Fear of Rejection
While everyone fears being rejected in love, this fear tends to be stronger in girls compared to boys. To avoid facing rejection, girls often refrain from making the first move. Rejection can be a shock for girls, and it may take them time to recover from it. To avoid this emotional setback, many girls hesitate to express their love.
Fear of Heartbreak
In addition to rejection, girls are also afraid of experiencing heartbreak. They worry that if they initiate the relationship, the boy may not value them as much. He could threaten to leave or simply say no. To steer clear of these fears, many girls avoid confessing their feelings first.
