Nope.

I think being forthcoming can put a woman in a position of vulnerability with a man.

Since I don't 'do' instant attraction, it usually takes me a while to work out whether I'm attracted to a man, and if I do the asking, I'm giving him pretty strong 'I like you' signals, which I'm always loathe to give out before I'm really sure if I do.

Likewise, if I am the one to move in for the first kiss and then I decide I hate it, it's much harder to back out, than if I have been the more passive partner.

It's my way of safe guarding myself and also the emotional safety of the man in question. I don't want to be unkind and 'lead him on', by behaving in a way that doesn't reflect my true feelings.
