Okay Men. I need honest opinions here!! Alrightie. So I'm known for being a chaser when it comes to guys I like. It has not worked in my favor..at all. However when I read these articles that say "It's the 21st century a woman can chase a guy or show that she likes him blah blah blah..." However my mother tells me, "If a guy likes you he will chase you." I'm sort of in that situation. FINALLY. I really didn't have to do anything. We started off as friends and started messaging each other. I gave him my number (I didn't ask for his) and a couple of days later he texted me. Since it's summer vacation he texted me the other day to check up on me. I really like this guy and I don't want to hound him with texts and such since it seems to have not worked in the past.. So my question is..when or is it okay for a woman to actually put herself out there and when to realize "well okay he is definitely not interested". Thank You!

I think he is interested. Texting after a couple days is definitely a guy rule when it comes to texting someone of interest. 1 day is too soon, 3 days is too late, and 2 is just perfect.

Has he asked you out yet? Make your conversations fun. Tease him, flirt with him, etc.

He sounds interested. Text him back and see where it goes. Let him set the pace if you wish to take on a more passive role with this one. You'll find out his level of interest very fast if you let him pursue you and youare open to his advances.

Great advice..I'm not sure if I should tease him in a way you might be thinking of..I think it would creep him out..and I think he wears a ring (purity) on his finger..I never asked about it. I feel this will be a loooong process...however he is worth the wait..

By "tease" I mean, joke around, flirt. Reply to him in a way that you sound interested. I don't usually like an all-serious conversation. It usually ends up getting stale and not lead up to somewhere. If you do guys make the conversation fun, it leads to the date and you have something to look back to.

Remember that men will chase women we want. Always let them chase you.

In the beginning reciprocate just enough to show that you are receptive to his advances and no more. If he is getting some response back and he likes you he will keep chasing.

Feel free to chase, but there's a difference betwee chasing and stalking/hounding. The idea is to make yourself available, and show that you're interested and interesting. Guys want to feel wanted, too. Good luck!

ahhh well...since we are on the opposite sides of the United States at the moment..it's very hard to friggin control myself from texting him...after waiting for a while..I texted and he answered! But yes there is a difference between stalker and chaser..I just have to find a balance where I don't feel like I am stalking him...but where I feel comfortable asking how his day is going and stuff...by the way..he has not asked me out yet..because all of this happened in the course of a month..and then we broke out for summer vacation..soo not alot of time elapsed where we could actually hang out and get to know each other...hopefully something will transpire in the fall..but right now it's the "getting to know each other" stage..I just have to try to be patient
