Woman texting making first move?

Is it desperate for a woman to make first move by texting a man? Both have children and in 30’s. Hmm

Not in 2019, no.

So many things never happen because nobody makes a move. Don’t become one of those people, go for it!

I asked my dh out and I've never been shy in asking guys out, they almost always said no but I got a good one now :)

I wouldn't. Let them take the risk. We have to do everything else. Do it if you want to, of course. Nothing wrong with it.

I’ve made the first move on more than one occasion when it comes to sex too. And proud of it.

One of the biggest failings of the human race is not telling others what we would like.

NO we don’t HAVE to do everything else We can chose not to. We just guilt ourselves into doing stuff. (Just is perhaps unfair here given social expectation)
If later he is happy with a bit of dust and you are not, blame your own expectations not him. With a good man, All of these things can be solved through communication. So if you want a good relationship, start how you mean to go on. Communicating,

Not desperate at all, what makes a woman texting first 'desperate' as opposed to a man making the first move which isn't desperate? It's just really silly, you don't need to come straight out and ask him out if you don't feel confident, chat via text for a bit first. The worst thing that can happen when you ask someone out is they say no, and it's really not that terrible.

Sweet Jesus.

What sort of brazen hussy are you! Thinking of texting a man first!!!

When I was dating recently I often had messages/texts from women, it didn't cross my mind that it was unusual. My partner of nearly a year made the first approach, a rather bold Tinder message.

Get the text sent, he may say no or just maybe, he might be an amazing guy who thinks your not even interested.
