Do Guys Like it When a Woman Makes the First Move?

When you find a guy that you like and you want to start dating him you might wonder if you should make the first move. In most cases, men say "yes!" They think that a woman who makes the first move is someone who is hot, sexy and knows their own mind.

Men are usually pretty simple to understand but making the first move may take a little thought only because men react to this situation differently. Part of the way that he will react will depend on his culture.

There are a variety of things that culture does to both men and women in the area of male and female relations and knowing these differences will be important to whether you make the first move or let them do it.

In some cultures a woman who innocently makes the first move may be seen as a loose woman which can be a turn off to the man. You should be aware of this but it does not mean that you should not make the move.

Another way to easily make the first move is to ask him if it is okay. In other words, you might ask him a question, How do you feel about…? to feel him out on the subject. This helps you open the communication between you and him and can yield you a better flow of ideas about how to approach him.

Something else to take into consideration is how you will deal with rejection. Some people caution that making the first move can turn some men off and they can reject a woman harshly.

Other people say it is a good idea to wait because men will go after anything they want. If they have interest in a woman they will ask her out pretty quickly.

Something else to take into consideration is how people around you will respond to your making the first move. Some people are still working from the days of the caveman and figure that a woman should always wait for a man to show his attention and they should never ask him out.

This is an old fashioned way of looking at it but it is still something you may be up against. If you decide to take the leap, be comfortable in your choice and do not let someone else make you feel guilty.

When a man is emotionally healthy he will think that a woman asking him out is a treat. Men get tired of always having to do everything when it comes to a woman and a healthy man sees this as refreshing when she decides to ask first. This shows that she is really interested in him. Some men are creeped out by this concept because they do not know how to react.

The bottom line is that it is up to each individual woman as to whether she decides to make the first move or not. When this is part of her personal style it is worth the effort and many men will love the idea.
