This sub is about effective dating strategies and it has been proven time and time again that asking men for their number, asking them out on dates, initiating texts with them, traveling to meet them instead of them coming to you, and splitting the bill -- they don't work if you want a relationship with a man who's crazy about you, provides, and is proud to have you as their girlfriend.

Initiating things with men makes you a pick-me and you should honestly just stick to /r/dating_advice if you want to feel empowered for "having the balls to ask men out." It doesn't make you a queen. A queen is pursued by her king forevermore. She's confident in her desirability. She knows that men will come to her and will work for her, so she doesn't need to do the heavy lifting to move the relationship forward.

From now on, we will be deleting posts that don't follow our principles. If you believe in what we stand for, welcome to our community. If not, /r/dating_advice and /r/relationships are better subs for you.
