Why would a guy want you to chase him?

Question

glutton4punishment · Accepted Answer

He was feeling guilty about the life of crime he'd been living. Only wanting it to be over, at that point, as to finally be able to lay his head down on that oh-so-cozy steel slab. Grab that patented pillow, made of belly-button lint, jails are always too happy to pawn off on people and all..

Finally being able to lay his head down and catch up on sleep for the next week or so.

So clearly, it's a good thing you came along to chase him down like that then, huh! Otherwise, he might still be out there killing innocent women! I mean, can you imagine? Lol

Which is why I'm sure I'll hear all about your heroism on the news tonight! No such worries of innaction when it comes to you, it's why you're a hero!

Sigh, if only all women would follow your brave lead... the world be such a safer place! Oh dont be modest, credit to your gender, ya are! ... kudos to you, my good woman!

Maybe you being the aggressor makes him less concerned about having his expressions of interest rejected.

LEETSBEREAL · Accepted Answer

It depends on his intentions.

He might be testing you to see what he is worth to you or he could be playing games. See how far you'll go.

A relationship is a two way street you must show each other what you are worth to each other each and every day.

Gone are the days where its enough for a woman to accept your call and give you the time of day he wants to feel important too so show him his worth.

Don't get stuck doing all the work let him show you your important to him if he can't show you this don't waste your time and find someone who is give and take.

Would depend on the guy the reason why. .
*Some men really do just want to feel as wanted, the chased instead of the chaser...
*But in some cases, that can be the actions of an egomaniac who needs to feel wanted by everyone, whether they really want that person or not...
But if two people REALLY are into one another, there's less chasing and more "falling" .. Falling for EACH OTHER...

caring__1 · Answer

Guys don't want women to chase them; they want women to show interest. Showing interest opens the door for men to feel safe to approach. Nowadays, guys are very gunshy. They get blasted for holding a door open for a woman and accused of everything under the sun. Women often put more value on their interpretation of a person's motive than on the action itself. When a negative twist is applied to an action, the negative twist becomes the reality. Guys just want to know you're receptive and they'll be safe. You don't have to go to any extreme.

Anonymous · Answer

Did he say that or are you making assumptions?

But we're human beings, like you are and we also like to feel desired by the opposite sex. But often with guys it's not a "game" of chasing. Maybe he doesn't believe you are really into him? Maybe he's not into you and you only think he wants to be chased? Did anything happen between you? Example like maybe you rejected him first and are now interested, so he's going to make you "work" for it? As you might do to him if it was reversed?

John_Galt · Answer

hmmmm... I really don’t know the answer to that one. But it is obvious to me that men are becoming more effeminate. I don’t mean that as an insult, just an observation.
I’ve noticed that about younger people that the women are more aggressive than the men.

Kaazsz · Answer

Because he can. If a girl is chasing a guy, it means lots of girls are chasing him. Guys don’t get chased by girls unless he is top of the food chain.

Just like how girls make men compete for them. The guys at the top get to reverse the role and make the girls chase them. That’s how it goes. Girls chase the guys at the top. And the rest of the guys chase all the girls.

centerline · Answer

because he is egotistical... it makes him feel better about himself if a girl will chase after him... and its very seldom worth the girls time, because a guy that feels he is so great that girls will chase after him is not going to be very attentive of a girls needs, especially if another girl is after him also...

guys should chase a girl, and girls should chase guys, but they should make their desires known and then go with the flow of what happens after that

hahahmm · Answer

A. He has high standards and his pick of women so he's not going to beg you for anything.
B. He already made his intentions clear and you were cold/luke warm. Now the ball is in his court. He's a busy guy and doesn't have time for games. Your move.

Berethor · Answer

To show him how much you interested, though most guys didn't want to be chased.

triff · Answer

I believe guys on general have an insecurity complex There is a saying that goes treat them mean keep them keen and this stems from a guy wanting His girl to show how much she cares by inducing the chase but of course If the match is built on concrete foundations then the bond doesn't need such behaviour

MrImp · Answer

Few reasons:
1. Either he likes you hunting him
2. He’s playing hard to get
3. He’s insecure about his feelings and rather hides it for a while if you’re not speaking about it
4. He wants to create some distance because see 3. or he only sees you as a platonic friend.

