I object! :) To #32 that is. I’m just curious why you think that. I can see your reasoning in the comment you left me this week regarding guys (btw he hasn’t called – grrr!), but why do you think the guy should have all the “power” to decide if and when a relationship should be pursued? I am far from a feminist, believe in chivalry, and hope to one day become a “domestic engineer” but if I want something I’m going to go for it and not wait around for some guy to make the first move. I think guys have proved many times that sometimes they can’t see a great thing even if it is staring them in the face. Sometimes they need some help… from us girls.
Do we have different perspectives due to our geographic differences? I don’t know anyone who was raised in the Midwest (Nebraska is considered Midwest right?) but most, if not all, of my east coast friends (and my new west coast friends too) have a similar take on the situation as me.
laura, i am going to do this on my blog. just wanted to tell you before... and i will give credit where credit is due :)
K - I've met a lot of people here in the Midwest who would object, as well. Though I can understand your point, (and boy, does it suck to feel like you have to just sit and wait), there are a few reasons I feel this way.
#1. I want to feel pursued, as I think every woman wants, but if I make the move, I can't TRULY feel that way. If I ask a guy out and he says yes, I'm going to feel like I had more interest than he did. I'm going to wonder, at least to an extent, if the feeling is really mutual. Whereas, if I let the guy pursue, I can then know that he is really into me and not just going along with something. I hate playing guessing games. I want to know someone's intentions. If I did the asking, maybe he'd just be going out with me because he thought I was hot and why not, instead of really wanting to get to know me. You know what I mean?
#2. Every guy I've talked to says that, though it feels flattering to have a girl pay them attention and ask them out (some are totally turned off by it), they really like to pursue a girl. They like the idea of finding someone they want to "chase" and "win over". And I'm all about being chased and won over. If a guy doesn't like me enough to pursue me, I don't want to feel like I have to pursue him and win him over. Seems backwards to me.
It's true that guys often can't see a great thing staring them in the face, but just because it's a great thing doesn't mean they want it to be THEIR great thing. You're a great thing and I'm a great thing, but we can't be a great thing to every cool, fun, cute guy we meet. At least, that's how I see it. :)
I am from the west coast--I want to be pursued. I don't the geography has anything to do with it. Although, now living in the Midwest, I know the differences in cultures. But here I am to say...Being pursued is the best way!
Great work!
