Overall, I do think that knowing that the opening is there, so to speak, allows me to feel comfortable expressing interest. No opening, no interest.

Thank you for chiming in Clyde! I so appreciate your insights about being socialized as women-so true.
I think I understand but am curious to hear your thoughts as to why it is dangerous for a butch to make a move?
I really appreciate you sharing about the 'opening' that allows you to feel comfortable to express interest.
What kind of 'opening' is preferable and most appreciated by you? I hope other butches will join this thread and share as well!
