I know plenty of women that initiate the first move but I think in general woman like to be pursued. Yes, some woman love the drama involved in playing games but it's most likely the fact we do not want to come off as being too aggressive or 'slutty'. Since each encounter with someone is different it really depends on the two people. I have a question for you. How do you come across to women? Are you shy? Are you over confident? It can be the way you are coming across to them. If you are shy, you may be coming across as uninterested. If you are over confident, you may sending off a vibe that intimidates women. If no women ever make the first move and this bothers you I would suggest taking a step back and take a look at how they may be viewing you. I'm not saying you're a jerk or anything like that I just think you may be giving off an unapproachable vibe that you're not even aware of.

It would be unfair to say that women never make the first move but yes, the norm is that men are expected to take the initiative. The primary reason for this may sound too crude, almost Neanderthal at its core, but to be honest, this is something that is inbuilt within the human psyche. No matter how progressive we get as a society, some basic traits that have seeped into our minds through centuries of evolution cannot be overridden. Thus, consciously or sub-consciously, men still look upon themselves as the dominant partners. I believe that women who have had the opportunity of dating men over a period have realized this fact. They have also understood that by allowing men to ask them out, they indirectly stimulate this primal feeling, deep-rooted in every man’s psychology.

Further, some women are just too inhibited to make the first move. They consider it might be interpreted as being sexually aggressive or as a sign of desperation. On the other hand, some women are just coy — the very thought of beginning a conversation which has a hint of romantic liaison makes them too anxious to take things further.

There is a minor percentage of women who are beyond all these reasons — those who play the waiting game on purpose. These women derive a certain degree of pleasure by gradually nudging men towards asking them out. They look forward to the ‘in-between’ period as a challenge or as a turn-on wherein in making subtle, suggestive moves to indicate that they are ready to be ‘asked out’. Understandably, when they are eventually asked-out, it is looked upon as a personal accomplishment.
