Then all of a sudden I said, ‘ What if you want to get married?’ And I kind of went from there to asking him if he would marry me. I asked him... He said no because he thought it wasn’t the right way to do it.” It’s difficult to spot womens’ first move. They rely on gestures such as frequent eye contacts, a smile, brushing their hair, hanging on to every word of the conversati­on and laughing more often while talking to a man. They would then wait for the man to make his move. Feminine moves are well covered, so it becomes difficult for men to identify them.

But, in today’s world where women are walking hand-in-hand with men, the first moves from females could be just compliment­s or other friendly gestures and nothing more. However, some women might initiate bold conversati­ons, which some men find attractive. At the same time it could be a turn off for some.
