I don't think it's just men. It's woman too, and if you look at all the products they sell to make men and woman more appealing to the opposite sex. It's just that fear of rejection. Most people fear that so much that they don't even try, which is really sad. I think this generation of man has been raised to not take as many risks. Because of that they miss out on really making a connection with an amazing person. But at the same time woman have changed as well, and have asked that the playing field be leveled with men, which for some men is really intimidating. So I do agree men need to get used to rejection, because you can't learn anything if you don't at least try. Hope this helps.

The fear of rejection is can come from being hurt deeply before, for being sincere with someone who wasn't sincere themself, in the first place. Also, low self-esteem & being shy can cause a fear of rejection. You are strong & assure of yourself...which not everyone is like that. It's so easy for anyone who is comfortable in socializing to easily open up their heart. Insincere individuals can easily roll the 'I Love You' off their tongues. But anyone, and not just guys, who absolutely takes matters of the Heart seriously can't easily come out with their feelings, let alone approach someone confidently. Fear of rejection is when you think so highly of someone or overwhelmed by their great good looks that you feel like you may be up against impossible odds, of succeeding with that potential female. Or fear that you may not measure up to what the female is looking for in a guy. Sometimes it can be fear of commitment.

The first thing that you have to learn as a guy is to thrive on rejection. However, since the common cultural expectation is for the man to make the first move, we have to put ourselves out there all the time and it is sometimes difficult. As we get older we do learn this and it becomes second nature, and we have been rejected so many times that it doesn't bother us very much.

Many people fear rejection on some level, that's one reason many women still won't make the first move on a guy...
It's quite normal to dislike rejection, but the only people that get anywhere are those that get beyond that and go for it anyway.
Many men don't "fear" rejection (they just don't like it) so your question should've been "Why do some men..."

Men aren't the only ones who fear rejection. Everyone does, no matter whether or not the say they do or don't, subconsciously, people fear such things. Women fear rejection too. That's why they cry so much when it happens.
People want to be accepted, it's just in our nature.

I think us men fear rejection because of our egos. I like to think i don't have one but i guess in reality everyone does to some extent.

It is the feeling of embarrassment in front of other people, his friends, your friends. If this girl is one he sees on a regular or semi regular basis such as school, work, the store, neighbor, then he may feel that she will always look at him and and think "I cant believe he tried to ask me out." I know that sound ridiculous but for many men this is true.
