Cool or Not Cool

Why do guys think that it’s not cool to show a girl that they’re interested in them just by flat out saying it?
I don’t know if this is just a personal thing (or because I’m perpetually single), but most of us girls like to be hit on or told that the guy had a great time (in person please) and would love to see us again. It makes us feel like we are actually doing something right: dressing cute, working out, did our makeup correctly, held an interesting conversation, were ourselves with a stranger, finally mastered the not-so-mean-looking default face, or something else entirely that doesn’t come easily for us.
Now, that does not mean that guys should be demeaning our worth in any way or form or cat-calling at you because that is NOT okay. 
Like leaning into a girl to try and talk to her in a loud room: cool.
Resting your arm on her back and then slowly moving it lower: not cool.
Saying something like “Want to grab lunch or dinner this week? I want to see you again.”: do it.
Texting her something like “My friend’s throwing a party, wanna come?”: meh. Not every girl is going to want to be your party hookup or someone you text last minute. While hooking up may be fun for a short period of time, it sucks thinking that we are the last resort.
It may just be the writer in me and my own imagination creating these ideas that rarely happen in real life, but I just want to know why guys think that it’s not manly for them to show interest in a girl they seem to like?

It’s weird to think how older generations went about the dating scene completely different from what we are used to.
