We are living in the world where we are fighting for equality between man and women. In a world of beautiful, goal driven, ambitious and strong women, women who will stop at nothing to get what they want but approaching a man they really like. why in 2018 is it still a taboo when a woman shoots her shot? slide in them DMs sis and get your life (in this case partner).
As a young, strong, ambitious independent woman i really don’t see anything wrong with telling a guy i really like how i feel. For a very long time i believed what i was told which was “let a man work hard to get you, he should be the one coming to you to confess his love for you and make him wait or he’ll think you cheap” well… i think part of this is true however the “wait” doesn’t determine your worth. If his intentions are not pure you can make him wait years/weeks/days/hours but he’ll still won’t treat you like a Kween because he’s here to pass time but if he truly loves you,respects you and sees a future with you he will treat you like his Kween doesn’t matter how long you made him wait. I believe it’s how you carry yourself and the beauty your heart is what will make him fall in love with you.
If you have been speaking to a guy and you know him (even though we can’t say we really know a person but..) know he’s values and ambitions, he ticks all the boxes and you know you would like to date him but when he asks you out you want to “think about it”, sorry think about what you already know you want.I personally don’t like games (hence i suck at the love game) and i try to be always honest and transparent with my feelings because that keep me grounded and close to myself. The only time i say “I’ll think about it is when i am not interested and i want a polite way to get out of that situation.
Honestly i also have conformed to the society’s BS for a very long time even when i knew that the rules weren’t working out for me. Ok let me be clear, you see i have a resting “bitch face” and i walk like i have gold mines digging up in my back yard which makes it hard for people (men i like) to approach me because i come across as mean, don’t fuck with me (OK this one is true) and snobby wheres i am the opposite of that so for people to get to know me i have to approach them and actually talk to them (as hard as it may be for me).
However i also understand that some men are trash and idiotic they may take this opportunity to play you instead of politely telling you they are not interested in you when they not which is OK by the way.
Rejection….Yes! sometimes things don’t go how we would like for them to and we don’t get what we want but Oops are better than What Ifs. We just have to take the leap of faith and Y.O.L.O (i can’t believe i just said that, i never say YOLO).
I know that putting yourself out there can be very challenging but we grow from taking risks and learn from our mistakes. You like someone? tell them, life is too short we honestly don’t know what the future holds.
What is your take on this subject? men how do you feel about women shooting their shot? let me know .
