Sometimes, I really don’t subscribe to this whole sit back, you’re the prize let him chase you narrative. Why can’t I actively pursue a man I recognize qualities I admire in? It is your dating life, you should have more control over it than waiting to be ‘pursued’ imo.

A man catches your eye? Find out if he’s available, pray about him and if you feel like you are making a wise choice, go for it. What if he’s interested too but doesn’t come up and tell you? You would have lost something that could have been great all because you were waiting...

A man that respects you will respect you. It doesn’t matter who pursued who first. Pursuing him too doesn’t make you ‘stupid’ or ‘desparate’. Neither would it make you less of a ‘prize’. In fact, it makes you a woman who knows what she wants and goes after it, if you ask me.

You like to think of yourself as being worth the chase because you are a good woman. Well, there are good men out here that are honestly worth it too. You will have to meet such men half way. Two prizes can’t be together if only one had to put in the work. Prizes are earned.
