Recently, a guy on my Twitter timeline tweeted about ''girls should no matter how hot they are, never ask a guy out, because he will lose interest and not like you again''.
I find it hard to understand or believe this statement. Is it referring to the lust aspect of things or just generally? Afterall, if you genuinely like someone, it wouldn't or shouldn't matter who ''makes the first move''. - especially when it's dependent or such a trivial thing as what sort of genital you have. :s
In reference to lust, i reckon it goes thus, ''I like the girl so, i will do a chase. There is a thrill to the chase and much excitement in it for me. When we have our adrenaline pumped and our hearts and the hearts of our genitals are beating fast and everything is peak, we will bring ourselves to an explosion/merging of bodies in my bedroom or mom's kitchen(where ever the hell we deem fit)''.
With this in mind(i hope you have put yourself in this guy's shoes), this guy plans on a chase but just as he's starting out, Sisi Eko or whoever, as the case may be, is already feeling the heat and is not in the mood for fronting, she makes her move. In essence, she has killed his chase/plot of his little fantasy which he was planning to bring to life(without her knowledge).
This is why he loses interest and possibly begins plotting for another hot tottie. If and when he finds the new bird, and she's the type that will play the chase game(since she's probably so frigging used to everyone saying ''never ask a guy out''.) When all is said and done, and there is no more thrill, guy's gonna leave innit? New girl will be heartbroken thinking *i wish* :p {In her mind, she musta been expecting Mr was going to trip, head over heels and they'd get hitched like Prince William and Catherine} :p *I couldn't resist the urge to write that* x_x
I think, in her shoes, her case is that of; ''dribbling the snails in the pot to eat the meat''.. might as well have gone straight for the ''meat''.(interpretation = she was going to date the bloke anyway, might as well have done that without the long chase first).
Back to my first point, if there is a true liking for someone, it really shouldn't matter who said the first ''i like you'' or who said ''lets go for coffee'' or in fact, who leaned in for the first lip-touching or tonguing (whatever cooks your beans/floats your raft). A case study of this is Dannii Minogue and her partner, Kris. She has mentioned well and clearly in the past that she made the first move, initiated the tonguing and blah blah. That was almost three years ago. They have a son now and are playing ''happy families''. Kris didn't lose interest because she made the first moves. His Twitter handle is @KrisSmith13 btw. *Fine man like this* choi! *now whispering* ..i would have made the first move if i were in her shoes. Forget the fact that Danni is a public figure, I have also heard about everyday people(yes, Nigerian girls too) who went for it and they got what they wanted and are happy with their partners.
Now, this is just my view/opinion. I really don't think asking someone out should have to do with your gender. I personally do not enjoy ''the chase'' i think it's annoying and pointless(all the attitude giving and dramatic head shaking and ''no'', i'm not cheap b.s talk..)
I will like to know what you think about it. Is it just in a few cases that the woman going for the kill will work, not diverting from the norm that ''The man is a lion, he should hunt for prey(woman)?'' or am i completely right? ''Gender should not be the determinant factor of who does the ''hunting'' ....I'm not in any way saying that women should do the chase and be begging for the dude's number and begging for a date(i'm ROTFL)..that'll be awfully bizarre. I will never do this, because, of course, my pride.
We're living in a world where constant change is key and limitations aren't based on one's gender anymore..If a guy can make the 1st move..I don't see why a girl cant..Point is: Be true to yourself and don't wallow in regret when u could have done something..
