    Thanks for lining it out so well.

    There’s a good shot that she’s into me, but if she’s not, I’ll either die of embarrassment or I’ll get bullied by their whole social circle.

    Add to this that men usually are not as socially comfortable as women, and you kinda understand it why this happens.

      This happens to women too. The embarrasement is real and the societal pressure to not be seen as a slut is everpresent. Playing it safe is a popular strategy no matter the gender.
