    You have a point where many girls expect to be pursued. I think more should try going for what they like, definitely. But never making a move for the reason you gave doesn't make me think this was that mentality sound of a decision. It sounds like either part of you really wants a living relationship or you like the pedestal you put yourself on. Why such extreme measures over a girl you fell in love with after knowing 3 months? You hardly can fall in real love within that time frame.

    All guys should stop making the first move or asking girls out. Just to see what happens. Humans might go extinct

    Truthfully I think it’s a bit silly for why you stopped making the first move.

    I rarely ever made the first move and when I did, it failed. The very small number of girlfriends that I have had all asked me out.

    It's not good to rely on the other person to make a move, but it's also a sign when it's only you who does.

    I have always made the 1st move with dudes. Most of them tell me I should not make the 1st move.

    Honestly if I saw you in a crowd I would make a 1st move.

    For women ( the more you get rejected the less and less it hurts. So don’t be afraid to try to make a 1st move there is a 50\50 chance you will get rejected.)

    I beg your pardon but it sounds somewhat bitter, right? Women I know feel good when approached by an attractive male, which you say you are. Maybe you could look to changing the way you are choosing new partners?

    Haa, my ex made the first move, then I had to do all the other moves, until I went nuts and stop seen the relationship the same way.

    Initiatives coming from both sides makes a strong relationship. When you are the one proposing and trying to make things more exciting, that's bad enough.

    The reason you don't make a move is because you're afraid to. Women most likely don't even notice, that's just something you like to tell yourself to make yourself feel better about being a pussy.

      Not necessarily. I no longer approach girls either, but there was a time where I approached pretty much any girl, anywhere, at any time.

      Now I don't bother, but it has nothing to do with fear.

    Well to be honest most dudes wouldn’t make the first move if they didn’t have too, women have the option of making the first move or not and they usually don’t because why do all that work and risk rejection when you can be on the other side, dudes don’t have that option, never been asked out never will, so I do the asking out and now I got a rad girl, dude just suck it up and ask women out stop your weird protest and just find a girl

      I've thought about that and if I missed that perfect person she's way gone by now. And if she's still around she will make the first move or she was never the perfect one, to begin with.

      Sad but true. The ball is on their court, I do not play basketball anymore.

    You must not be that good looking or you never leave the house. Girls hit on me regularly. If im out the house a lot at least 2 or 3 girls will talk to me per week. Id certainly not be single the rest of my life.

      Yeah. The second part. I barely go out anymore. I've lost all interested in the dating life. I am at a point where everything happens for a reason. I have become a private person due to my actions and being a private person is actually the type of person I was meant to be and love to be.

      And you're still whining about a heartbreak from a decade ago. Grow some balls man, toughen up a little francis. ;)

      Its fine if you don't want to date, or are too fragile to date, but don't blame it on the women - they're just going to continue to be who and what they are - that just ain't gonna change. So you either play the game to win or you take your bat and ball and go home.

      You need a better understanding of why women do what they do, so go here and read:
      www.therationalmale.com

      Everybody gets their heart broken at some point - EVERYBODY. It's part of the learning process. You get back up, dust yourself off, and go try it again. At least that's what normal well-adjusted adults do. They don't go whining about it on a internet forum. :)

    What a loss! I think us women could do without an entitled guy such as yourself. Getting angry because hot women don't fawn over you doesn't make you very attractive no matter how hot you think you are. Women might be attracted to your exterior but once they discover your personality, they'll be gone in less than 3 months

    I am not sure what i just read. I don't care who you think you are, but expecting women to make the first move may just be a waste of possible partners. I am afraid to show interest first because of how a few guys perceived tgat in the past.

      Most girls wouldn't make the first move for 2 reasons:
      1. You're the man, you should have the balls to do it. If you don't have the courage to speak to a girl then when do you have courage?
      2. They are afraid as well.

    I was to 95% the one that made the first move. And trust me in that way: I am incredibly shy, because I’m scared. As well all are: rejection.
    But if I really like someone I have to risk it.
    But I’m glad that men have problems with it, since I always wonder why the men I met never made the first move. Thinking they didn’t really want me or something..

    I’m on the exact same page as you. Won’t be asking any girl out nor putting up with her demands. Want a boyfriend come get us.
