Hey nonnie!
I don't think I understand? What is the battle between? Because making a first move has little to do with dominance or extroversion if that is what you're talking about? One could feel a surge of bravery, the other could try and protect his heart. There are so many variables that could create a moment like making a first move or deciding not to make the first move. Think about past relationships, childhood, emotions, momentary circumstances etc. I'm sorry if I get it wrong because I'm trying to guess what you mean but feel like I'm failing to do so 😅
Also, the skinnydipping, we don't know who made that decision.
What it would mean? I don't know nonnie 😊 That the other guy beat him to it? That Misha has insecurities? That he wasn't sure what the other guy meant? That he wasn't ready to let people in so he never made a first move? That the other guy just thought: Oh hell, I know you like me, I'm just gonna kiss the living daylight out of you? It could mean anything or nothing I guess 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry for this useless answer but thank you for the ask!
