I know how tempting it is to grab that opportunity to hook up with that man you’ve been eyeing but you have got to let him chase you. This somewhat equates to retaining some sort of mystery around you. I know it sounds so cliché and all but it how nature works. Men are born hunters.

A good tip on how to do this: give that guy one small look that resonates a “maybe”. Make that look give out a thousand of opportunities but holds back the true answer to the question, “do I like you?”. Men will answer to it. If they won’t, at least, you know then that he’s not interested in you and you wouldn’t have wasted (or humiliated?) yourself in front of him.

This is part of the attraction — a test if you may — you will see if the man is indeed attracted to you and your, er, mystique. The interest will allow him to overcome is reservations or fear of rejection, know what I mean?

It’s also good to highlight that it’s a great feeling when a man chases after you — not in jest, of course, but just to solidify his interest.

Before I go, ladies, I hope you won’t use this to toy with a man’s feelings, ok? It’s not nice.

Thrill of the Chase

The conversation revolved around marriage, kids, engagements, and break ups. Of course, since I’m the only single left in the group, in a new relationship at that, I got grilled with questions regarding certain issues about the relationship, the fights, in particular.

All three have the same opinion on how they think individuals should view fights in relationships. They say it’s quite normal and, somewhat, good for it. It keeps everything “spicy” and interesting. It helps you talk about issues that can help the relationship grow.

Personally, I find fighting a little stressful and tiring. I’m often left disconcerted and uninspired. I usually resort to sleeping, thinking that it will lessen the negative feeling left by the fight.

However, after that conversation, I came out feeling a bit encouraged because, at least, I can view fights in a different light. I felt re-affirmed that communicating through fights help solve problems and does make the relationship stronger. But I also felt that these thoughts shouldn’t be used to justify “picking fights” for the heck of it, know what I mean?

I reckon we can actually learn from the phrase “picking fights”. Instead of taking it in the negative sense, we should take it as picking the kind of fights we’d engage in with our respective partners or to make a conscious decision “to fight or not to fight.”

Any thoughts on the matter?
