Most people say, claim and believe that men should do the chasing at first in order to get a girl. We all know that what normally happens is that the tables turn when the relationship commences such that the gals do the chasing thereafter. Although this is a lingering fact, there is also much proof to the effectiveness of  the contrary.

If a man really loves a woman, he would not let the tables turn to the woman’s disadvantage.

As usual, I’ve been there, done that (I don’t know for how many times already).

Applying a little political science theory here, I realized that there should be a balance of power between the two parties. If the guy gets too much advantage where the gal allows him to take absolute control (and vice versa), here arrives the problem.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. - Sir John Dalberg-Acton

There should always be equitable respect, equitable love, equitable whatnot. Do not be a meek objector, but a persistent one and silence will be misinterpreted as consent. If you allow him to always have things his way, you will begin a trip to a slippery slope and a lose-lose situation.

I don’t know how this affects my post, but I still believe that a guy should have a better say with regard to matters concerning the relationship (and with good reason!).

Anyway, I think it could be reconciled in a way where the girl should be submissive, but not submissive enough to grant the guy the totality of decisions. Like I always say, it is a two-way street. Maybe in the two-way street, the guy has two lanes and the girl has one… it really doesn’t matter as long as it is two-way. Once it becomes one-way, then expect an impending doom to your relationship.
