Did they stay this way or come into a more protective or dominant role eventually?

That guy is me and I've had a bunch of girls basically hunt me down and break through all of my barriers.
I know you're asking girls, but I've asked around this question as well for my own purposes.
Reason being, that most girls assume a shy or bashful guy cannot be the "traditional masculine role" if she is shy. So girls avoid the guy, because most of the time, that guy won't ever stop being shy.
And that is what I've heard from girls. A shy guy = no go because he will be weak and shy in the relationship.
But it was never that way for me. I've always been super confident once I'm dating a girl. It's something about having 100% assurance that she wants me. And so I know that, I do what I want. I lead. I play the masculine role I guess except I'm not playing I'm just being my true romatic self with her.
So I can do it. I would be shy and then rock her world behind closed doors.
But, according to what I've learned from girls, usually a shy guy is inexperiencedand doesn't know how to give girls what they want.
Yea, exactly lol. That assurance means everything to me.
And I think that has not changed. What has changed, is how much I need to know or see from the girl, for me to be 100% assured.
Once upon a time, she had to at LEAST kiss me. Now like... all she has to do is hover near me too long and I know she wants me lol.
Now I feel the energy women put out. Like a fucking laser beam right into my face. I couldnt see that shit whatsoever years ago.
I guess how much info a guy needs, how well he understands women's attention getting tactics and such, determines how shy or how long he will stay shy.
Some dudes never stop. You date the guy and he's scared to kiss you.
I dont think it means anything about him whatsoever unlike whaf girls on here say, about how a man must do all this chasing and confident assertiveness and whatnot. I think that shit is some BS.
Girls are screwing themselves by avoiding guys like I was. I was always a good boyfriend lol. Had great relationships i dont regret any of them.
That's how it feels I swear!. The smile, the eye contact, and something extra and undetectable mixed in. I dont know what I'd label it as. I was always blind to it before, but now I feel it very intensely.
Some girls are surprisingly aggressive in a passive way if that makes sense lol.
The way I see it, women need to wake up and realize they are in control. I'm not chasing, competing, or stepping into a role unless I'm wanted. I'm definitely more about giving than taking, but I don't toss my gifts into a narcissistic black hole.
Sadly, most of the guys I got with I was the one who mentioned I liked them first. The first guy I dated, I was actually the one to ask him out. After he asked if my best friend liked him though the day after, I said never again. This was in middle school.
Now I wait for the guy to ask, but I do have to influence them a little to do it 👀In the relationship I'm in now I usually come up with ideas for new dates, and although being in this position is what I prefer (I'm usually smarter than the guy I date), I feel a bit insecure about it and the guy I'm with now seems to love me more when I take the feminine side of things.
Hunt for a man? I don't chase no man. Besides if he doesn't show up or doesn't want to be part of my life that's fine there will always be someone who will. It's too much energy & work but I will tell anyone that if they want someone go for it, they can take the chance and see what happens. Personally, i don't chase after men. They're the hunters. There are plenty of men around.

Girls are said to initiate first with body language, to encourage guys to make the first move.
Thus the saying "He chased her until she caught him".
I have a little bit but I feel more comfortable in the passive role
So my guess is you would never ask a guy out
Lol that describes where I grew up 😂
It’s like a normal Friday or Saturday night.
@coulis can you imagine some Blue Anon Virgins out in Newcastle on a Friday night.
@coulis 😂😂
Dang 😮
So who are you going to knock in the head? 😗
I think i can take you on. 😋
Ahhhhh!! Thud.
Lol.
Yes and it will never happen again.
These same men will never stand up for you.
He was a few months younger than I was and we were about to graduate high school after a year of dating each other.
He was old enough to leave for his dream college and would almost never stand up against his parents because of their strange disapproval of me.
Instead, he blamed me instead of them.
His mom and brother would never confront me, instead they would aggravate him. This is how immature they are. Then of course within the last few months, he would always talk about how he doesn’t “deserve” me and that someone else better than him is going to have me. While we were still dating! And just a month before that he was asking ME for gas money! He conned me into moving in with him and just assumed that it would be fine when his parents were already in debt. Not my fault that he lied.
This is just guy code for “I don’t want you, but I’m not going to tell you up front” because if they still want you, they’ll make it known.
“It’s not you, it’s me” is also another classic line. He eventually dumped me after I moved out like I expected, but made up several excuses that didn’t even pertain to his familys’ issues so it sounds more like it was on his behalf instead of theirs.
He just didn’t have the balls to confess.
Well I can tell you his parents strange disapproval was just the fact that they viewed you as a distraction from his studies.
That's pretty much all parents at that age right before University College whatever you want to call it.
The lines that you mentioned about don't deserve and all that stuff I've usually heard those from not shy types who just found another girl that they want to get with. I'm sorry his he was so douchey I'm sure you will find somebody that deserves you.
He maintained A/B honor roll throughout the year so being in a relationship with me wasn’t a factor. In the beginning they were nice, but something clearly changed.
Either it was them regretting their decision to let me live with them or maybe their brother was jealous. Who knows? All I know is that it’s behind me and I’ll learn from my mistakes.
I knew I should have followed my gut instinct to dump him before I got tooninvested.
*Grabs popcorn*
let's see what the ladies have to say :)
I noticed she's knocking an arrow with an edged hunting tip, instead of an inverted ❤️ tip. I'm not sure I'd want to be anywhere near her established firing resolution 😭.
A case of 'bashful guy'? No, but a case of 'huntress', that I have. I don't feel masculine, when approaching someone. It is always worth it.
It is but a choice
Can't call him prey. Romance is mutual. It cannot be one sided.
Hmm I wouldn’t call a man you’re hunting for romantic prey. That’s sexual prey. That usually ends up in the same way.
My dating strategy is:
Making the woman easy to hunt me.
I've been hunted by ladies for that purpose before, I liked it. It did not worked out in the end, but it was nice journey.
Used to in college lol
Prey?
You will kill him and eat him?
That sounds pretty uncomfortable
What's the obsession with being dominated?
You realise a female deciding to let a guy she is banging come inside of her and then have an abortion by the morning after pill necessitates misogyny as self-defence?
Lol. No. All relationships end at abortion and women support it. So, unless you directly oppose it, I flat out want to be disrupting your pretty much everything. Because you are not really sorry, you keep claiming the right to annihilate all relationships at once just because - well, there is no other reason but to kill. So you should be allowed as a being to kill without anyone needing a shred of a reason for it.
Still normally doesn't happen
