Do you remember the times that people pay you compliments? Often, it is the compliments that we receive from what could be considered the more unlikely of places that have the most substantial impact. All praises are special, and for people that are looking to date, even more so.
No matter the gender, there are outgoing people and shy people aplenty. If it is in your nature to be friendly and personable, feel free to make the first move, no matter who you are. There used to be a much higher social stigma about women asking men to dance, asking men out on dates, and making first moves like kissing. It is much more common and accepted now, and encouraged.
On a phone dating hotline, all people are on equal footing. Rather than wait for the person you want to call you to initiate, you have the perfect opportunity to reach out first. If someone counted all of the times that connections were missed because neither person took the initiative to reach out, the number would be immensely significant.
Whether it is reaching out to get that first phone call with a crush on our site going or initiating that first kiss after a few in person dates, taking the initiative in tactful ways is fantastic for letting your new potential partner know that you are interested and that you mean business. There are few things more exhilarating than the first kiss from someone that you have gotten to know and adore. There is no reason that, with consent, one gender should be predetermined to make that first move.
Remember, it is up to you to seek out your happiness, and to express yourself through the words you choose. When you find that star that puts a little extra (metaphorical) twinkle in your eye, you can take action. Your future dates will appreciate it.
