I guess the poster meant more as in how biologically speaking men were hunters. I mean I can see it in the dating scene, where a guy brings a girl flowers or pays for the date. Generally men propose as well. A lot of guys would feel very weird if it were the other way around.
But I agree with the majority of the other posters don’t think there’s anything wrong with a woman telling a guy how she feels as long as she guards her heart and doesn’t go overboard with it. Same thing with a guy, I honestly find it annoying when a guy continues to pursue a girl after she’s rejected him. Simply telling a person “I like you” is a lot more sincere than reading your diary out to them ha ha.
 
Its not an easy question to answer as to why but one reason can be a social construct thing. Another reason could be tribe mentality from ancient men hunter gatherer mentality. You also have to remember men took females as slaves or married them in times of war. Not to mention competition where a lot of guys try to pursue a girl where as a female wants a compatible partner to procreate and have kids with. She also wants to feel protected. At the end of the courting process should a women propose to the man? As Jesus looks after the church we as men also must protect the dignity of women.

there’s a difference though between having an honest conversation (like many mature people in relationships or friendships do) and actively “pursuing” someone. telling someone you like them isnt necessarily pursuing or making a move. sometimes its just being honest
 
I would try to gauge why he seems afraid first.
Eg:is it because he’s been hurt before,is it because he doesn’t like her back,is it even because he’s gay,is it because he’s traditional and perceives her as too forward etc…

In these cases when the girl likes the guy but he thinks he and the girl are just friends,isn’t it 99% of the time the case that he doesn’t like that girl romantically?

In my experience,when a guy likes a girl he’s not shy to let it be known,or at least someone else will know like his friends.
 
I really don’t like the mentality that some men have about the pursuit of the chase and “competing” against others guys because once he has “won” and “got” the girl then what?
Ie:would he then become dissatisfied in the marriage or relationship because his game of “hunter” is now over?

Generally,I don’t think it’s a problem for a woman to make her feelings known to a man,but at the same time,there are things I would feel are “weird” such as if a girl bought flowers 🌹 for the guy on a date lol.
