A woman has revealed how she plans to shake up her dating style after years of being “perpetually” single.
The unknown woman, 28, went to a UK parenting site mom to announce that she will now ask men out on dates because she’s tired of sitting around “hoping a guy will like me back.”
The bold step is to “take the first step” towards a man she likes so that she no longer has to entertain those who are not at all interested in her.
Asking the forum if her fearless demeanor could be considered too “brazen” or “masculine,” many women replied that this was exactly how they found their husbands.
“I’m ready to take the first step,” she wrote. “Whenever I see a guy I like, I’ve always been advised to sit down and let him notice me and let him ask me out.

“It left me 28 years old and perpetually single. I’ve only been asked out by men I’m not interested in at all and don’t want to know.”
She said that was enough, as it was finally time to step up and take a “straight step” if she had any hope of a budding romance.
She continued, “How can I do this without looking brash and masculine?”
“For people who are already married, did you decide that you loved each other from the start or did one person chase the other and then the other person gradually started to love the other person too?”
She urged others to share anecdotes of how their relationships began, with many revealing to have initiated the romance “multiple times”.
One person advised, “You don’t have to worry about it. Who told you that being assertive and open was “masculine”? It’s horribly sexist.
“Married long enough now. I approached my husband, I had an excuse! I flirted, he kissed me so a mixture. But I’m not a shy, withdrawn flower.
Consistent with that, another person said they texted her current husband, “I’ve taken the first step many times, including with my current husband.
The bold step is to “take the first step” towards a man she likes so that she no longer has to entertain those who are not at all interested in her.
“I just texted him and asked him if he wanted to go on a date someday, and he said yes, so I threw a party!”
Another suggested the poster enhances her flirting skills: “Non-verbal communication is a crucial part of that image. How’s your flirting going?
Meanwhile, a person revealed that she asked her soon-to-be husband for both a date and his contact number, adding ‘even though I brought a friend’.
A user has prepared a script for the woman to take with him: “Would you like to go for a drink or a meal soon? And yes, I mean a “date” type thing. »
They added: “If you’re even more enthusiastic, you can just suggest going straight to the next step.
“No man will be insulted, except maybe the weirdos who have a thing for open, forward-thinking women. In that case, congratulations, you just eliminated an idiot in seconds.
