Not at all. I refuse to do it, in fact. If I ask someone once, and they say no, I'm not coming back to the well. Plenty of fish out there. I can't stand the people at work that constantly ask the same people out over and over and over again. Fantastic way to get a sexual harassment suit!

Some of the women at work have done that to me, so I brought in a bunch of pictures of my girlfriend and put them on my desk. Since, this behavior has actually increased.

I was wondering why the women were coming after you.

Usually tall guys attract women like a moth to the flame.

I would love to not game play and just relax and go with the flow, but too many men are just looking for sex to do that.

I personally don't care for the chase. If someone catches my interest and I think there's some interest on her part, I'll certainly pursue her. But if it feels like she's playing hard to get or making me jump through hoops to prove my worthiness, I'll move on. Games are for kids. Adults value their time and don't like having it wasted. The problem is too many women still expect to be chased and when the guy doesn't, they just assume he isn't into them. More likely, the guy has decided she isn't worth the effort and/or he's met someone else who doesn't treat him that way. It still amazes me that in this day and age where we have women CEOs, presidents, etc. that some women still expect the guy to come after them. So much for equality of the sexes.

New day, new morning...read the OP again and some of the answers and I guess I was thinking of a different kind of chase, or perhaps I've never had a loooong chase. I might have to chase or get to know someone for a short time, but usually get them where I want them. Now if we are talking weeks and nothing....nah. I will move on. So in that instance, no chase for me. Unless of course I am getting what I want from a girl or two or three etc...and continue chasing others...then it does not matter as much, but there is still a cutoff period. But now that I am not single...the thought of a chase is interesting from time to time....even if it is "wrong".

Also, initial eye contact does not lie. Learn to determine what your dealing with from across a room within 3 seconds. Don't look at the smile, the eyebrow raise, the legs, nothing... Women cannot control what happens within the first few seconds of first time eye contact!

They ALL do one of two things...learn what those two things are and go from there.
Nah man, it was all a question. I'm not going to read a book on how to get women. That's so corny.

After all, the Hard-To-Get Princess Act is fun and cute for all about three weeks. Then most men with self-respect pull themselves up and say, "Wait a minute. The rest of my life could be like this with her." And they run like a scalded dog as fast as they can.

The funny thing was that, once you got tired of it and blew them off, how quickly they changed their tune.
Not only that, they are probably posting comments about how desperate you are and that there must be some "hidden flaw"!
