Women are just now starting to be more forceful when something happens, and that's a good thing..
For too many decades men have called the shots and it's now time for women to step up, and take more control..
Our culture sent so many mixed messages.. women/girls were taught to be demure/ladylike, which put all the pressure on guys to step up and "make the first move".. We all know how easily misunderstood things can get.. a cute girl smiles at a guy and HE may think that's an invitation for him to move in..It may just have been a friendly smile..
It's a RARE thing for a male-female friendship that has not at some time been "confused".. Many guys will accept the friend thing if they think it's working up to more, and many times the girl truly just wants to be friends. Most guys figure it out after a few embarrassing fumbles, but that usually ends the friendship.
