Ladies asking out

"Yo, am I the only one noticing that a lot of dudes these days seem scared to make the first move? Feels like it’s mostly on girls to shoot their shot now. Not saying it should be this way, but that’s just what I’ve been seeing.

Like, are guys overthinking it, trying way too hard not to come off as creepy or pushy?

For context, I’ve been asked out quite a few times myself, but there was one time I was into someone for a while—I confessed my feelings but never actually asked her out.

What’s the deal? Is this a new thing, or am I tripping? Thoughts?"
