i feel the same way. i was raised to be a strong woman. i was raised around strong women, and i don't know anything else but to be who i am and make no apologies for it. i am also very old fashioned in that i want a man to ask me for a date, even if it's only the first date. i also want him to be the first one to lean in to kiss me for the first time, and the first one to say the L word. this allows me to play my cards and keep a bit to myself until that exact right moment where i know it's right.
my parents always taught me to be strong, and to love myself first and foremost (because if you can't love yourself, then how can anyone else?) but i've mostly met men who equivocate opinionated women with bitches, and that is lamesauce. i won't stand for it.
and yeah. maybe it is old fashioned, waiting for the guy to ask/kiss/say i love you. but here's the thing. i dunno about you, but i've found its a practical thing, too. if you don't have the guts to ask me out, or go in for the kiss, that is often a sign that you are not going to be the man i am looking for in a relationship. either you're going to be shy and let me steamroll you instead of having a give and take with me, or you are going to sit back and be lazy and expect me to do everything in our relationship, and that's not what i want. i want partnership, i don't want to drive the station wagon at all times. i don't want to run you over.
so *high five* to us strong women who know what we want. and look for it without shame.
i've never quite put this sort of thing out in the universe. but. i have a pretty good relationship with the universe lately, so, i figure throwing this out there could help. maybe the universe will help me out with this one too.
and i guess, in that way, it is a big step. because i've never done it before and i do think it has meaning.
