As a person who has been in both roles, I would call this extremely sound advice. I had no idea how important it was for a man to make the first move and chat me up until I was a single female. I learned so many of these lessons you described post transition. While I don’t regret being bad at dating before transition, but I am glad to affirm these ideas post transition. I will also add that I’m a bit more empathetic to some men’s clumsy approach simply because I’ve been there. Men should get points for at least making the attempt. If he’s nervous or awkward, so much the better. If a guy is too slick, that’s a danger sign. ‘Charming is alarming!’
