How do you get a man to initiate anything? I’ve been through 5 relationships, a small handful of dates, and not to include that I’ve always been the one to start the talking/being more forward than them. I wanna feel like a girl, not the man in my life

You have to start getting strict tbh nip it in the bud at the beginning. If he’s not initiating from the beginning = no access

You see, the various people that I do “meet” on dating apps, or people in my work/social life that yea I find attractive and interesting, they don’t make those moves. A girl can only be so “flirty” and leaving the door open just enough for someone to get a hint that I am rolling the ball to their court, before coming off as assertive, pushy, possibly mean, and flat out asking for myself again.

Revert to my response to #3. Like I can only meet so many people in my time, use an app, make plans, go out, and still be left with not even a drink being bought for me at a bar or club. Or having someone pick up on the little hints I try to leave without being extremely bold and obvious, leading me to the be one asking certain questions and asking like the dominant one in my relationships. Like idk what I want, and the constant waiting around for months on end😤 ugh it’s a yes or no yk

In all seriousness I fr have never been asked out, even on a date while in my relationships. It was always me. Like full on asking, planning, surprises, my money, never even a b day gift. Fr fr fr all of them. That’s just how mic love I got to give if they can at least like me emotionally and physically enough. But I’m realllyyyy tired of being the only one making my happiness happen. Like idk a b day gift would have been really nice Yk
