Shark shy
When a woman becomes wary of random men that ask her out after meeting in social situations. Typically seen in single, attractive, childless women over the age of 25 that live in conservative places with a large gender imbalance like Houston. This happens because the women are hit on so much when young all social situations feel like being dropped into a shark tank. A major difference in views on sex from the northesterners and west coasters that move there for work causing the gender skew makes them wary of all men.
I would date women my own age, but they're all shark shy. A random woman my age started talking to me about my bike near the dog park yesterday. She was smiling, and I got her to laugh at a corny joke. I asked her if she wanted to meet for a drink Friday, and she froze up. She started being awkward and walked away. She seemed normal, but she must be shark shy.
