I guess it depends if you wanna work on the relationship or have more of an easy turn-key type business.

I’m ok leading a conversation at times. However there’s usually a question asked and after an honest answer it goes south. I used to lead with only ask questions you’re willing to accept an honest answer to. I’m open and like to chat to pass the time but be open enough to know you may not like everything someone you’re chatting with does.

I think it’s great when both are capable of leading a conversation, doesn’t matter who demonstrates that first. It’s a positive sign if the relationship does progress beyond the getting to know each other stage.

If I'm having a conversation and the other person isn't contributing to it all that much, that makes me think they're disinterested in the conversation. Conversation is a skill and nobody's naturally good at it. Just try to do your best.

Not if that’s what makes you more comfortable. There may be situations where the worst that happens is that it reveals incompatibility with a young man, if that’s not what makes him comfortable. People are different.

I think that’s not really gender specific and more of a personality thing.

conversation is kind of a lost art - we can chat all day online - but often have a hard time talking in person

I don't mind leading but it has to go 2 ways..

I just switch off otherwise.

Not asking to much at all. Means there is a better chance of communication during the relationship (if one happens)

There is nothing wrong with that if it is important to you.

Why not just be yourself?

Yes. There's no reason men should be any more required to carry a convo than women.

Men know that a woman's greatest ability is to talk non stop, just let him have it.

Everything that system scripts is wrong, blocked it's signal and rebuke it's leader, using it's chosen fiction phrase only for that purpose, to call it on crimes against humanity

I think it’s a feminine thing
