Your not realizing the point. Yes, of course if you like someone you must show interest and give it the "ole college try". But from what "some" people are alluding to is that they will not continue to chase someone who is not reciprocating the same interest. I am the same way. Although I am not single. If I were and I expressed interest in someone and didn't get anything in return,--poof, I'm gone. Done. Aint gonna waist my time no more. I always felt that if the person was the right person for you, their like or interest would be mutual. If a woman wants a chase, go play tag or something. I've got better things to do than beat a dead horse.

Plus, personally my ego is too big to chase like some hapless yap. I have to much pride. Although some would call that a sin, it is what it is..If you have to try to convince someone to like you, than they probably don't like you. It's a different generation today. Women pursue just as well as men. So this idea (old albeit) that the man must court and chase, blah, blah, blah is just rubbish..

Eh. I'm not much of an initiator nor pursuer.


If a woman wants me, I'm not difficult to find.

You chase something....it tends to run away from you. Not towards you.

So if a woman is interested but she doesn't make it happen, wouldn't she be sending the very same message?

There are women who think that if a guy doesn't approach them it means they are intimidated. Thing is that maybe the guy simply doesn't like how they look, how they are, OR BOTH. But I guess it makes women feel better to say that the guy was intimidated, shy, etc.

Or the guy isn't getting any type of sign that the woman is interested in him.

Or the guy isn't into middle school games where she sends hints, clues, sends a messenger to tell him, plays with her hair, etc. and instead wants a woman who will be more straight/direct, or verbal about it.
