U know I believe that, just can't do it....I think it's the Southern raising that I was brought up with that makes we sit back and wait for the man to make the first move....Now with that said, after our introduction, all bets r off and I am on my game.LOL

thumbs up same - not from the south, but an older generation & a conservative culture - I have no problem asking a man to do something wiht me if I've known him awhile but I am not comfortable with the possible wrong impressions of making the first move and I really think that people should not be forced out of their comfort zones just to date - that should be a choicewine and it speaks to style - IDK that I'd be happy w/ a man who expected for me to make the 1st move

I agree with you and Buffy 327

But these days there are so many mixed up messages going around in the reality world ....

I know , I agree and that is why I said what I said about a person's comfort zone.

we seem to live in an anything goes world, makes it more important to identify and stick with what is comfortable for you. I don;t think good relationships thrive well when one has to go outside of their comfort zone when they do not want to

then we second guess ourselves - at IME

and that i fine, I guess, for women who are OK with it. I think a woman can give off subtle vibrations or signals that make her approachable, but ya, as I've said - I don;t think too much of a guy who won't take initiative to at least start a conversation

my belief about men is that "if he's interested, he will make the first move"

hey babewine
so youre saying if you saw a drop dead gorgeous guy smile at you then go back to his conversation (which could be work related)..n then he glanced back over his manly shoulder at you, you wouldnt go speak to him?


























just clarifying if youd be a good girl to go drinkin withlaugh

I agree Felixis, but different strokes for different folks I guess. Growing up, Girls did not chase boys at my house and U better not be caught calling them up on the phone...LOL... Now I have raised three fine young men, and that is certainly no longer the case. I do know this much from watching my sons, they tend to keep the lady they pursue, and not the ones that chase them.....cheers

Lots of mixed up messages ,,, by men about women and vice versa ,,

I dont need to waffle on as you probably already know ,,

I walk in a pub with friends ,,i must be seen to be wanting to tap off like the rest at the bar ,,{no im part of the band }

Then you get an offer ,then when i dont bite ,,i must be gay ,,

Just cant win with SOME,, not all ...

Its nice just to talk to people in the reality world instead of acting like a juvenile virgin ...

IMO


handshake

Im sending 2 bunches of flowers ,,bouquet bouquet

Give one bunch to Buffy

thumbs up I agree once again. Men like to pursue

there are times when they like a woman to be assertive - it can be a little bit of a cat & mouse game this dating stufflaugh

but all in all I think men like to pursue - doesn't mean we don't have our way of letting them know the pursuit is desired thowink

Many people are sheep and are incapable of actual thought.

If you like something - go for it!

If you can't do something because you were taught something growing up and now you're 50 lol and it still makes no sense- ADAPT!


When you were a baby you grew up wearing diapers- its a wonder some of you aren't still wearing them.

thanks, love flowers! yes, I've had the old "must be gay" response if I turn down an offer too, but I take it lightly - I'm sure it was a joke

and I've been turned downdunno even when i was NOT the one to make the first move- so none of us gets it right every time

think of it like basketball Johnn - more ya shoot the more ya scorerolling on the floor laughing

well not sure it's a good idea to tell others what to do. perhaps it's best just to find someone who thinks like you do becasue I completely disagree - but that's OK I 'm allowed tolaugh

yes, why not .

Why shouldn't women open doors for men? why shouldn't we send a man flowers, why shouldn't we surprise our boyfriends or husbands with gifts or a planned evening out all expenses taken care by us. Its not about being the iron clad miss independent woman , its about being human, giving back just what we want for ourselves.
After all we fought a long time for equal rights so why now be equal in everyway.
So yes, I see absolutely nothing wrong in approaching a guy and introducing myself if I am interested dancing grin
