How will you feel if he isn't interested?

If you're in a good place self esteem wise go for it, if it might knock you back a bit personally if he turns you down wait until you feel stronger.

I think more women should be encouraged to make the so called first move...I personally find it extremely attractive (and I believe most men will find it attractive, unless they are the so called "old fashion" who believe in strict gender roles). Rejection is part of life ... we all experience it in some shape or form, and I feel the OP wants to do it, she just needs a bit of encouragement, regardless of the outcome.

She did ask if she should go for it though, I assumed it meant she wanted opinions from both camps

🦬💩...almost every relationship I ever had and every FWB I ever had, SHE was the initiator. And I was very much interested in them, and the fact they made the first "move" was part of the reason I was interested. We can all project our own experiences into this, but I believe the OP wants to do it, and that's why she asked...if she didn't, she would have your attitude about it and not even bother.

How come you never initiated with her?

Glad it worked out for you but if I messaged a guy on an app first how would I know he was really interested or just thought to himself ohh she’s ok I’ll give her a go, all while having zero excitement over me and continuing to message other women first? nah it’s not for me I want someone who takes the initiative

I think some men can be a bit shy,I've initiated the first message before and it's led to meeting I don't chase anything but I'm happy to make a first move.

There's a lot of truth in the old saying

'he chased her until she caught him'.

This probably doesn't apply to fab but there are a lot of men who believe they made the first move in an encounter but we're given an open goal

Go for it, life is too short for wondering

If he isnt interested at least you know and can move on (after a little bit of wound licking, rejection is hard no matter how confident you are)

If he is interested then woohoo 😁

That's fair...I too like a woman that takes initiative, I too like to feel wanted, however the second guessing about if a guy actually is interested in you, I personally find a bit juvenile...how would you know if a man that does make the first move is actually interested in you and not is chasing 10 other women at the same time...you wouldn't know until you spend a bit of time with them.

Why I don't personally make the initiative is because I only have the physical to go by when I make the first move, and that's less important to me than her personality and being compatible (and that's even of it's a FWB)...I also dislike the traditional gender dynamics where the man has to "chase" and court a woman...I mean what next, do I also have to ask her father before taking her out on a date?🤭

My apologies but balls to that, men are just as capable of prevarication and self doubt as women

Also what they consider a clear show pf interest can be so subtle as to be practically invisible

If we want to own our power then we need to step up to be clear about our wants and needs and stop being passive

And if one person mentions "masculine energy" i will lose my shit 😊

I can own my power without chasing a man who may or may not be interested in me though

Go for it. You won't know until you make that move. I don't send a lot of messages myself. Constantly chasing is absolutely exhausting.
