Who should take the first step into a relationship? The man or the woman?

[Blaim]

I'm not sure if I should ask my crush if she wants to be in a relationship with me. I don't even know if she's interested. Who do you think should do the first move.

The guy should take the first step

The girl should take the first step

[Bas96]

I'd say both. Whoever makes the first move. Typically, guys make ( or are made to ) make the first move because they are expected to. If they didn't make the move, they would be considered weak or scared. If a girl makes the first move, it makes her appeal more confident and more self assured. I, would have respect for a girl that makes the move before I would make it.
Last time I had a crush on someone, and made that move, it didn't go well. Since then I'm not really in the mood to make that move. I'll rather wait a little longer to see if it really is true. I'm not really that confident about myself.

it's the 21st century, either one can make the first move. if both parties really liked each other, the end result is the same so it doesn't matter who made the first move. women who know what they want have confidence, and confidence is always sexy for either men or women.

Men aren't that great anyway, so you really shouldn't risk your self respect as another woman said on here. Let him do the approaching or just let him go on about his ways if he wants to be a cute little vagina.

If I throw myself at you I'm probably just tryna bang anyway, I don't care what you think of me or if we see each other again. But if I really like you, I'll show interest, if you keep being a bitch your loss, cause I'm not making the first move.

You might be waiting around forever if she doesn't know you are interested. So you will have to take that leap. But I would not overwhelm her by asking to be your girlfriend. I would just ask her on a date so you guys see if you connect first. If she hasn't noticed you to crush on you yet then you'll be some strange guy she's never concidered wanting her commitment. It's too much to start off. Good luck. Life is short so don't procrastinate.😎

If you're unsure of how she feels then I think you should make the first move in this case. Not because you're a guy but because you do not know if she is interested. If you are the one to make the first move then at least she knows you're interested. But personally I don't think it really matters if it is the guy or the girl who makes the first move as long as someone lets the other person know they're interested.

[SallySweet712]

Both. Doesn't matter for me. I always make the first step. Like him and want him? Well, I go after for what I want. Get rejected? Plenty of fish in the sea..

[EarthyGirl]

👊agree

[Tiaroendu479]

If you’re not sure whether they want a relationship, you should absolutely be the one to make the first move. You don’t want to wait for her to make the first move, just to look back 10 years later and realize this is an opportunity lost. If you believe you would be happy together, don’t let anything stand in the way of you expressing that belief

[Adfectus]

It can go either way.

I've made the first move in a few of my previous relationships. I've also been in a few where he made the first move.

If you're interested get on her radar. :)

In my experience, most men don't respect women who make the first move. In dating online men say they like when a woman approaches them first but she has to be 9 or 10 to get a response.
It's better to wait for a guy if you're a woman.

[Jmcmanning]

If you don't know if she's interested, how can we say she should take the first step. You know how you feel and that should be enough for you to act upon.

[SexyChristianTeacher]

Ideally, there should be a moment when both boy and girl realize that they both want to enter a relationship.

[ittybittyninjapanda]

It depends on the relationship but it honestly doesn't matter. I've made the first move and vice versa.

[bubbles328]

Either you need to flirt a little to let him know you're interested

[Burn662]

If you like somebody, then you should make an effort to spend some time with them. It shouldn't matter who makes the first move so long as somebody does.

[Anonymous]

Most men say men should take the lead so don’t come complaining to us women about how we don’t approach u

[Zenurus]

R u kidding with those option? Add one for "who ever" or "who ever wants to be happy more, since happiness is in everone's own hands".

[DaSte]

Too shy to do the first step tbh. Even tho i know im degraded for most women to be declined anyway when im like that...

[MrMonsieur]

If you're a guy and you like a girl, take the step. However, if you're a girl and you like a guy, you should also take the first step. STOP MAKING ME GUESS IF YOU LIKE ME JUST ASK ME OUT

[anonhhhh]

Girls wanted equality, why not letting them make the first step?

[Anonymous]

The guy, because normally the girl is ready first. Just like there girl chooses the right time for sex because the guy is ready first.

[TacosRAwesome]

Whoever is interested ask the other to go on a date.

[GK0026]

In this scenario you should, otherwise the one that want to do something about it.

[boulshyte]

women should make the first step because men can't take rejection well, weak ass dudes

[ThreeSheetsToTheWind]

Whoever wants to make the first move. Screw gender roles.

[rahul_24]

Whoever wants it, make a move. Doesn't matter is it's woman or man

[Anonymous]

Stereotypically the guy "should". Really whoever feels comfortable doing it is the one who should.
