Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.

If a guy is intimidated by a woman in leadership he has real problems with his own concepts of masculinity. That's a harsh statement but I believe it to be true.

But as I was saying from my experiences I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.
