I have been the one to suggest intimaticies in several relationships.
Most of the time the fellow is thinking the same thing and everything was
wonderful! Personally, I don't care who takes the initiative.
There were two cases where the silly nits thought a man HAD to accept a sexual
proposition because...
I'm not sure. Something to do with "MEN have such a strong sex drive"
therefore "HE must want any sex offered" -- or something!. Anyway those two
relationships were not terribly successful!
I have also been turned down a couple of times because he wasn't ready for
such a step -- much wiser, I think.
As an important postscript I should say that I do not typically shy away from
sexual relationships and I have a positive mania about avoiding any hint
of an aspect of "payment" for sex -- i.e. I pay my own way for all dinners,
shows, trips, etc.
Of course such lack of coyness leads to some short-lived and not particularly
warm relationships! I have also had my share of very good relationships though.
