	Message-ID: <2323@rabbit.UUCP>

	I don't like asking men out because I always think,
	"If he really liked me, he'd ask me out himself, so
	there's no point in my asking."  I don't want to ask
	unless I'm sure he's really interested in me, and I
	probably wouldn't think he was interested in me unless
	he had expressed some desire to see me.  This sounds
	like a vicious circle.  Do other people feel this way?

Now, consider what would happen if all the men you are interested
in were afraid to ask you out unless you'd done something definite
to indicate your interest in them.  After all, if you really liked
a particular one, you would have asked him out, or at least made
sure that he knew you were interested, wouldn't you?  No?

And not all men are self-confident enough to easily take the initiative.


Initiating relationships should be the responsibility of both sexes,
and the sole responsibility of neither.  Can't we (men) meet you (women)
halfway?  Please?
