Even in the days of the youth of mothers and grandmothers, it was considered indecent for a girl to take the initiative - to be the first to approach and get acquainted, and even more so to call a young man. The dogma was the phrase: "Modesty beautifies." Modern emancipated women have long ceased to follow the Domostroev foundations, considering them to be hypocrisy and a waste of time. However, young people who are inclined to a serious relationship still think about whether to call first or give a man an opportunity to show his interest?
It is worth noting that women of past generations, to some extent, found it easier to navigate behavioral models. And the relationship itself was interpreted somewhat easier. Men, like women, perceived relationships through the prism of love and were convinced that they should look for their only beloved. Attention and courtship, kissing and, even more so, sex meant a logical continuation - a strong and long marriage.
Despite the fact that the old stereotypes have long outlived themselves, and women have managed to equalize in rights with men, ladies are still embarrassed to call the first to a new pretty acquaintance.
Fortunately, this step is no longer perceived as something immoral and unnatural. Modern people are constantly busy with something - work, study, sports, meetings, something else. It is quite possible that a man will be glad of the initiative shown by the girl, since he simply does not have enough free time to find his beloved and long courtship. In addition, men like it if a girl calls first, because this once again flatters his pride and confirms his irresistibility and attractiveness. Moreover, her call is a signal that the relationship is more likely to develop.
For a girl who shows the telephone initiative, the main thing is not to become intrusive and not to overstep her pride. If you decide to call the first, and the young man promised, but called back, draw conclusions and throw him out of your head. He's just not interested in you.
Of course, it can be difficult for a girl to decide on the first call, if only because she does not always know how to start a conversation. By the way, the same reason often prevents a man from dialing her phone number. But you can and should call, because there are situations when a man loses your number or remembered it incorrectly, when a man does not have the time or determination to call first, when he thought that he did not impress you or was not worthy of such a girl, etc. And here it turns out to be completely unimportant who first called. The main thing is that it happened and aroused mutual interest. So, it is quite possible that another happy couple will be formed very soon.
