As frustrating as it is sometimes to pursue women, occasionally I’m reminded of the fact that we as men actually prefer it this way.

I went to a holiday party and one particular girl took a real liking to me. I mean she was following me around, asking people to take pictures of us with her digital camera. Other people thought we were a couple. It was an immediate turn-off.

This has probably happened to most of you at some time or another – a girl you would have liked in other situations likes you first and likes you too much.

She was cute enough. If she were less aggressive, I would have wanted to go up and talk to her. But her super aggressiveness killed any attraction I had to her. I was thinking “you hardly know me, how can you like me so much?” Isn’t that what girls say when guys like them too much too soon? Weird to have the tables turned. I don’t like it one bit.

I’ll try to remember this scenario when I’m pursuing a woman and I’m working so hard it’s driving me crazy. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
