There’s a belief that a woman should be chased, that she is the attraction, so the man must pursue her like a prize. But attraction is not an invitation to dramatics. Interest doesn’t require endurance tests. Adults who like each other don’t need to turn affection into a race.
Many women hold to the idea that a man must pursue aggressively because they were taught they are inherently “the catch,” and he must earn them. But entitlement is not femininity. And an emotionally healthy man doesn’t want to be in a relationship where his role is to chase someone who’s pretending not to want him.
If you truly like someone, playing hard to get becomes a liability. It muddies the waters. It teaches the other person to second-guess everything you say. Games create confusion, and insecurity, the opposite of what a relationship needs to thrive.
Attraction is natural. Alignment is deliberate. The chase is unnecessary. If it takes theatrics to build a connection, the connection already lacks foundation.
A simple yes has more power than a complicated performance.
