Is chivalry dead?
Ok, that isn't what this post is about at all but hopefully it got your attention and you're still reading because it kind of relates to what I'm about to say. That was a long sentence.
Based on some of my observations and personal experiences (aka the things this blog is made of) women too often expect men to initiate interactions. Now, contrary to my theory that the person who initiates is most interested (which I will write about at another time), sometimes I think women need to get off their high horses and initiate things with men.
See, I like being proactive. Waiting around hoping that a guy you like is telepathic and knows how cute you think he looks in that cardigan is completely pointless. Yet, women, unbeknownst to themselves, do this crap day after day and it's silly.
If you like something, you get up and get it. The worst he will do is say no or ignore your advances and hopefully you are smart enough to take the hint before you resemble a babbling idiot.
Now, just a note. When, I say go after what you want, I don't mean go to his apartment and be one of those really cupcakey girls or start taking your garments off. I mean be yourself. Say hello. Start a conversation. I know these things seem impossible for people our age, but I promise you...they work.
Love freely,
tY
