To Dr-Zhenya-Kiril: I agree! That is a very nasty attitude and should be discouraged when possible.

To Selay47: I'm actually not speaking from experience here. I haven't had a problem where I wanted more than the girl did. In fact I've only been really interested in about 3-4 girls in my life. I usually just hang out with them and get to know them before I decide if I really want to be with them romantically. I've only decided I wanted to take that step once.

Also I'm starting to think that I may be totally inaccurate in thinking that I need someone else to take the initiative. I think I'm just very self critical and constantly tearing myself down and so I think I'm less confident and capable than I actually am. I say this because I recently had a few very intense and stressful argument's that I handled with composure and confidence, something I normally would say I couldn't do.

That's good to know. If you were their friend before you decided that you were romantically attracted to them then you aren't a 'Nice Guy', you are just nice guy. I'm sure you'll do fine; everyone likes confidence, and they like a nice guy with confidence far more than a jerk with confidence.

There are three types of nice guy and one type of jerk; and one of those 'Nice Guys' is just a jerk without confidence.
