But this isn't my reality. I have enough guys actually hitting me up; some of them are my cup of tea and some aren't.

The reason I don't make 'moves' and prefer to just wait is because I have enough to choose from. I'm only baffled by this scenario because there's no guessing game involved. I KNOW this man likes me 100% but he's acting like he's not even that interested, when I overheard him over the phone with my friend (he didn't know I was eavesdropping) saying he's so grateful that she's hooking us up and he's really excited/happy. But then... *POOF* he disappears after messaging me twice and for the past few days, I've heard nada. That's kinda strange.


Nah, he's acting like a young dude who is insecure/nervous about what happens next. Hence why he's thanking your friend for setting things up, etc.

He, like most of us, probably prefers to only give his time to girls when he knows that they like him. The fact that he had his number sent to you only for you to rebuttal with your number could be interpreted that you don't want to initiate (which you don't) because you're not that interested.

Throw him a bone and he'll pick up the pieces but then again, the whole "I like to be chased" spiel is retarded and you're probably doing him a favour in the long run by abiding by this. :yeshrug:

By giving him my number that CLEARLY demonstrates, I'm interested. Also in our brief convo, my interest was shown. Yes, I don't do any running around.. but when I like someone, I very much reciprocate.

In the past, I could tell he was feeling me but since he was too shy to ever make a move, nothing ever happened between us. I prefer men who can be dominant in pursuing me. He's already waited 10+ years to make a move. It's not like anything is happening too fast here. I guess, I'm a little bit disappointed because right now, I have other men who have made their interest in me as clear as day. And I'm not the type to wait for a long time to decipher just how interested a man is in getting to know me. The longer he waits to set this date up.. the more I lose interest. Like I said in my previous post, I just find this situation bewildering because it's not like we're strangers; I already know his intentions.. Why he's afraid of making them clear to me is baffling.

Girl, he didn't have the courage to make a move then, and you expect him to be bold and dominant now? That's not who he is. If you don't like it, go talk to the guys that are more your style.

"I want an assertive man"
"I want him to take charge"
"I want him to lead"

The feminist in some of you women wants all the so-called perks of being a man without the responsibilities that men bear.
... And without the social constructs that those responsibilities demand of said traditional relations.

You demand that men seek after what they want and all that macho shyt.
But you won't do it yourselves.

Because you're inherent cowards.
...most of you.


:coffee:

Modern women want it to be one way :sas1:.....




but it's the other way :sas2:

This is a turn off. I really wish he was more confident. Initially, I was excited to know about his interest, but it's starting to waver now because I like a man who can take charge. It took him 10+ yrs to admit he likes me, will it take another 10 to actually set up a date?

If fear of rejection were logical then it wouldn't exist. Because rejection isn't so bad. So why are you expecting him to be rational about something that is irrational by nature?

Also, women who are not interested in men give out their numbers all the time.

Giving a guy your number doesn't necessarily demonstrate that you're interested. Especially, when you consider the fact that he started it off by giving you his number first. Your action shows that you didn't want the onus to be you to create a potential dating situation.

And expecting him to call you off the rip like that when all you've had is a brief conversation is a tall ask, tbh. When shooting in the dark, there's a thin line between showing interest and bugging a girl. He clearly doesn't want to walk that line.

My view is consistent, breh.

I have no problem with modern women wanting to take on more responsibilities and roles and freeing themselves of gender roles and stereotypes.
I 100% support that if a woman wants to go that route.


BUT...

You don't get to have it both ways.
You can't try to be a chief and the indian.

He DID make a move.. by getting my number and telling my friend how much he liked me. Yes, it took him 10+ yrs, but maybe he's more assertive now? That's what I'm hoping/thinking.
