IATE!!!
Exactly, my personal sentiments!!! I get that there are women, that pursue, that's fine, not judging, but I personally rather a man doing the asking out! And there's absolutely nothing wrong with this being integral in your own personal moral code! This belief, makes you, you! And I am not the only one, who feels this way.

I really hope, you stay true to this belief system! It's not the easy road, by no means, but IATE, when you consider it, your past, your personal scars, esteem, etc. Wouldn't you, personally feel better about the dynamics of the relationship, knowing, in your heart, that you were desired enough to be pursued?!

I know, I do. I've only asked, out, one man in my life. That one lasted 2 years, but somewhere, deep down, I often wondered, if he was with me for convenience or with me because he truly wanted to be with me.

You are worthy of that!! Someone wanting to be with you! And showing it to you, by asking! Deep down, I feel it does something to the dynamics of their egos, but I digress.

You are a woman, that seems to know what you want, or at least are step by step closer to knowing your inner value system, and I admire this statement from you, very much!
