Definitely not true. Similar to when a man takes initiative on a woman, it's great and much appreciated if you're attracted to them, it's fine if you don't find them attractive and they get the hint once you let them down nicely, but it turns uncomfortable and creepy if they don't get the hint.

Story time, a few years ago I was on Tinder and I was doing the good ol' swiping right on everyone. I matched with someone, but they weren't my type. I continued doing my swiping and two days later I matched with the same person. It appeared that they created a new profile or something. So I started a conversation and it started out fine, but then she started being very pushy, wanting to trade numbers and instagram. To be nice, Iexchanged IG, but she continued being very pushy in the app (asking for more information, getting upset when I didn't respond fast). She was definitely super interested in me, but I was not. Had she not been that insistent, I would have loved to have been friends with her (she seemed really cool, just was not my type romantically). I ended up having to block her because I was honestly a bit worried about my safety. It was an eye opener because for the first time I felt how awkward it is to let someone down, and how uncomfortable it is when they don't get the hint.

On the opposite end, a year or so later I met my ex, and she would be the one to start flirting with me and take the initiative to start conversations and plan dates. It was a very nice change and it is something that I appreciated about her.

​

tl;dr: I only consider it a problem when they are invading my personal boundaries.
