Don't chase is folk advice that is true only after you have a self and other options. In practice it means: stop pouring into a maybe. Investment should tilt toward her. Later pickup: takeaway, leading a real next beat, and a calendar that is not her.[1][2]
Method
- If you are the only one suggesting times, stop. Let the silence work or walk.
- Have somewhere to be. That is a real takeaway, not a sulk.
- Qualify. If you cannot name a deal-breaker, you are chasing. See pedestal.
Failure mode
Performing 'I don't chase' while texting six times. That is neediness.
