I've been on dating apps lately and there's been guys I've talked to for weeks. They never asked me out, I'm kind of still waiting. There's always a point in time where they stop putting in as much effort and start replying slower but still hold the same amount of interest.
They become more relaxed.
I don't think a "honeymoon phase" end is the right word for it but it's close. My question is if this point of comfort comes before they ask me out where there ever be hope that they'll ask me out?

You’re telling me you guys are the type to stay home and raise the kids - are you now? Or do women have to do everything?

I don't think you look like Emma Watson that guy wait for few weeks for you. Dude we have many options.
He's not the one waiting, I am.
Than ask him out. Who stopping you?
Oh I see what you're saying. Yeah that's not really the norm. It's moreso expected for the guy to ask the girl to be his girlfriend. Not for the girl to ask the guy to be her boyfriend, its just not ask expected as the guy doing it. So the fact that he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet is more concerning than the fact that I haven't asked him to be my boyfriend yet - why? Because again, society has normalized it being the guy's job, not the girl's.
Also it's almost in a guy's nature to chase. It thrills them and this is backed by science. Why shouldn't the guy ask in this case? The one time I asked a guy out he said yes and then asked my best friend the next day whether she liked him. He didn't ask me out for a reason - he liked both me and my best friend.
Lol you're still living in old times.. you're old school.
Sweetheart online dating apps are not good for you
@asker if you think guys enjoy chasing you are sorely mistaken. Sounds like you just want to avoid rejection.
Savage, Spartan,
Do you have any evidence? Where's your source? Here's mine:

Even if it's not true I definitely think there's a reason why this behavior is heard moreso from guys than woman. And that is the same reason why society thinks its more normal for a guy to ask a girl out and not the other way around.
Come at me with an argument, not ad hominem. I'm genuinely here to learn and I'm willing to change my belief if you make sense.
If a guy can't step up to do something that society considers his job, what's motivating to step up for things that are more important or things that are not considered his job? Same thing for women.
Your 'souce' is about as credible as Cosmo. You're really going to ask what we bring to the table? You're a joke.
@spartan55 ad hominem :) you didn't even give me an argument. Pathetic.
@spartan55 You know what? I know what you bring to the table. You bring laziness. Brokeness. Pregnancy. Cheating. Emotional Unavailability. WHAT IS A MAN'S JOB IF ITS NOT PURSUING A WOMAN. DOES HE EVEN HAVE A JOB?
It's a woman's job to cook, to clean, to give birth and raise the kids, and now ask the guy out too? I think I'm better off alone at that rate.
@spartan55 I want a MAN. Not a BOY.
What else do you guys want us to do? Wipe your butt for you?
Don't need to.
Some men can't do anything these days ffs. Broke financially, mentally, romantically AND emotionally.
@spartan55 Yeah you "don't need to" because you can't smart ass.
@spartan55 THE EGG DOESN'T SWIM TO THE SPERM SLOW ONE
I apologize for going off but seriously - without some evidence, examples, sources or common sense as to why this makes sense this is probably the worse piece of advice I've received on GaG. We already have a problem with guys and effort as it is.
* Doing his job does not fix the problem - I believe it just leads the way for him expecting you to do even more things *
I could see this making sense if the guy was scared of rejection - but if I've dropped every damn hint possible that I like you and want to be in a relationship with you, you really got no excuse.
Dude why guys will chase you what you have to offer on table apart from boobs n hole?
Literally to pass down their legacy.
Proverbs 18: He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord
Sperm chases and literally competes for an egg.
Come on this is common sense
And you really consider yourself a prize? When some of you guys get up and leave us to be single mothers anyway after times get tough? Beats me.
Tell me again - what exactly is a man’s job in a relationship if it’s not at least pursuing the woman?
This is free entertainment... yeah you just show up, no need to do anything else... right? Like I said, you're a joke.
Who said I believe in all those rigid roles? Just stop, you are embarrassing yourself.
@spartan55 Whatever helps you sleep at night. You clearly have nothing better to say or argue and you definitely failed to convince me of this bs. Better luck next time.
