Actually I was...it's happened a few times and been a shock.
For the most part, I do agree with the rest of what you've said. The downside? As a conservative woman, I feel kinda like I should let the guys do the pursuing. So there's that. Once the relationship is underway...you're probably right in that the woman has something of an upper hand. when it comes to ending things.
I think Ken is more right on this one. Letting the guy pursue is all well and good but some of the best ones will not make a move unless they see signals.
Well, if you're getting a lot of spontaneous date requests..you must be very special..so take it as a compliment..you've got that "je ne sais quois" working, I guess..but tis true that guys are petrified of rejection..BTW..It's nice that you don't want to lie, even to spare their feelings..I admire that..but there is a happy medium..tell the guy that you're flattered, but you've taken a break from dating for a while...an dr emeber, a "break" can be 5 minutes, days, weeks, or 5 months.) tell them YOU'RE flattered, and ask them for their number, that maybe you'll call THEM later....it'll make them feel great...
