I wouldn't mind some general advice or opinions if you all wouldn't mind.
I am a woman back out in the dating scene these days, and I'm interested in a man. The thing is he is really shy, to the point where he stutters and blushes around me. So I feel a strong indication that he likes me, but most likely won't ask me out unless I reveal my interest or ask him out first.
The thing is, there's a lot of opinions out there that traditionally the man should ask a woman out first. If he doesn't, you're at risk of being in a relationship that is one sided, you will be planning all the dates yourself and he will be in his "feminine recieving energy" for the rest of your relationship. Or worst case scenario he doesn't even like you, and is saying yes for convenience. It's the same concept with the man paying for the date.
This has actually happened to me you see - my last relationship I did reveal to my crush first that I liked him and the relationship felt very one sided, especially financially and emotionally. I was a total retard for staying as long as I did. I am actually wondering, through healing and therapy, if this guy even liked me to begin with, or whether I was just a placeholder for something better.
Anyways... I'm torn. I know guys love to be asked out and its a huge ego boost which is awesome and I have nothing against that. I know that we are Satanists and drive our own fate. Through each relationship I have had or lost, is a lesson the Gods have given me.
What would you do in my situation?
