Do you think that guys should make the first move?

Anonymous
I am quite shy and likely socially awkward (or something akin to that) and I can't really imagine making a first move. The closest I got was asking a mutual friend to mention my name and 'test the waters' and she like told the girl that I liked her and she told me that the girl was interested in someone else who she later ended up dating.
Anyway, will I really have to put myself out there more to start a relationship? I know that it's only rejection but I really hate putting myself out there and I think that girls should make the first move if they're interested and are more confident than the guy but I don't usually see that happen (with people I know, people I don't know who talk about their stories, in movies and such).
So I wanted to know what most people think about initiation and showing that you're romantically interested.
Yes
No
Preferably/sometimes
Yes unless the girl has to (e. g. low confidence, doesn't pick up on her hints/flirting)
I don't really think about it/doesn't matter to me
