Yes, I've found it works. Like I say evan Marc katz is very good. I tend to agree with a lot he says, even though a lot used to be counter intuitive at first.
A few comments to replies:
I sit back and let them ask me, they do all the calling and initiating at first. I am always 'very pleased to hear from them' but I don't initiate. Doing this they want the date far more. I don't get stood up or flakes or No shows anymore as they had to earn it. As a result it's the prize they have worked for. Men don't value what they don't work for.
If they are not communicating well at the beginning it doesn't bode well for the future. It's supposed to be the part where they are acting their best. If I hadn't had confirmation of a date I would not call them to find out if it was on. I would do something else instead. They always come back and try again but it's usually too late by then, unless they had a major and genuine issue, they lost their chance. My time is valuable and I deserve it to be respected. Boundaries and standards.
I will of course suggest things I like to do but not directly, good men listen and will want to impress you and surprise you. It works better that way. And then I am very pleased and thank them for their efforts. But I still don't initiate. Until exclusivity and a proper relationship is established.
By not chasing you hold the power. You get to choose what happens but it makes them think they have it. Simple but true. Doesn't mean you act aloof or mean or bitchy, happy and fulfilled and thankful for their time and efforts yes. But men pursue and hunt. It's nature.
Bit pushed for time but that's about it I think.
