Just an FYI, y’all don’t be “pursuing”. Y’all be interested and trying to do the bare minimum. Pursuit is intentional and has a goal. It’s action. It’s I want you and I NEED you to know that. It’s not petty or conditional - you do it because you want to

Interest ≠ Pursuit

And that’s the problem. Y’all want to tell someone you’re interested and think they’re supposed to be interested to and you haven’t done anything to show them why they should be interested in you, but be mad when they aren’t and all you do is send gm texts

Anyway I said all this to say that y’all have no business participating in conversations about pursuit or thinking the lukewarm shit you do is pursuit. Just bc you went through the motions of asking someone out and texting them doesn’t mean you’re pursuing them. Y’all be playing

If there is no zeal/excitement, if you don’t get giddy at the thought of spending time with them, and you’re just over there thinking “I took them to dinner and hit them up everyday https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😡" title="Schmollendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schmollendes Gesicht"> why aren’t they reciprocating” know that you are participating in mediocrity and not pursuit
