As a 29F this question is primarily targeted towards men. This is a broad question because of course it doesn't apply to everyone but it's happened A LOT. You match with a woman, start chatting, have decent conversation over the course of several days and then keep talking, and keep talking… Why aren't you actually asking the women out on a date? You've got to be equally exasperated by the growing collection of expired pen pals from apps.
For context, I have no issue asking a man out. However for our first date I PREFER the man to ask because that initiative is behavior I find attractive. Endless small talk with no intent to explore further? Not attractive. And perhaps its a bit nitpicky but if it gets to the point of having to explain or prompt that I want to go on an actual date I'm no longer interested.
