Is chasing only reserved for the men?

The society says men should be the initiators in a relationship. Should the men be the sole initiators or can anyone make the first move? As a lady, when a man piques your interest do you wait for him to make a move or do you go after him? 

Is there anything wrong with a woman chasing the man she wants? Or do the men just naturally love the thrill of the chase? 

I think a lot is wrong with that chase of a thing. I don’t think that there should be any sort of chasing from either direction and neither should there be a hard to get play. To chase after means to pursue someone sexually or romantically. I don’t think anyone would prefer for someone to ignore him/her; like some sort of mind game teenagers play with each other. 

Who enjoys trying too much for someone who doesn’t even try a little bit? 

Chasing after someone is scheming and manipulating someone to like you more, to feel differently about you. You decide a fantasy and believe there’s a reward in the future for getting the person you’re chasing after. You’re tireless in your effort to win them over. Sometimes it would feel like you’re just one step away from getting the person to like you, you will think you need to push just a little bit harder for the person to finally get it and want you back. You chase to the point where you are worn out. 

Relationship should be like friendship. You didn’t have to chase after your friends, you didn’t have to work too hard to connect with them. You found each other and decided to stick around. When you’re meant to be friends, everything fall into place. 

Relationship should be that less complicated. When you give out a vibe, someone with the same energy should respond positively to your advances because there’s genuine attraction between the two of you. Playing all the mind games- the chasing and the hard to get- doesn’t guarantee a good relationship. 

So ladies, there’s no need to be scared that a guy would lose interest because you’re making it easy for him. Interest will only be lost if one or both parties is inauthentic. That’s not to say that you should throw away your morals. No, be the real you and attract who wants the real you. There’s no need for all the pretend and manipulation. 

And there’s nothing wrong in a lady being the first to show interest in a man; but when you’re not the one that he wants, when he is not returning the gesture, take a bow. It’s not an invitation to prove him wrong. Forget about the idea that chasing is for strong women who want to take control of the relationship and get what they want, you will appear as a  desperate girl running after a boy. Relationship takes two to work, communication works both ways. Deep down you will always know, you will always know when you are sticking around, when you are not treated the way you deserve; when someone makes it look like giving you some attention and affection is a favor from them. So you will always know when it’s not meant to be. 

Be honest to yourself, else you might lose a lot of your time and self esteem chasing after someone who doesn’t want to be caught; worse- chasing someone who is chasing someone else.

Do you still think that there's something special about a man chasing after a woman?
Or that the woman can't be the first to indicate interest?
