there's just a fine line you have to draw when it comes to "chasing" and "showing interest". i'm always careful to make sure i don't come off as chasing because, frankly, i don't like to. i think it's bullshyt, there are plenty of other worthwhile things to chase after, things that are easier and things that are more beneficial to me. plus, it puts me at the disadvantage because i feel like i have to convince, persuade, and possibly even trick just so i can get what i want. but if i gotta beg, i don't want it because the truth is they don't want me either if it takes all that. and if they do want me and they let me do all that, i wouldn't want to be with a person making me jump hoops. even if it's a hit and quit situation. it takes away from enjoying the moment because you're so focused on the future. but i'm constantly trying to reconcile the differences between chasing and showing interest because you're gonna have to show interest at the very least. there are few instances where i didn't have to show much interest to get a girl but if you wait on those instances, you're going to be waiting for a little while because you can never tell when it'll happen. besides, you're gonna have to wait for a woman that's willing to chase a man (which doesn't happen too often)...
