Am I the only one who thinks the word chase is vile.
I don't want a man to 'chase' me, I want something mutual and reciprocal. It's on here all the time, people proudly proclaiming their man chased them for weeks, initiated and planned every date, turned up with flowers and so on.
The same people would rather die than double text or initiate anything first with a man. I've had friends absolutely horrified that I had asked men out because apparently that's their job.
I'm not advocating anybody chases anybody, but I think trying hard with someone who clearly isn't interested is a waste of time.
People who have this idea about traditional gender roles, I'd like to know if that continues throughout the relationship too? Are the women expected to do most of the domestic chores because that's the woman's job?
I really don't believe that every man loves the chase. Certainly some do, but that's them.
Also, once he's 'won' his prize, do you then show more interest and affection once he knows he's got you? Will he not get bored once the chase is over?
Honestly I'm single so what do I know, but I'd rather do so than partake in this chase bullshit.
