When you meet someone and the chase starts, pursuing them becomes a game. Some people are into that and enjoy the pursuit. They like the challenge of those who play hard to get. Do you enjoy a little challenge? I can agree that it leads to stronger attraction but how long should the chase last?

My friend Gary likes high maintenance women so he loves a challenge. He thinks that women who make it easy for men to pursue them send a bad message. I worry about him being mislead by these women but he thinks he can tell when they aren’t genuinely interested in him.

When it comes to dating, does a little challenge make it more fun or more frustrating? What is the maximum time you would spend pursuing a romantic interest?
