Always people tell that boys should approach girls first but what if a guy is really shy Should'nt girl take the first step. Shouldn't the thinking that guys should approach first be change.

I believe it should! Women don't approach guys they like because they think that it might be making them desperate or they are afraid that the guy would think of them as only wanting ONE thing. There are really women who think like that. Nothing would happen if you keep on waiting. The woman might be waiting for the guy for a long time because she thinks that he has some feelings for her. Then one day, the guy introduces his new girlfriend to her. It's a really crappy feeling. Grab the opportunity! Strike whilst the iron is hot! From a guy point of view, I think that when a woman approaches me for instance I would get a lot of morale boost.

Yeah,this is a convention(if not a rule) that a guy should propose first.Girls should not let her feelings show until the guy is on his knees asking for her approval. These things might have worked in medieval times but today I don't think any girl should stick to this idea. Its a modern age where girls also have as much liberty as boys then why not use it in this regard also! If you like someone just say it aloud why wait your lifetime for the other person to make the move!

Girl have more dynamic mind than boy. They thinks lots of things before approaching any guy. They think that what will boy think about them. Thats my real life experience in my country.

i don't think it matters who initiated the thing if its worth it. i have seen few of my friends ..girls.. initiate the relationship and they had ended up getting married after long courtship period. they are happy and it doesn't matter who proposed.

if a guy is too shy, the girl must make her move. why wait for something that might not happen if no action is taken to improve the situation? I made my first move with my boyfriend because i really wanted to get to know him and just to make sure i was not having an ordinary crush like in secondary school.

If the guy is shy, then the girl could at least initiate a good conversation with her. I am shy around guys, but when the guy is shy, too, I am less intimidated.

What holds back the girl from approaching the guy is the result of a stigma that says shyness is an essential ingredient of womanhood. Here if a girl approaches a boy then she will be frowned upon. The 'over smart' girl is veiwed with a suspicion which should be changed. I don't think who approaches who first really does matter. What matters is the real attraction and a prospective positive answer from whom she approaches.

you can't spend your life waiting for good things to come to you. if you are attracted to someone and they aren't approaching you, then of course you should approach them.

hi therockingboy perhaps if the guy is shy and the girl feels he is really interested she should make a first step saying hi and trying to make him feel at ease. but a lot of guys are turned off completely at a girl who makes the first advance so it depends on the guy and the girl too. no two cases are ever alike you know.

who first gets attracted should go and propose.love should not have ego. you should never have shy to the person you love.mostly boys get attracted so they propose first.girls too have feelings they to will get attracted first they will also propose.but the problem with girls is they take long time to take a decision and wont approach quickly.boys and girls have equal rights anyone can propose anyone no more waiting friend :) have a nice day.

Ya its true my friend. Actually girls take more time to trust a person or to identify if the person is trust worthy my friend.
