Over-bearing Men

I've recently become aware of a problem that some women in the dating "scene" are experiencing: over-bearing men. Women have long been told not to chase a man. But it is equally unattractive when a gentleman plays the desperation card. Border line stalking/wigging out when a woman doesn't respond right away, or the way you want, is not going to get you the girl.

In these complicated dating times, women don't want to feel pressured or chased after. I realize how frustrating this must be to many men. I know how scary it can be to pluck up the courage to go after a woman. All I can say, is have some confidence in yourself before trying to catch a lady. If you are catch, then lay off the hard sell. A woman will have more respect for a guy that gives her space. Otherwise, she'll just feel pressured. And when a woman feels pressured, she doesn't even have the space to consider any sort of attraction.

I'm starting to grasp that there is a sort of game that does need to be played. And I hate the idea of being unnatural. But "game" denotes something very negative for many people. Perhaps "play" is a better term. Or maybe even just good old fashion "flirting". For two to tango, there needs to be some play, back and forth. When a woman feels up against a wall, how can that happen?

So believe in your goods, make that move and then let her make a play. Remember the good old phrase, "the ball is in her court"? If she isn't tossing them back, you're just overwhelming her with tennis balls! Confidence will take you leaps and bounds. Or at least get you a date.
