The first move. (32)
allthegoodnamest: Do you think men should make the first move as far as messaging is concerned .
Let's face it the ratio of men is much higher and does that give women the advantage.
In my personal experience women don't have any qualms about being the first to make contact. In fact I have never initiated contact and thoroughly enjoy women's independence and bravery in this area. This is after all the 21st century and women have never been so strong. Good luck.Let's face it the ratio of men is much higher and does that give women the advantage.

On the one hand girls get bombarded with messages on dating sites and he needs to stand out from this background flow of attention she receives. On the other hand what's attractive to a woman about a man making the first move - the display of confidence - doesn't count online. There is no courage or confidence in sending online messages - no points just for having a go.
I think who approaches who matters less than in the real world and it's the quality of your message/picture/profile which matters the most.

Yes i Agee.
Thats the difference between online dating and the real world.
Generally most relationships start as friends either through work or a social meeting place.
I can understand women being cautious but unless you get to know the person you can't be too judgemental.

I find , personally, its not the looks , confidence,money or power that make successful relationships its the trust which can only be gained through time.

You can call me old fashioned if you wish but I'd prefer the guy to make the first move.

You sure raise an interesting topic. Which brings me to comment on the messaging and/or whatever method is used to attempt electronic contact. One of the problems I have noticed here (on CS) is some of the women complaining about being contacted. You know, I've said this before, but it bears repeating: Why join/belong/put up a shingle, so to speak, if you do not wish to be contacted? I will boldly say this, as well--if you belong to a social media club, you have already made at least a tacit, if not specific invitation for notes and letters. My reasoning is that if this is not what you want, then why do you belong to a social club, anyway. I believe that it is fair to write to someone, and if they don't like it, then don't belong. JMO (to answer the question, although it is somewhat traditional for the guy to make the first move, I do not believe that is an absolute, for the current times).Let's face it the ratio of men is much higher and does that give women the advantage.

Hi DJ!
I always send a flower to any message I receive (unless rude), just as an acknowledgement of thanks for the message.

one of the many things about you that I love--it costs but a brief moment, and has the capacity to brighten someone's day. Why the heck not? You go, girlfriend...

U only messages two women,no replies and u gave up?
In real life do u ever talk to strange women?Do u ever ask them out ?
Or u only asked one out and u gave up ?
London is full of lonely women,or women seeking companionship.
I am sure Connecting Singles is full of them too.
U need to start sending more than two messages until u get the woman u fancy to settle down with.
