So this is a question for you men on DS. Please bear with me because this might be long. I recently reactivated my account in a friendship and dating site in my country, which I joined a year ago when I realized that after my ex left I was once again "clueless" on how to meet people (that was a little before I became addicted to DS and ditched the other site!!). So, last week I visited this guy´s profile, which took a lot of courage for me since the site has this feature which lets you know who visits your profile. I liked this person´s profile because according how he describes himself we have a lot in common (hobbies, likes and dislikes, music...) and also because he was one of the very few who doesn´t have either an avatar photo at the beach, shirtless, striking a kind of "Calvin Klein ad" pose or a kind of an "ID" photo looking very serious with a tie and everything, looking 10 years older. I didn´t expect anything. On the next day, I was surprised to see a message from him, telling me he knows what is like to feel clueless as well and that he also has extreme tastes in music, just like me. I answered back, thanking him and making a joke about one of his comments, and he sent yet another message telling me that he hopes that I find everything I am looking for. I thanked him yet again and he sent me another message telling me that he is at my service. He hasn´t sent another message so far.

I really would like to get to know this person, but I´m really unsure about the "next step", so my question for you guys is: should I send him a message, just saying hi? would that be too straightforward or daring on my behalf? how do you feel when a woman contacts you? Thank you so much for reading so far!

    My ex wife is the one who asked me out on our first date, and I found that very refreshing, confident, and outright sweet on her part...I was very flattered & tickled...so that part was very good from my perspective...I think that if you made the next contact that you would be Ok...I don't think you would be forward at all...I always look forward to a woman contacting me, too...as long as you are yourself and show consideration and respect, all will be well...I would look into this possibility if a woman contacted me...good luck

    Write him back and say hi and just talk like you would with a friend. ("I hope you're having a great day, etc., etc."). It's not too forward. If you keep writing back and forth and he's interested, he'll ask you out.
