There was only one relationship that I formed that there was no chasing on either side, and I married him. I prefer to be chased a little. It is not because I enjoy it, or because I am into games. I just reserve judgment for a little while, especially as I get older. I need to know someone really likes me before I allow myself to get "caught". That means they call me at first, go out of their way to see me at first, are willing to show their affection. I tend to think that men value that which they expend energy on, and since I see myself as someone of value, I expect a certain amount of energy expended to "catch" me. Am I a runner? Not really. I am friendly, kind, considerate. I do not play games with my affection, but neither do I put all my eggs in one basket until I have a reason to, and the man who desires me to do that should give me a reason. Life is just too short to expend all my energy on someone that is lukewarm in their affection for me. I answer phone calls, I return messages, I make myself available too. It seems that the above has become more crucial than it was before I discovered WIITWD. When I submit it kind of does away with bitching about being taken for granted. It takes away some of my voice about not being called enough, or given enough attention. I do not "stand up" for myself when I submit to someone. They call the shots, so it felt more imperative for me to make sure that he knew I valued myself deeply. I needed my Dom to know that I chose him from all the others that I could have chosen, because I really did chose him among many many others... none of which came close to him. I think men chase all women until one catches them...ha ha.
