Do women lose interest if you don't make your move soon enough?

Hi there. I'm curious about something. I'm a keen observer of wimmins but don't have much experience with them. I was wondering if when you're getting to know someone, or even if you're simply acquaintances, she perhaps might be expecting you to make some sort of move or advance, or at least some kind of effort, and if you don't might she lose interest in you?

I ask because I have an acquaintance who's always been very friendly with me, but suddenly she's gone cold. Could it possibly be because she's simply given up waiting for me to make an effort? Do they do that? In my limited experience I've always just tried to be easy-going, given her time and just assumed that when she was comfortable things would just take their course. Does it not work that way?

Thank you very much indeedy.

How would you feel in her situation?

Were you waiting for her to make the first step from friends to something else?

Yes. They do.

In spite of decades of trying to change things, it's still expected that the man does most of the courting. A woman can send out 'signals', but that's not the same thing as 'making a move'.

Also she may have decided, since you didn't make a move, that you weren't interested. That's not quite the same thing as her losing interest.
