They are afraid of rejection.
I did outside sales for a long time. The job entailed going out and knocking on doors and making phone calls all day, every day. If you hustled, you could make good money.
Anyways, every so often we'd get a new guy who wouldn't go out, or pick up the phone. He was afraid of being told no. So he just never asked. Those guys lasted only 6 weeks or so.
They just would never get it that sometimes they say yes, too. The best hitters in baseball hit one out of every three. That means 66% of the time they miss. Just get over it.

Ehhhhh rejection isn't too much of a problem. I grew up in a different environment with my dad being an entrepreneur. He was told no quite a bit and he always taught us that no is the beginning of yes. Just keep searching.

EXACTLY. You should keep getting 'No's" until you feel creepy asking, and then ask one more time. If you don't push, you aren't trying.

I beg to differ. I know a guy who, whenever we go clubbing, tries it on with every girl, and although he's pulled some real fitties, he often has to try and try until it gets kind of -blam!-y. Now everyone kind of thinks he's weird and he has lost loads of friends. Just saying, better to play it tactical than go all in every time and loose big.
