Its like dating, if the other party is interested in you, they will reach out. By reaching out to them, you may look like a desparate, which can lower your chances during negotitation stage (that would point them that you are only in a process with them). Unless you are involved in more than one process that you try to keep in sync (useful for negotiation strategy) I would not reach out first.
