Making the first move can be terrifying;
rejection is never pleasant. But I also think there’s something empowering about asking someone else out. Like doing anything that involves taking a chance, there’s a rush that comes with putting yourself out there — even if he declines, at least you'll know that you took a risk.

Most men I know would be more than happy to have a woman pursue them, but even still, the idea of making the moves on a guy can be extremely intimidating. What if you look stupid? What if he’s not interested?
When you are dating a new guy, a woman expects him to open the car door, pay the bill, compliment her outfit, etc., so do you feel he is expected to make the first move as well? Some men find aggressive women incredibly attractive so while it can be incredibly intimidating, do you thinks it's a good idea or a bad idea for the woman to make the first move?
