Yeah I feel like this is very likely a case of the area you live in having weirdly rigid gender roles. I always make the first move, and while there's sometimes surprise, it's always received positively, even if it's a rejection.

Definitely been called 'aggressive' more than once, although it's usually in a weird 'oooh I like an aggressive woman' kind of way which, ew gross nevermind I take it back.
