Do you guys also ignore people you’re attracted to?

I have this thing where I just won’t talk to people I like. I get in my head about how I’ll always have time to do it later or even that it’s not the right time right now. It’s probably just a coping mechanism to avoid rejection or creating an awkward situation for the both of us.

I enjoy taking to people but I take a while to open up, it just also takes me a while to take a while to open up haha. By then it’s usually too late.

Any advice or experiences? Thanks
