mindfful: ambrose from here you look like laurie partridge

or kay lenz


anyway hmmm women chase?

we are accused of chasing if we just say hello and are courteous - so i would say-um
both parties should do their part to be clear on intent

if the exchange isnt equal-but one is just hoping that will change....someone is gonna be hurt


How strange, E...because those two were ladies that I had UBER crushes on in my younger days....laugh

I agree with you about the "clear on intent" part, my friend, and the "hoping the other is gonna change" thing as well....handshake hug wave

There are still many women who are old fashioned and believe that men should do the chasing, paying. etc. That's fine. On the other hand, times have changed immensely since "equal rights for women". I believe if there is someone who has really caught your interest, there's nothing wrong with letting it be known. I'm not so sure any pursuit should get to a "chasing" point. I would think either male or female would know if the interest is being reciprocated after a certain amount of time of talking and getting to know one another. I also feel with high cost of living and such, that it's only fair for the woman (if working) to pay for dinner out once in awhile as well. That's jmo.

So, in other words, I say go for it!

peppai: So you find it fun to being chased by a woman?

If I'm counting correctly that's two .. Lago and you



Dogs chase things, and rather indescriminately too. Balls, cats, frisbees, cars and other dogs. I'm not a dog.laugh

Not interested in having women chase me either. If there's someone I have an interest in, I'll let them know, and they show an interest, then we can take it from there. There's nothing wrong with a woman expressing interest in a man, but the whole idea of chasing sounds like a load of BS to me.roll eyes
I haven't expressed interest in many women in my entire life, unless it was just as friends, and I do agree with being friends first. It's a good idea to get to know one another before you start jumping into the sack together, professing undying love and proposing marriage.laugh

I am totally shocked...... love should come AFTER marriage...... preferably an arranged marriage - I am not understanding the jumping in the sack business...... I am hearing that the Englishmen have sack races on school sports days - is this being it?

spiceygamble: It should not be a matter of how long you've been single that defines if you feel like starting the hunt...
but perhaps if it is in your nature to be the aggressor.

If you only lead the courtship because you've been single for 5 years, it may send out a bit of the wrong signal. If your persona is one of being a tad demur... and then you begin being a hunter, once you have your prey you may resort to your original disposition. This may prove disappointing for them, as they saw you as a more lively aggressor.

Then again, perhaps being the initiator might spark some inner power in you & open new channels for experiences. Only you will be able to answer this puzzle.

Enjoy the courtship, either way.


Hi, Spicey wave


Ditto.

That's the way I see it.

Hi Pegglypoowave hug

I should have read the rest of the thread and just agreed with you.laugh

Hmmm, I've had the occasional hard time with the figuring out if the interest is reciprocal or not. The line between friends and more than has been blurred before. I normally would never say a thing for fear of screwing up a lovely friendship, but it's also just as frustrating not knowing if it could be something so much more.

We had those type of sack races here too, and Finns have wife carrying contests, but no, a different kind of sack jumping. laugh

Yep, love should come after marriage, as well as before. Not too sure about the arranged thing though. I've never been fond of having a shotgun pointed in my general direction.uh oh
