At the same time, there are just as many women out there who have no problem contacting a man first, or asking a man out, or even initiating a first kiss. With that being said, as a younger male, I can tell you from experience that I definitely prefer when the woman makes the first move. Men are extremely insecure, even though they put on a front of being confident and sure of themselves. The truth is, men would definitely like it if women made the first move. I should mention that perhaps my words should be taken with a grain of salt. I am not a normal 24 year old...I tend to be an old soul and traditionally minded in regards to a select few things. As a result of this, I tend to be attracted to women who are quite older than myself (30+).

The things you wondered about are also the things I wonder about. Is it better to send a note or should you send a flirt?
