Are you completely foxed by his behavior of late? You were so sure that he was going to ask you out this weekend after all those looks, smiles and attention, but he has disappointed you by not making a move in your direction! Don't fret! Take a look at these tips to know why he is not making a move.
He's biding his time
You got to be patient. Even though it felt like he had the "hots" for you and it was only a matter of time before he asked you out, the truth could actually be something quite different. He could be waiting for the right moment to ask you out. The right moment for you may not necessarily mean the right moment for him! Therefore have patience.
He wants to be certain of his feelings for you
It could be because he really wants to make sure that he cares enough to get into a relationship with you. He is one of those guys who do not hang around or date girls just for the fun of it. This is a good thing actually, because if he really loves you he will make a move on you sooner or later.
He wants you to take the first step
The fact that he is afraid you might reject him and break his heart is what is making him hesitate asking you out. This could also mean that he has had bad experiences in the past and is now a little wary of making the first move! He is going to just wait and see if you like him enough to take the first step.
He's slightly intimidated by you
A lack of self confidence would make him think that he is not good enough for you. Even though he likes you, he prefers admiring you from afar! This is a pity because he might miss out and lose you in the end. If he is even slightly intimidated by you he would be afraid to make a move on you.
He does not have the confidence yet
You will have to wait and see if he is worth waiting for. Unless and until he is sure of himself and has confidence in his abilities to attract you and get you, he will not make a move on you. He will first check for signs and signals that tell him that you like him too before he takes the initiative.
He is in the habit of procrastinating
Men who procrastinate are the pits! Putting things off just make the whole situation that much worse! If he is the type to keep putting off asking you out or letting you know that he likes you, you are not to blame for losing interest. However if you adore him no matter how much time he takes, try giving him a shove in the right direction.
He wants to get rid of past baggage
Have you heard of the old adage "Once bitten twice shy"? Well he could be one of those guys who have been badly hurt in the past and are scared of getting into any relationship. Give him the time he needs and make him see that a relationship with you would be different. However, he would have to deal with the past first and only then he would have the courage to move on!
