For me it seems that even though a woman will give all the indications that she may be interested to the point of being in love that they are utterly incapable or unwilling of making that first move. Why is that? Is it biological, phychological and what are the specific dynamics involved? Any new insights to be offered on this topic?

Every woman I have been in a relationship with since I was sixteen has made the first move. All of them said I was an airhead and wasn't picking up the signals. DOH!
:eek:

I purposedly on 2 occasions did not make the first move even though I knew they wanted me. Maybe there is a cultural/religious factor(s) to consider also. Hey there Tauren
did you just play dumb? Were you aware that they were interested in you or did their irresistable atttraction to you overcome that inertia and any fear they may have had?

They said they could tell I liked them and they were giving me signals, but I wasn't picking up on them. I think part of it is also an innate fear of rejection. (which I'm working on):)

I have never made the first move since I'm kind of dense and a wuss when it comes to these things. When I think they like me, I'm never too sure about it so I never pursue it even though in retrospect, I should've worked up the courage to...

'They' say that women love to be pursued so maybe that's why they just wait for the man to initiate things. I don't know. I'm pretty dumb in this field...

I think we both mutually attacked each other right away, and had fun to boot.

I don't like to make the first move, and I'm not sure where the root of that derived.

My wife. Called me up out of the blue and asked me out. I had no idea she liked me. Well, actually I kinda did but wasn't looking at the time.

I like agressive women :D

right now, i've made a move, and am activly looking, and she has told me she was waiting for me to make a move, and i made it; yet she tells me that she isn't looking right now. I think she has feelings for me, but she's seriously fighting them.
It doesn't help that her long term best guy friend thinks he's going someplace with her , and keeps telling her that I'm too young for her. 8 months.
I know that jerk is telling her she should distance herself from me, but I know she likes me alot too. oh wait sorry got off track there a second.

arrgggg very confused at this situation.

I made the move, and I'm soooo glad I did. She's kind of shy, so if I never mentioned it, I don't think we would have gotten our relationship going at all. Too bad she's a 1000 miles away. I want to go back home!!!

She made the first move, it seems I am as dense as the rest of you when it comes to their moves. Apparently she had been flirting with me a for a few months..... and I thought we were just friends.:)

I'm freaking glad she did too!

Elita did - I hadn't tried before because she is way out of my league. :)

Seven years, a wedding, and a daughter later, boy am I ever glad she did! :D
