I had women to ask me out/approach me before. I've never been a "chaser," ever.

I used to ask men out all the time and I've only had 2 dates come of it, both didn't go past the first date.
It's absolutely not a turn off. I enjoy the chase...I also enjoy being chased...

I've approached men out of interest, but I leave it up to them to do the asking.

I like to be a little traditional in that sense. I'm pretty progressive otherwise.

Women don't ask out guys, they wait to be asked out, weight their options and take their pick. Of course they're some outliers but for the vast majority of women it's the truth.(maybe not the majority of options, but the not asking out part) We start this in middle school and HS. Look at the prom for example, Girls don't ask guys to the prom, guys ask girls , and we Continue with that model for the rest of our life.

Any reason they didn't ask you first?
The first one was going to ask me out but he was shy, so I beat him to it.

The second one had his guard up. I brought up a friendly outing, but it was cancelled, so I got ballsy and asked to meet for lunch.

Sometimes I'm just impatient. Other times I just really like the person and end up coming on strong.

I used to think girls asked guys out all the time in high school...
