"May I ask a question? I have been texting a little while with a man from Match.com. I have been out of town for a few days and I came home last night and I discovered that he texted me a couple of times. I met a musician yesterday and he posted on my Facebook account that he hope he still has a shot and can meet up. I replied "I would like that :)." No response for almost 24 hours. Then he texts, "Just let me know." I replied, "I would like that :)." He then replied "I meant just let me know when." I am already getting frustrated! Is this wrong? I do not understand why I am the one in charge of making the date. I am a woman and want to be asked out. What am I missing? " Anonymous Woman
Free Dating Advice From Karla

Secondly, always remember that boys, not men, will be confused about how to approach a woman. Men will always be motivated and will act accordingly, ie. ask you out and lead the effort. Lastly, and most importantly, you are only in charge if you allow yourself to be in charge. Just wait until the men, not boys, come on the scene. Men will make the right moves and know precisely what to do. There are some guys, not all, that are inexperienced with dating and come off as clueless with dating etiquette.
