Have We Confused "Responsible and Reserved" With "Boring and Scared?"

Why is it so hard for women to follow their heart? Why is that when most men see or find a woman they think is more interesting then the one they are currently dating, they have no problem dropping one and going for the other? Meanwhile, most women will secretly have a crush on or believe another man could be better for them than there current boyfriend, but will never do anything about it. Is it because we are scared of hurting our significant others feelings? Do we value their well being more? Are we such strong lovers that we let our men become more important than ourselves? Are we afraid of bad decisions or are too damn cautious? I wish we could be more outgoing and limitless instead of limited and reserved. What is the consistent hold back of our fun drive?  I say "we" because I admit I have this problem as well. I admire women who live life like there's no tomorrow. I'm not suggesting we jump around to every man we find attractive. However, if you truly have feelings for someone other than your mate, why keep those feelings to yourself? Especially, if you have to think twice about whether or not your guy would do the same for you. Sadly, this does not only apply to men with us. Ladies, we do this all the time. We are cautious about our men, jobs, even our choice of style, clothing and hair. We seem to always have this long, drawn out, decision making, process before we change something in our lives. Don't be afraid to tell your guy you would like an open relationship, don't be afraid to quit your day job and start that business you've always wanted, and don't be afraid to cut all your hair off, color it blonde and wear that bright red dress. Go for it, you only have one life to live. Don't be the girl next door, be the women with the flirty hair-cut wearing the sexy red dress! I promise it will be liberating.
