Lol.. It's actually the opposite if we're being honest. Most ladies over here consider telling you that they like you as them shooting their highest level of "shots" and then it's left for the guy to take it from there.
If he doesn't, the lady does nothing and the whole thing just ends there even if they (the lady) doesn't want it to.
Personally, I feel weird for a lady to shoot the shot. Though I've had multiple bullets from ladies, it doesn't always work out.
It is better for a male to do the shooting, then both will work towards achieving a successful relationship.
The lady leaving it to die off means that she was acting as a result of fluctuations and not love. If she truly love the guy, she wouldn't leave the relationship entirely to the male but instead, she will understand that keeping a relationship is mutualistic and not one sided.
True, but you forget that they're not yet in a relationship. Which is why I said he should go ahead and tell her how he feels and not leave things to chance.
