Do women only show interest after the guy has shown first?

Like do they wait for the guy to show interest first so they feel more comfortable showing thier feeling for him? Because I haven't shown much emotion to girls , and I haven't had any girls show interest in me. Is it because I'm not showing my interest in them? Do you have any answer? Help this guy?

It usually is the woman that shows interest first. The feelings are not there in the first place - you just like the person. They grow on you once you spend time together. I would recomend you study the book The Game, by Neil Strauss.

I have been a witness to many young love, to many of those playing the fields of courting and falling in love. Now a days, girls are not that timid about how they feel for a guy. They make the first move sometimes if the boy could not do it. Sometimes making the first move, gives the guys some push. My little observations now is girls do not wait anymore. if they like the guy, they send notions that if the guy has intentions, it's very very welcome to them!

I don't know if my experience would be worth anything or not, but I will tell you anyway. I usually waited for a guy to show interest in me, but I was such a loner that I didn't know how to accept affection from anyone. As I reached adulthood, I still found that I waited for the guy to show interest even if I was interested in him. It seemed (at least when I was younger) that all the guys I was interested in were either married or were priests so they couldn't get married so I didn't express interest. The two times I showed interest in guys, they got scared or something because they went out of my life because "they didn't want to hurt me". Both had been married before and had kids. Now I have decided it is not worth it. I think that if you are interested in someone, you should make it known to her. If she is not interested, the worst that could happen is she could say no. But nothing ventured nothing gained.

yes, of course. For me it always works like that we showing interest with her first and see if they will respond it back or not, if yes go ahead but if not at least you have tried Good luck for you:)

No actually. If i really like some guy and the guy shows no response, I go and confess. But even after I do that and the guy shows no response, then it's goodbye.

no.. atleast in my opinion. i mean some girls are more comfortable when a guy shows some signs that he's interested so she doesnt make a huge fool of herself,.. you know if shes the shy type then yeah she'll wait for you to make the first move.. or if shes the type thats confident and she'll take her own approach

Yes I am that type. I feel comfortable getting involved with someone who shows interest on me. Otherwise I feel very ashamed.... Blessings!... Dainy

Love is a two street and someone has to initiate, as for my observations, I have seen it equally initiated by either the male and or female.

You are interested in living the most helpful life you can. That doesn't change, whether you're single or dating a nymphomaniac. If you become possibly interested in a girl (and/or if you pick up the hint that she might be interested in you), you start being more-helpful to her. Think of Superman: he SAVES the whole world, but he only LOVES Lois Lane.

Gals will never propose anything first.First we only want to show the interest.They will have but they will not show this out even they will not show to their friends too.. But not guys they will immediately tell to their friends about the interest... Its nature...

Traditionally, yes. But this is a new generation, and women have grown generally wilder than the women of the past generations. Therefore, more women show it all even before men do.
