number of women who have carried out the research first move in their romantic experiences.
The research results show that actionfirst moves carried out by women based on anxiety about
feelings they have had for a long time and the desire to take control of the relationship, as well
as express interest or love for the man they like. This phenomenon also reflects social and cultural
changes in modern society which provide greater space for gender equality and women's
independence in matters of love. This research provides in-depth insight into the dynamics of love
