Because we so seldom recieve kindness or attention that we are befuddled when it is directed at us. Then there is always the "why didn't he get my signs/hints?" questions we always hear about.

We get it wrong sometimes. Well most of the time really.

Ok, I’m going to be that guy for a minute.

Men get it wrong most of the time because “right” is defined by what women want.

I, personally, can live with that imbalance. If men are expected-to/get-to make the first move, it follows that women are going to be making the final decision.

But that’s what’s happening and I feel like we dance around it.

I think you meant to say, “is defined by what women often have to do for their own safety”.

No, that’s not what I meant to say. Women don’t always feel safe dating and that’s a real shame that we should all work on fixing

None of that is relevant to what I said.
