There's the old adage custom of a man always initiating a conversation instead of the woman.
But in today's time and age, do you feel that tradition should be foregone?
It doesn't necessarily have to be the men initiating the conversations all the time now. Can we see it happening from both sides or do people still expect that a man should initiate a conversation all the time?
We are after all, living in ever-changing times. |

Nice (& flattering) when a lady takes the initiative and breaks the ice. Takes away that horrible feeling that your own stumbling approach, would crash and burn.
I'm usually too shy to intiate a conversation. That's probably why the confident, outgoing, chatty types really float my boat. |

In the 21st century it shouldn't matter who initiates contact. Both genders can have people who are less outgoing than others. But perhaps one way to look at it is when a person who is shy/less confident initates contact they must feell that the other person is special enough to overcome those traits. |

I find that when I try and initiate contact on here it tends to be ignored / deleted / blocked (or combination thereof )
Much prefer to be contacted on the (bloody rare) occasions it happens - always nice to see that inbox icon light up unexpectedly  |

I would initiate a conversation with a man I was interested in both here and in real life but when I was younger I wouldn't have. I agree it shouldn't matter who starts a conversation, it's how it ends |

"i like it to be so easy, no one remembered who initiated what. i guess thats what you call a connection...
"
That is also a pleasant option - accidental encounters and conversation starters, which take you by surprise but evolve into something more. |
