Times sure has changed. Women are now the bread winners of their families, CEO’s of successful businesses, innovators and trend setters but when it comes to dating many of us still expect the man to take the lead. Admit it, as women, most of us ravish in being able to provide for ourselves, be independent and make our own rules as we see fit but we still expect a man to be a man. And that includes making the first move. Our pride and fear of rejection hasn’t allowed us to overcome that obstacle just yet. After all, we choose our mates right, not the other way around.

Literally.At a friend’s party: “I wanted to talk to you the second I got here, but no one introduced me. So I’m introducing myself.”
Men are attracted to confident women. He’ll think the fact you had the chutzpah to approach him is hot. Sure, some guys like to make the first move, but that doesn’t mean they’re not pleasantly surprised when a woman does the legwork.
