"When I used to have a profile on dating sites I found it no bother making th first move. Here for some reason I've never sent a first message. Can't explain why, but it just doesn't seem like the done thing?" Would it be because on here women are flooded with messages that you'd never get the chance to make the first move | |||

Absolutely love this!! Huge luck with your date tomorrow. It's true we are in control of our own destiny. | |||

"Ahem.... " No, I've checked. You've never winked/mailed me and I'm outside your age range, so must be something else further up the Ahem was for? Or the fact I'm married perhaps, as clearly stated in profile? Ho hum, merrily on my way | |||

"I got fed up hearing… I didn’t think you were interested! I prefer a NO than a missed opportunity. So I have made the first move a lot this year as a way to get out of my shell and fight my shyness with regards to chatting men up! I’m a great party organiser and good at getting people together but crap at 1:1 flirting and closing the deal for myself lol Anyway, rejection is not easy but making the first move is great to develop a thick skin and a couldn’t care less attitude… nothing ventured nothing gained! My shyness has much improved as a result. Mrs " Well good for you C. I'm getting a bit better too xx | |||

"I absolutely would ... but only if I'm getting fairly obvious vibes of interest on their side. Most guys are pretty easy to read but i'd never make the move on these guys, even if I was initially attracted: 1. The cool, difficult to read Alphas. I'm probably not interested anyway. 2. The guys who are interested but are also flirting with half the room. I leave them to their scattergun approach. 3. Those very obviously interested in someone else. I have no desire to compete for their attentions and quickly lose interest. We usually have good reasons for not making the first move! Mrs " I like it… I think that’s where I’ve been going wrong I might make your approach mine I’ll let you know how I get on | |||

"I volunteer in a hospice shop. Cute guy there so I took the liberty of giving him my card (!) with my number on it asking him to take me for a drink. He messaged lots that night and we met in a car park to discuss and make plans. I was very excited but sadly nothing, absolutely nothing has happened other than continuous flirtation and promises ever since. Maybe for the best. Too close a situation. " Most certainly his loss | |||

"Just a tip for the ladies making the first move. Don't be subtle! Us lads can be thick as shit sometimes and won't recognise a "hint". Things above like the card in the car window are the direct approach we understand You leaving your knickers in our office drawer just makes us think you fucked on our desk, not you want to specifically fuck us. Only clarifying for those hinters who wonder why we never reacted to your message, which didn't clearly state you'd be interested in meeting for more than coffee, though that's the reason for coffee. I know folks! My drawer in work tomorrow is going to look like an Anne Sommers grab bag " Alpha Males Alpha female’s Alpha people our out in 2024 | |||

I'm not so sure if it's the norm on fab though. Do you think you're in the minority? Love to hear from other men that are taking a back seat approach and enjoying being chased with great end results. Maybe I'll have to fine tune and work harder on my communication skills. | |||

A lot of the time I'll make connections through the forum and these days it's more likely to be a social event.
