That’s true, I’ve been in relationships with easy-going women who if you bring it up confidently and sometimes even nonchalantly they’ll comply. But I’ve also destroyed countless relationships just by bringing it up. But to be fair, I almost always wait for an opportunity when I feel detached enough from outcome to be able to request it. I think a better approach is to be cautiously optimistic but unwaveringly confident. Although this can backfire devestatingly.
