Is the quote "if he wanted to, he would" true?

On twitter and other sites, I keep seeing women and men post this quote constantly. I've always had to show interest to my crushes first but none liked me back. No one has also liked me or approached me romantically regardless of gender. Could this mean that no one wants me at all, based on the quote?

    'if he wanted to, he would' is usually used in situations where you're already in the relationship with the guy. if you're not actually with someone yet then it's not gonna resonate with you.

    a lot of people don't like being the one who has to initiate the 'feelings' conversation. in both of the relationships i've been in it took months of flirting and dancing around the topic before i finally bit the bullet and genuinely asked them out, and i only ever did it because i knew that if i didn't ask i'd be waiting literally forever for them to make the first move

    • Thank you. Some people on twitter were saying that the context applied in all situations & I disagreed with them

    Depends on the context. If it's about being approached then it's not true. Many people are anxious to approach someone they don't know especially if they like them. If it comes to things like staying in touch and making plans when you already know each other, then yes the quote is true. Even people afraid of rejection and people who are shy stay in touch daily and make plans with someone they want to keep getting to know and having in their life. I'm a shy person and I would never approach someone in real life but i'm great at staying in touch and making plans with someone i'm getting to know, however if it's someone i'm not particularly into then being afraid of rejection among other things is a great excuse to use while making the other person hang around for me to text when i'm bored. I've also gone out with mostly shy and anxious people and they were the same as me. So yes depending on context that quote is true.

    What a lot of people don't realise is, if a man decides to approach a woman and ask her on a date, he's had to do months if not years of self-work before he even so much as offers her a drink.

  • According to some men on Twitter, men approach women if they're interested. Otherwise, they ignore them.

    No. I would say my only fear in life is that of being rejected (childhood trauma, that's all I'm gonna say) in general. I've never approached first or confessed first to any of the girls I've liked despite being naturally flirty and not shy at all. In all the relationships I've had, it was the girls who confessed first. Again, not for a lack of interest, I used to fall in love very easily but well over half of my crushes never had a clue.

    • I'm referring to Twitter posts, not my actual life. I've seen both men and women claim that if a man is interested, he will show complete interest. I disagreed and had people argue with me.

        Yeah, that's what people do on the internet, they argue about stuff. Try not to take it personally. πŸ˜‰

        I see what you're saying as there is always the possibility that the man in question may be shy, or reserved. However, I think a lot of ladies tend to prefer a man who has enough courage to face her, and face the possibility of being rejected. Women tend to prefer courage.
