Do you feel as if you are constantly waiting for a guy?

We claim to be “feminists” and yet we are still frightened to break some of the old age traditions. We want guys to flirt with us first. We want guys to ask us out out on dates. We want them to text first, initiate every conversation first, pay for every date, introduce us to their friends and family, be romantic, and of course PROPOSE!

Why are we constantly waiting for men to make the first move? It isn’t the 1600’s anymore. We are in the 21st century and texting a guy first shouldn’t be unheard of. I understand not wanting to give all of your power to the man, I get it. But if you find yourself constantly checking your phone for text messages and getting mildly depressed when they don’t come…there may be an issue. And when he finally texts you that powerful message of “hey” does your heart flutter and life feels worth living again? And you claim to have the power…doesn’t sound like it.

Waiting for a guy to do everything first makes you more vulnerable than you need to be. It’s time to take your power back and not be afraid to text a powerful message like “hey” first. And do you want to know a little secret? Guys like it! They like women who have and display confidence.

I like when a girl comes up to me and starts a casual conversation…boy.girl.flirting.image.

I was at lunch with my friends and a girl came over and dropped a piece of paper down on in front of me. I thought maybe it was an accident because she kept walking out of the cafeteria. I opened it up and it was her name and number. I texted her that night and we have been dating for 2 years…

I don’t think we should always have to make the first move. I want to know the girl is into me as much as I am into her…

I like when a girl asks about my interests because that means she is trying to get to know me more…

It’s not always easy to ask girls out….I need to know the girl is interested before I put myself out there…

I don’t think it’s fair guys have to do everything first…

I don’t think my girlfriend ever waited for me to make certain moves. Sometimes she texts me first and sometimes I text her first. She may send me 20 messages before 8 a.m. and I like that. We’re comfortable with each other. 

I told you, guys like it when a girl is comfortable and confident enough to make the first move. Try it out and you’ll see.
