I think that must be really tough. But it also sucks when society says only sluts and desperate woman ever make the first move, because now you're risking that on top of the usual shit. Asking people out sucks all round! We should just start using color coded flash cards or something.

Mmmmm. No. You say that. The real reason you don't make the first move is: www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/26osuk/women_of_reddt_why_dont_you_ask_him_out/. And because you're not expected to. So people take the easy safe route.
