What To Do When He Hasn’t Called In A Week
Dating is not what it used to be.
Based on movies, literature, music, and art — even nature — men are the pursuers. The hunters. As told by the culture, men love the hunt and the chase. They love the thrill of the chase, and if a man isn’t chasing you, then he isn’t into you.
This classic mindset leaves many women miserable. Convinced that the man in their life just doesn’t want to be with her because he isn’t in dogged pursuit. This might have held true for a generation of men but in today’s dating world when a date is at everyone’s figure tips the chase no longer has appeal.
In today’s world the convenient option is the one that is chosen. Food delivered, rideshares called, and the automatic relationship should be accessed with the snap of a finger. Anything else is just work and the modern man seems averse to the work that relationships require.
Of course the argument can be made that — not all men — but the reality is that most men operate from an insecure and confused place that makes them more averse to rejection than ever. A man that isn’t chasing you like a dog chases a squirrel isn’t a man that is disinterested. He’s a man that has never found reward in the chase.
Women are easy to get.