That’s my take on it. As a guy

TheorionMage · Answer

'Chase' takes on many meanings, not all of them mentally healthy...

MOST guys HATE female fragile ego-protecting ambiguity. Ar-r-r-r-gh!

If you find him or me 'hot'
SHOW us, by your salacious word innuendos ,
your 'wardrobe malfunction' provocative dressing,
your naughty roaming hands
(unlike women... male's ACHE to be physically groped! )

CLEAR, UNAMBIGUOUS FLIRTING, Ladies!
... NONE of this #me too... revisionist history remorse!

Elsa143 · Answer

Ego issues and fear of not being like enough.
There's a difference between simply confessing your love and 'chasing' him. Chasing means trying to impress him all the time, always putting him first, pleasing him with compliments and sacrifices and do things to make him happy.

Jjpayne · Answer

So he knows you are in the relationship for keeps. He knows you actually want him vs are just half in and half out until you are done with him. It shows your commitment. That's just my guess anyway... 🤷

Bang5luts · Answer

The same reason a woman wants to be chased after by guys. Everyone wants to feel wanted or valued in some way. Guys are a little bit more secure in knowing our own worth. With that said, a guys rain for wanting to be chased might differ from guy to guy.

key_statistics · Answer

Well it pumps his confidence up. Makes him feel good, and gets him going / turned on. Not all guys are the same but it will conect to one of them. Keep in mind one girl chasing him is good but as soon as the amount of girls chasing him gets to much for him it will have a negative effect on him

sadcountrygirl · Answer

Chase him as in?

If y'all are running and he wanted for u to chase him. Then he either trying to plan to hurt u or just make it fun.

If y'all are just like talking or something.. and if he wanted u to chase him. Then he might just be playing games.

Arivor · Answer

It makes us feel good about our selves and thus a real ego boost. Don't worry if we are interested, we will take it from there. Sometimes it's what it takes to get us to notice you.

AlienParasite · Answer

Because to feel desired by someone can sometimes feel nice regardless of gender. However, as some users have already pointed, when a relationship comes together naturally none of the parts usually have to make an extra effort chasing.

AllieOops · Answer

That is a good question because usually it is the opposite.

Vviiccttoorr · Answer

I personally don’t wanna play games. I would really enjoy a genuine relationship right now but I guess some guys like to be chased to feel like there’s something special which is honestly ehhh in my opinion

Angelo75 · Answer

Cuz he assumes u'll treat him right.
Usually when u chase a guy, you don't play hard to get in your relationship.
And you are more likely to be very easygoing during sex.
Well that's the assumption anyways.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

We don't necessarily want you to chase us. (Though you may if you wish; I certainly wouldn't be offended.). We just want to know if you're interested or not.

JPrez · Answer

Because sometimes guys want to be in control and not always chasing the girl. There are plenty of tricks and ploys we can use to do it.

wingattebaby16 · Answer

Maybe he is a very confident person and knows that he is one of the best men out there and so the woman must pursue him or chase him.

Probably the same reason some girls like it. It feels good to know a woman truly craves your attention.

I wouldn’t chase a guy and waste my time, If he will play games I’m not interested anymore. I guess some guys do that for their ego.

Wewladdy · Answer

Because he's not a retarded simp and he wants women to at least show interest in him before he invests in them, as a man should.

Anonymous · Answer

Why would a guy feel any different than a girl about someone showing interest in him and taking initiative to connect? This is not rocket science.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Maybe he's just not that into you? I know it's hard to understand for a woman as women are used to just showing up and being adored, but perhaps he wants nothing to do with you.

SomeGuyWithNames · Answer

I don't know any guys who only want to be chased, but personally I chase for a bit then regress to see if she's actually enjoying it and not just putting up with me. That's when I want her to chase me. That whole 50/50 rule.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

because they aren't interested in you or to make sure you are

Browneye57 · Answer

They don't. Guys want to be desired, liked, but if YOU think YOU are going to be the man in the relationship it's likely never going to work.

Unit1 · Answer

I dont care what the blues or pinks say but I like it when a woman is after me. At least I know someone likes me.

Some guys don't chase. They invite and if you accept something can happen... otherwise they move on. Chasing is a waste of time.

Because girls aren’t dumping when they are chasing.
