May I have the pleasure of the next dance?

March 31 2013

In bygone era's, women waited for men to approach them. Even in my own lifetime, women making the first move has gone from acceptable but uncommon to perfectly normal. And then there is online "dating", and specifically rhp, where the men/women ratio resembles Dodge City circa the reign of Wyatt Earp. Does that mean women can't or won't make the first move, and we're part of a great Victorian pantomime? Curious about your thoughts? - Posted from rhpmobile

    I'm looking for a particular kind of man. He's self assured and knows what he wants in life. He's interested in much more than a casual fling. He's a rare man but if I stand out to him he'll let me know. If I have to pursue him I wasn't attractive or interesting enough to get his attention in the first place so there's little chance I'd be able to hold it over time. And besides, at heart I'm an old fashioned girl.

    I prefer the man to make the first move...not that Im backwards in coming forward..every day at my work I have to be assertive and not always pleasant......I just dont feel the need to be all the time in my personal life...which men expect me to be given my profession - I have to up front at work,uni and my day to day general life..I give it a rest when it comes to my love/sex life !!   I like the old fashion dance..   But Im all for women making the first move..I have no issue with that but every time I have made the "first move" ...it has ended in disaster and left me shattered....   So now I dont bother.......I rarely contact men via this site anymore ..except to maybe comment on a forum post or if they have a interesting profile etc but even that has bitten me on the ass...........   I m patient by nature.............so I'll just kinda of chill and wait..apparently all good things come to those who wait...:)

    It depends on the person....I dislike those rejection feelings, so I would rather wait for guy to make first move..not only that it says to me "He's just that into me"..I think it is acceptable nowadays for women to make first move...nothing wrong with being pro-active and a woman knowing what she wants... :-) Foxy- Posted from rhpmobile

    I now wait for a female to contact me. That way I know if the're the real thing. Too many willing to play games on here.. so even though the number are smaller. The success rate is higher....

    You want a tall, handsome stranger to come sweep you off your feet. Just like in a fairy tale. Me too to be honest. Messo I also have made the first move before or at least made the effort to go say hello and maybe flirt a little. I think sometimes a man can miss the clues us women give out and it would be a shame if I missed meeting someone fabulous just because I was too shy to say hello, wanna fuck? Oops just jokes I wouldn't say that. :p

    the RHP world, I have only ever sent 1 flirt (when I first joined) and regretted it 2.4 minutes later when I read the forums (rookie mistake) I actually tend not to even look at profiles unless the person has messaged me or posted on the forums though, so I'm possibly missing out on some incredible experiences with Adonis like men - but living in the fantasy world that I do, if it is meant to be, they will magically fall into my lap....and stay there for quite some time

    Quoting 'Meeka100'You want a tall, handsome stranger to come sweep you off your feet. Just like in a fairy tale. Me too to be honest. Not a fairy tale Meeka. I've met a couple of men that would definitely fit the description. With one there was amazing chemistry, with the other none at all. So possible, but yes, rare.

    I have made plenty of first moves and have been rejected so many times that I can't remember. I often wonder what I am doing wrong. I know I am not tall dark and handsome but tall blonde and a nice guy. From my point of view sometimes men get sick of being rejected so they won't go out and make that first move because they feel that it is another rejection and it makes their conferdence low.As for women who make the first the moves , well done ladies it shows a conferdence that some people lack. Just my thoughts any way- Posted from rhpmobile

    ...to inspire a person to make that first contact ;) As for "old-fashioned" , where a Man would make the first move , weren't those the days when Women were expected to be good HomeMakers ? Aren't we living in an Age ( in Australia at least ) when Women should be Empowered ? When a Woman initiates contact with me , I think it's a TurnOn ! I'm not looking for a Demure Princess . I'm looking for an Equal. GG♒ - Posted from rhpmobile

Or were you just watching the bunny boiling scene in Fatal Attraction? OP, I'd be happy to play Victorian pantomime with you. I have a thing for steampunk pantaloons atm.

    Shinas: So now I dont bother.......I rarely contact men via this site anymore ..except to maybe comment on a forum post or if they have a interesting profile etc but even that has bitten me on the ass...........Perhaps they have an Arse Fetish. I really can't blame them though as you have a lovely arse.Make sure you don't forget Freya. If you miss it, you will have to wait another four years. Then again, that would be four more years of your company on RHP. Hmm...not sure now if I hope you contact him or forget to contact him. Jay, How is your approach going? Did someone contact you?

    I guess it's that age old question..truth is..what do u want..what will u accept..not settle for..u a strong vibrant woman..we learn frm our experiences and they hv taught me that women don't want one kind of man..but a bit of everything...confident yet humble..sensitive but strong..a patient passionate lover who can fuck ur brains out

    That's an excellent point, and I think in almost every aspect of the interaction it's true... including real life-like respect. But I clarified because I wondered if here was different for that first action... and for some it appears, yes. Interestingly, no-one has said "there's so many men, why both making an effort, they'll find me if they're good enough". I'm ecstatic about that. For the record, I've been the happy recipient of "first moves" (and not just from Bruce the 'Dozer Driver)... this wasn't a thread from personal experience, more reflecting on other comments... - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'lil_bit_angelic' For some of us, their not so different. I conduct myself the same way in here as I do anywhere.   Mischieviouslad once said (I'm paraphrasing) that the same rules apply here as in any other adult place, like a bar for example. Would a guy approach a sexily dressed woman there and ask if she wants to fuck? Probably not, unless they like having a drink poured over their head. It amazes me sometimes how many men don't understand this.

    That if one waits to be contacted by a man, either here in LaLa land or in real life, then I have a better chance of being someone he wishes to know, not just get his end wet with. Of course, I could be completely wrong there as well.I will not make the first move, call me old fashioned, I view it as a compliment.Viking

    Quoting 'Freya77' I think I am a black magic woman I always knew you were one. Just don't pull as disappearing act on me. Wait...there are worse things. Don't saw me in half. I am worried you might disappear before you put me back together.The point being, us guys do make first moves. We wait for a response...and wait...and wait. Eventually we fall asleep waiting and if a response comes back, we miss it. At least in a bar setting, we can see the lady turn her nose up and we can then move on. The silent treatment is great for meditation, not so much for social interaction.

    I have hit on two men in the real world just recently. The first, an out of towner, was wrapt. We had a great week together before he went home again. The second, two weeks ago, was astounded when I hit on him. We were playing a game of chance for a small wager, when I suggested we play for something less mundane than money, he asked what and I said kinky sex. It really flummoxed him. To cut a long story short, he asked me a week later if I was still up for it and we had a great night together. I am hoping it may be a weekly event, but even if it isn't, I won't give up being the first to "suggest" the action. Mind you, I have had knock backs in the past!
