So I have been dating for a while now. I usually stay off dating apps for a bit, but then go back to them.
I am usually quite proactive in planning things and thinking of things to do. However, recently I have been feeling quite mentally tired. I have a lot of things going on in my life, and I am starting to realise that even with my family and friends, I am always the more proactive one who makes things happen.
So this time, when dating, I decided that I wanted to find someone who takes more of a driver seat when it comes to things like that. I want to take more of a passenger seat.
However, something I have noticed is that a lot of the men I talk to always end up putting that on me, like: "I want to see you, what do you want to do?"
Sometimes they do not even propose a date. It will just be something like, "Let's see each other," and I am like, "Sure." So I ask what they were thinking, and the question goes back to me. Then I end up asking for his time, choosing the best day, looking for things to do, etc.
Am I asking for too much? I would like someone to just take the lead, propose some ideas, and make most of the plans. I am happy to check as well, but I do not want to be the one driving everything.
