Why? It's very attractive to a woman when the man makes the first move. It shows that he's confident in himself and knows what he wants. If I were a man, I would never wait for the woman to come after me - if I knew what I wanted, I'd pursue her. Waiting around would make me feel ineffective.

I'd guess that long term you won't be happy with a shy man. I wouldn't be either. I prefer men who know what they want and go after it -- in all facets of life.

I used to be quite shy around women, I'm pretty much over it now. However, If the woman doesn't put at least a little effort in by the 3rd date I pretty much check out.

If I have to consistently make first contact and plan everything I feel like she's just riding the wave looking for the next big swell. They're just wasting my time or giving me pity dates since they're to chicken to say they are not interested. **** that.

I wouldn't say I don't go after what I want, I just don't go after what doesn't want me =)

Same here.

What I can appreciate about shy guys is their sensitivity. But I need that sensitivity paired with confidence and action. It's really hard to find a guy who is confident but not an a**hole. I am looking for that middle ground.

I think it's really sad that a normal, decent, confident but nice guy would be so hard to find.
