There is a big difference when it comes to men and women and their dating styles. In general, men are more willing than women to put themselves on the line to make the first move. Conversely, women are willing to risk never seeing someone again by not making a move. Men are generally more open to sacrificing themselves on the first date than women are. But, once they are in a relationship, the roles change. Women are then the ones who are willing to put more on the line.

Risk Nothing – Wait Forever
If you are a woman who has become frustrated with the dating scene, it may be because you are unwilling to risk yourself and show your interest. Why wait for him to initiate a conversation? Many women want the man to do the asking out, but he won’t know you are interested unless you give him the right signals or involve him in conversation. Men like to have a good idea that they will be successful if they do ask a woman out, and you can give him that idea by walking over to him and starting a conversation.
Of course, if you do opt to make contact first, you have to be prepared to be rejected. Not all men you speak with will ask for your phone number, or ask you out. But nobody bats a thousand, and it’s inevitable that a little bit of rejection will come into all of our lives at some point. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be all bad. You can use the rejections you get to hone your intuition. Maybe the next time you have an encounter with a man, you will be better able to judge how he feels about you in return.
Still not sure about taking a risk and letting a man know you are interested? Perhaps you want to understand how it is that men can so easily make the first move and open themselves up on the first date.
