Girls are mostly unwilling to initiate contact.
Most girls still come into online dating with the same sensibilities about dating that they do in the real world.
In the real world, most girls expect the guy to be willing to initiate contact and to do so.
For the most part, most girls have the same sensibilities when they start online dating.
Indeed, there are some girls who become more bold when they start online dating.
Some of these girls who would never have had the courage or willingness to initiate contact with a guy in the real world may do so when they start online dating.
Girls who do, have done or would do online dating who are willing to initiate contact in this way will typically do so with an interest signal.
They would rarely send out an actual written email.
Sending an interest signal helps to reduce the impact of rejection if they were not to receive a response from the guy.
The very few who do send written emails will often keep those messages very brief so as not to give off an air of desperation.
Hence, they may send generic short written messages like, “Hey there,” or “Hi.”
This being said, most girls who do, have done or would do online dating certainly prefer that the guy initiates contact.
Most people like to remain in their comfort zones when it comes to how they go about living their lives and what they believe in.
Dating is no different. By staying in their comfort zone as far as their approach to who should initiate contact, most girls remain within their element.
They are able to guard their emotions and protect themselves by so doing.
Now, for girls who do, have done or would do online dating, where they may find themselves truly being tempted to initiate contact is when they notice that a guy has repeatedly visited their online dating profile without initiating contact.
If they are very attracted to this guy and have checked out his online dating profile and really liked it, they may be tempted to initiate contact with him.
However, they may be unwilling to do this until they have noticed that the guy has visited their online dating profiles multiple times and is still yet to send them a message.
This is where they may break with their sensibilities when it comes to dating so that they can end this cycle.
The girl would seriously have to like this guy and what he had to say on his online dating profile in order for her to feel the need to break with tradition.
Even then, she may simply continue visiting this guy’s online dating profile whenever she has noticed that he has visited hers, just so that she can send the message to him that she is aware that he keeps visiting her online dating profile.
By doing this, she is hoping that he will eventually get the point and finally send her a message or initiate contact.
If he doesn’t get to this point, then and only then may she be willing to initiate contact with him, albeit reluctantly.
For girls who do, have done or would do online dating, the willingness to initiate contact often depends on what they have been experiencing over a sustained period of time on the online dating site.
If, for example, a girl has been on an online dating site for a while and she has mostly been getting a bunch of messages from guys who only care about her looks and rarely address anything that she has written about on her online dating profile, she may become incredibly tempted to finally initiate contact with a guy.
This is simply because her choices in the guys that have been messaging her have not been good.
A girl in this predicament will either ultimately break tradition and initiate contact with a guy of interest or she may simply delete her online dating profile entirely.
