The “Chase”
What is considered to be a "chase" between men and women? Is it an exchange of phone numbers? Phone calls, e-mail, text, lunch, dinner? I wonder. In a conversation I had with a friend, he’s never been on a chase, in "pursuit" of the opposite sex. Just a simple exchange of phone numbers, an initial interest and things took off from there. I wondered, is that possible. Does or did Ms. Kitty come around that easy to him? Just patiently waiting for someone to come around? And so, what do you call that? I had my moment of doubt, thought he was downright bullshitting me. I’m inclined to say, as he went on, I believe him. The man’s not ugly, fat or stupid so it’s possible, right? I guess, I’ve never been the type of chic to pursue a man. Somewhat like the Shania Twain song, "That Don’t Impress Me Much." And so I wondered, as I stared at my fraternal twin, do two self-assured, good looking, a little alike, ego in tact people repel?
What do I know? I know this short person, most certainly, repels with another short. I know this smart-ass, most certainly, repels with a man who has no sass. I think about the "chase" and realize maybe he doesn’t realize he’s chased. The ego does have a funny way of making one’s point of view skewed. The chase is, however, subject to interpretation. And so I’m curious, what constitutes a chase for a man and a woman? Spending money, time, phone calls? I haven’t come to any set conclusion in regards to my friend, I’m amused though. With that chase in mind, well there’s a challenge!

I love a good chase. Even when they are playing it cool you can see it in their eyes. On the other hand, it is twice as fun to be the chaser, but you lose your power that way. Sometimes that is a very nice feeling. The pain of pursuit is quite addictive.

OOoo I know it seems wrong for a woman to chase…but I LOVE the challenge of a man who IS a challenge!! Men that chase me to hard repel me….I dont like being smothered….but I also dont chase too hard either…its a very fine and sexy game when its done right!
Now…having said all that…after 11 years of being divorced…and i’m still single…hmmm…maybe I need to reevaluate my game???? roflmao (I have had a VERY adventurous single life though! lol)
