    Hi April,
    I just want to start by saying how much I appreciate your advice. I read posts on your forum almost every day, and honestly, your answers have helped me see dating in a much clearer way. Your advice feels real, practical, and comforting, which is why I finally decided to ask my own question.

    My name is Hania, and I’m 30 years old. I’m genuinely confused about chasing men. Everyone says, “Don’t chase, let him chase you,” but in real life it never feels that simple. If I show interest, I worry I’ll look desperate. But if I hold back, I’m scared he’ll think I’m not interested at all.

    I don’t want to play games, and I don’t want to pretend I don’t care. At the same time, I don’t want to push a man away by trying too hard. Where is the real line between showing interest and chasing? I would truly love your honest advice, Ask April, because this part of dating leaves me very confused.

    Hi Hania,

    I’m glad my advice helped you.

    When I say don’t chase a man, I don’t mean play games or act like you don’t care. I mean don’t make him the prize.

    You can start a conversation. “Oh, Nice shoes.” That’s fine. That’s a way to show you’re interested without looking desperate.

    Where is the real line between showing interest and chasing?

    That is the moment you ask him on a clear, romantic date. Now you’re chasing him, not the other way around. And men are pursuers. They want that rush of winning
    you over. That’s how their brains work.

    When something is easy, men think it’s cheap. And cheap isn’t valued. That may sound cruel, many women get angry when I say it, but it’s the reality.

    Also, how a relationship starts is how it runs.

    If you pursue at the start, you will pursue forever.

    If you plan dates now, you’ll plan them later.

    If you’re fine making him the Prize, great. Go for it. But most women aren’t, and that’s why you hear the same story again and again:

    “Does he like me?”

    “He never takes me out.”

    “He never plans anything.”

    “He never steps up.”

    In many cases, that pattern started on day one, when she chased and he got used to it.

    So here’s the rule, Show interest. Do not pursue,. Do not ask him on a date.

    Let him step up or step aside.

    That’s how you sort men who are interested from those who aren’t.
