Why Girls Should Ask Guys Out On Dates

If you think a guy will be turned off by you making the first move, think again. "Guys often tell me they love it when women take initiative in dating and relationships," said Lori Salkin, SawYouatSinai.com Senior Matchmaker and Dating Coach. She explains that while girls are wired to be reserved by nature, many guys love it when we change things up and pursue them.

"Everyone likes to be pursued, even guys," Licensed professional counselor, Michael Hilgers, M.MFT, told me. "From a guy's perspective, it can get exhausting always being expected to make the first move — for all the same reasons you ladies have. It's so much easier for everyone to just be clear about interest — or even disinterest."
