[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women do make the first move, it's just not the actual "would you go to dinner with me?" question. We are throwing a thousand "moves" your way that you absolutely pick up on and that is what enables you to ask us out. Society trains us (both men and women) to play this game. I personally like it. It's fun as hell. If it stresses you out, then maybe you need to build your confidence.[/quote]

YES! I've made the first move many many times.[/quote]

Subtle moves like touching the arm or asking out?[/quote]

Of the three men I ended up in longer relationships with:

1) Asked out. 2) Confessed feelings. 3) Pulled out a condom and jumped the guy. [/quote]

So relationships can last long or be successful in which the woman is the initiator[/quote]

Sure. If you don't mind initiating and planning every single thing for the rest of the relationship because he's passive and risk-averse and wants you to do it for him.[/quote]

When you have the guts to make the first move you also have the guts to speak up and ask your man to plan things, and if he doesn’t, you also have the guts to walk away and find something better.[/quote]

Of course, but is it really that appealing to go through all that? You could just date someone who takes initiative without being hassled into it.[/quote]
