Why They’re Afraid To Ask You On A Date, Based On Your Birth Month

This is why everyone is afraid to ask you out on a date, based on your birth month.

January

Theyโ€™re intimidated by your success.

If you were born in January, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because of your success. They are terrified they wonโ€™t be impressive enough for you and are reluctant to ask you out as a result.

February

They donโ€™t think youโ€™re interested.

You come across as a little aloof if you were born in the month of February. As such, people who would ask you out donโ€™t because they donโ€™t think youโ€™re into them or would say yes to a date.

March

They honestly canโ€™t tell if youโ€™re into them or not.

If you were born in March, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because they canโ€™t get a read on you and canโ€™t determine if youโ€™re into them or not. They can never tell if youโ€™re actually flirting with them or just being friendly.

April

They fear they wonโ€™t be able to keep up with your energy.

If you were born in April, theyโ€™re afraid they wonโ€™t be able to keep up with your zest for life and that the date will go terribly because theyโ€™ll disappoint you by being โ€œboring.โ€

May

Theyโ€™re afraid they arenโ€™t witty enough for you.

If you were born in May, theyโ€™re afraid they wonโ€™t be able to deliver on the flirtatious banter they know youโ€™re seeking. They think youโ€™re incredibly quick and are positive they wonโ€™t be able to keep up and will say something stupid and look silly as a result.

June

Theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because youโ€™re a bit standoff-ish.

If you were born in the month of June, you tend to come across as a bit cold. Youโ€™re not the most approachable at times and this makes it hard for people to approach you and ask you out.

July

Theyโ€™re positive youโ€™ll reject them.

If you were born in the month of July, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because theyโ€™re just positive youโ€™ll say no and that it will be super embarrassing and painful. Because of this, they avoid asking you out at all costs.

August

They think you want to stay single.

If you were born in the month of August, you give off major independent energy and this makes people think youโ€™re not really interested. This makes you get a little overlooked when it comes to dates because you donโ€™t seem interested in romance.

September

Theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because they think they wonโ€™t live up to your standards.

If you were born in the month of September, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because of your high standards. They know you only deserve the best and what you want and theyโ€™re fearful that they wonโ€™t be able to deliver.

October

Theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because they donโ€™t want to lose you as a friend.

If you were born in the month of October, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because they donโ€™t want to jeopardize your friendship and risk making things awkward if you were to say no. Or, worse, theyโ€™re afraid things would progress for a while but then would blow up in both of your faces. They would rather have you in their life as a friend than nothing at all so they think this is the best way to keep you around.

November

Theyโ€™re intimidated by your emotional depth.

If you were born in November, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because of your emotional depth. Everything you say is poetic. Your interests are deep. You donโ€™t know what it means to tread lightly when it comes to your feelings. Because of this, they arenโ€™t entirely sure they can match your emotional energy and donโ€™t ask you out because of this.

December

Theyโ€™re afraid theyโ€™ll bore you.

If you were born in December, theyโ€™re afraid to ask you out because they are absolutely convinced you will find them terribly and unbearably boring. They donโ€™t think theyโ€™re interesting enough or funny enough or good enough for you. So they stay quiet and keep their feelings to themselves.
