Why do guys want girls to make the first move?

Why do guys always want girls to make the first move?

 

His answer: Nabil O., 15 says, “Guys are not as confident as you girls think! We get nervous and can be insecure. Girls making the first moves assures us you’re interested. Plus, it screams confidence, which is always a plus.”

 

Decoded: Guys aren’t always as cool and collected as they make themselves seem. Girls make ‘em sweat! They’re also not into games—they want to make sure you’re interested. Most importantly, guys love a gal with guts. A girl makin’ the first move is way attractive.

 

Your Move: Put on your best outfit and be the greatest flirter you can be. Make it obvious you’re into him and hopefully the feelings are mutual.  But, make sure you’re not too forward. We don’t recommend goin’ up to your crush and planting a big one on him in math class. If approaching a guy still seems a little nerve-wracking, make yourself approachable. Big groups of girls are intimidating, so walk down the hallway or cafeteria line solo. Give him a chance to make his move. You just might snag one before schools out for summer.

Okay so recently during baseball season,my dad coached this team,and there is this boy on the team that I really liked. He is a grade higher than me and a year-year and a half older than me. He's only talked to me twice,one we were making jokes of my shoes,and the second time it was the last time I got to see him,at the end of baseball season year party. He stared at me a while then when I got up he asked if I could refill his drink and then he said I was nice and all. The next time I'll get to see him is this coming up school year. I'll be in 6th grade and he'll be in 7th. Should I make the first move or just leave it be and find someone else next year? Thanks.




Hey girl!

I recommend focusing on having fun this summer since you won't see him until the fall. When next school year arrives, try and talk to him or text him if you have his number. There's nothing wrong with making the first move. If you don't try, you'll never know!

So I finally got a bf, he's really nice and stuff but we talk mostly over text. We were hanging out the other day and he seemed uninterested. He was boring and would barely talk, but we can text for hours. I tried to start conversations but he wouldn't keep them going. He told me he doesn't really know what to do, b/c I'm different from all the other girls he's dated. I don't know why he's acting like this or what to do with him. He's asking me what to do but I have no idea!

Hey girl,

If he's shy, try letting him start the conversation, or choose a topic you know he's interested in. If he's more comfortable, the conversation might start flowing better! But if it seems like he really doesn't want to talk to you, let him know that's not okay and that if you're going to be in a relationship, you need to be able to have in-person conversations.

okay, so ive been dating this really nice kid for about 1 week now (but we talked for about 2 weeks). Today after hanging out we were texting and he said "aw thanks and can i get a pic of u qn" so first things first: what kind of picture does he mean?! like just one of me or like a certain kind of picture, if you know what i mean!i am not that kind of girl and i dont think he is that kind of guy! and then what does qn stand for or was it just a typing error?? If you could help me out asap it would be really nice, thanks!!



Hey girlie,

Why not just ask him?  That way if he is asking for the type that you're not comfortable in sending, you can tell him right then that you're not that type of girl.  I honestly have no idea what "qn" is, it was likely just a typing error.
