Pluralistic ignorance refers to the phenomenon where individuals believe that others do not share their thoughts or feelings about a particular situation, leading to a lack of action or inaction. In the context of beginning a relationship, individuals may believe that their potential partner is not interested in them, when in reality the partner is waiting for a positive cue as well. This can lead to a missed opportunity for a relationship to form.
