Best Answer

Reluctant is where somebody does not really want to do something, but may do it anyway. Being hesitant is pausing before doing something, and not being sure about it and could do it with caution. The differences are not much and they can be used interchangeably. You might say "I am reluctant to do that" or "I would be hesitant about doing that."
