Should men or women take the first step in a relationship?

When I was interested, I didn't usually make the first overt move. What I did was let him know I was approachable... eye contact, a smile, raise an eyebrow at him. A couple of times I make a first move... one time worked, the other I was out of hand rejected... I can't imagine WHY lol... maybe because sometimes I'm just too goofy for other people to deal with. I really didn't blame the guy... I would've run, too!!

@Caroline91 you’re a Flirt Carolyn lol

[Caroline91]

@Jennz6 I suppose so …lol. And what about you, Jen?

[Jennz6]

@Caroline91 you got me there lol 💃

No I don't think someone should. Both can take the first step

[Finchie40]

Whoever wants it more should take the first step , it doesn’t matter who makes the first move , all that matters is you both want each other and you are both on the same page with each other , so it’s ok for a girl to make the first move as well , she doesn’t always have to wait for the guy to make up his
Mind

It doesn't matter. You want a relationship, you make your moves.

Women have made it very clear men are not allowed to have any form of desire or attraction towards women. It's apparently misogynistic and objectifying if we do. No as a man they expect you to sit there like and emotionless robot and dispense money. Basically they want to date an ATM.

[ManInChains]

Women should take the first step because these days with feminism taking over society it is risky for men to do virtually anything in an attempt to build a relationship with a woman because it is always seen as him only lusting after her for sex.

Whoever feels ready to or thinks that it's the right time to. It's 2024. The whole thing that men should take the first step or make the move first shouldn't be the "requirement" or automatically expected.

[John_Cobretti]

Whoever is interested in the other person

I think women do not need to drop clues on the guy they are interested in and wait for him to make a move, just make a move and make it easy for both of us

Whomever is the fastest or bravest.
If you want something, go for it.

[Nikki1989]

The one that wants it badly enough. Too many people just are plain lazy in that department.

[DishLady]

Personally, I’m old fashioned and prefer the guy to take the first step, leading, let’s say, in the progressive dance from romantic inception to relationship.

[RebelinSteel]

It’s either, I think for me it’s like 60/40 with the girl being the 60% bit.

the main thing someone does it or both just look stupid lol

[northerngal]

Relationships are fluid... there are no rules. Whatever works for you.

[dustybiker2]

You can wait your life away if a person chooses to.

[DarkLegacy]

Either can do it and women should do it more the they currently do.

[msc545]

Women. Men who do it are likely to get arrested.

[Sasquach]

Either or, I think you should shoot your shot regardless just so you don't regret it later on

[whistlingwh0res]

Whore and gigolo can start the business together

[Tstrbrainer]

Women probably.
Is that the shiloutee of you and your boyfriend?

[HelpfulWoman]

if you're interested, show it.

[Jennz6]

Either, but most likely the man.
