I think that men are conditioned to make more "first moves" than women are. I'm not sure whether that is genetic or from socialization.
The only problem with that mindset is that women who send signals that they wish to be pursued may not have men understand them. IMO, it's better to come out and say what you want... less chance of misinterpetation when you say exactly what you want. Shouldn't people be proactive about what they want?
I know of women who have missed out on relationships because they waited for a man to do something and the man didn't figure out he had a greenlight.
