Me!!! You've already experienced good results making the first move so why are you doubting yourself? Make the first move and if that works, wait for him to make the NEXT move. Most men love it. What do you have to lose?

We got along very well but grew in different directions. We split up but are still friends.

I dated three guys after him. One, I asked out of the blue (we worked together). Another, we also worked together (different job) and I heard he had asked if I had a boyfriend. So I gave him my number and we dated a little. The third, I knew from high school. We had been friends for years and he told me to call him if my boyfriend and I ever broke up. So I did, and now we're married, although he did the asking there.

If I didn't know he was interested I would not have thought to call him. Two of the four guys I asked were because I knew that. I think it must work even more so in reverse (if the guy thinks you are interested ).
I agree. Its difficult to say who made the first "move". My husband showed interest and so I showed it back not that I could keep it hidden. He asked me out.

I personally find it refreshing and rewarding whenever I've been invited out by a woman. Some time back I was asked out by a very attractive women, she asked if I would like to see an exhibit at the Art Museum, I said only if I could buy her dinner and drinks afterward, we hit it off and had a great time. I'm still seeing her often, she's a delightful self confidant woman, like I said, it's refreshing...
It's EASY.

Men are not good at making the right pick. Coz 99% of the picks are made by the penis. That's just a failing 1% probability for the brain function.

Mrs Chamataka made the first move. And we caught like wild fire. And we're in the process of working out our wedding date and place presently

I've made the first move twice.

First my xhubs
Second, my xjumpoff. He is a very sweet guy. We're not partners anymore, but we have a good friendship.

I heard this theory the other day. Some women don't approach the guy she thinks is the most handsome. You know the guy at the party, event or bar you want to come over to say hello. We'll walk over to the average guy. Thinking we may get shot down from the "cute guy".

Not sure, if that's true.

I didn't say you handsome. Some women are like men afraid of rejection. She wants the handsome guy. Most won't approach him. She may think he's out of her league. She'll wait for him to say something.

What I mean by successful is that they didn't say no and were at least interested.

It's a good thing. And if you are doing the asking, the dudes won't be complaining

Try it for a change, coz I know you once posted how everyone who expresses interest in you are creepy, weird and old.
