Men often complain that they're always the ones who have to the first move for sex and they'd appreciate us jumping on them (or at least showing a bit of initiative once in a while). So take the plunge and let him know you're up for it. Sometimes a long look and a knowing smile is enough to get the message across...

But at other times we do need to be a bit more explicit. Try whispering: "I want you" covertly in his ear while you're out with friends, sending him a cheeky text message at work, or letting your hands wander all over him while you're watching TV, to make your intentions crystal clear! And don't forget that a long, deep, lingering kiss is the first step to a passionate encounter.   

Our advice: Choose the right moment to be the one to make the first move. If he's just had a run-in with his boss, he's probably not going to be in the mood. If he's glued to the Cup Final, it's a no-no: don't ever try and compete with football. When you sense he's calm, receptive and relaxed, take the opportunity to show him you're happy to make the first move.
