photograph, black and white, monochrome photography, photography, girl, As women, we often wait for men to approach us first, for men to say I love you first, for men to make the move in the bedroom first, and for men to ask us to marry them first. Why? Is it because society demands this? Don’t wait around for society to tell you what to do and how to do it. Do what feels right to you! Although we live in a modern world, women all over the world are still not treated equally. Instead of fearing the opportunity to initiate a conversation with a man, be proud of the fact that you can approach a man first if you’d like to! Women from other cultures would probably love the chance to approach a guy they like.

10. Being Proactive about Your Life and Making Things Happen is Never a Bad Thing

photograph, black and white, monochrome photography, girl, photography, A go-getter attitude gets more accomplished than one who just sits around waiting for something to happen. Even if you are old-fashioned and believe the man should always initiate everything first, from the first meeting to your marriage proposal, who says a girl shouldn’t have a little fun and do something out of her norm?

You might feel a little nervous about making the first move, but you will feel relieved once you have. By making the first move, you are letting him know that you are available and open to conversation. Now go get him tiger!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I want to ask for an advice. If a girl likes a colleague at work. She is unsure about wether it's just an attraction or real thing. She is in two minds about his feelings for her. Her issue is if she makes the first move and ask him then she is not worried about rejection but it may get awkward to work around him or work together which is more important for her. She does not know much about him even basic information and afraid to ask for those as being just colleagues he may find it bit of intrusive or invasion of his privacy. If it's not going to work out then she does not want to boost his ego unnecessarily.

Thanks Waleska. I appreciate your input.

#I would just speak to the person first to get a better sense of where you two are. You can decide to ask the person out or not after talking a few times.
