Italian term or phrase: meglio essere cercato che attivarsi personalmente
Никак не получается сделать перевод конца фразы гладким.

Он не считает себя «разиней»???, но тогда ему казалось, что лучше ждать, чем действовать.???

Ricorda prima esperienza con una ragazzina, in Inghilterra dove si recò un'estate per studiare: in college legò con un gruppo di italiani e venne attratto da questa persona, anzi dice che fu lei ad essere prevalentamente attratta da lui. Commenta che in genere andò avanti cosi fino a vent'anni: erano le ragazze a essere più spigliate, non si considera "un'addormentato", ma si rendeva conto che era meglio essere cercato che attivarsi personalmente.
