I agree with barefoot, it's the polite thing to reply. ( that being said, I did block someone who asked for my phone number 2nd e-mail, he wanted to meet me after a week too! just creepy!) but most of the guys here are nice, so u should as least e-mail back.

I agree with 1babygirl too. it's okay to "GentillY" pursue! Most of you guys are so gosh darn SLOW!

You blocked a guy for wanting to meet after a week because moving quickly is "creepy," but then you complain that guys move too slow? Of course guys are gonna move slow! Whenever they take "move faster" advice, they get blocked and called creepy!

Yes, I agree with Cobbler. I also like Joshua Harris' writing on the bonding in a dating relationship. Gave the tapes to my sons and feel men and women can benefit.

I don't think that a woman should pursue a man (beyond initially letting him know that she's interested), but at the same time, if she is going to be pursued, she needs to know when to let herself get caught!

Why should women be running away from a guy in the first place?

Yes, IF. . . .they pursue as a Godly woman, not as a man, that in itself is quite irresistible. To pursue any other way is like trying to catch a horse with a piece of meat, the only thing you will catch is a wolf. What you use for bait depends on what you are wanting to catch.

I get that a lot about Jeremiah but I can assure you I am all women!!!!



You are absolutely right about the Boaz and Ruth deal. Ruthie knew what she wanted and went for it.



For years my friends would tell me that I would never get married again because all I did was stay at home and unless it was the UPS or Federal Express or the United States Postal Service I would never find a man. (Incidently I did date the UPS guy for a few months)



I am a bit old fashion and for me I prefer the man to do the pursuing because that is a skill he will need in order to work and provide financially for the family. Typically a passive man will be passive in other areas of our lives like finances, communication and physical intimacy. I say if you are a man you should act like one. The man in my life will be a strong man who wears the pants in our family who is a leader, who I can trust with all details of my life. He will lead devotions for our family, pray and will take us to church every week. He will be such a man of integrity that I will have no problems submitting to his leadership. THAT IS GOD'S DESIGN FOR OUR FAMILIES not mine.

You are right about that. I am not saying that a woman doesn't need to be pro active. It is okay for her to show some interest after being approached. I just think a man should be the one to lead the relationship. He should make the first move. He should ask her out on a date and he definately should do th initial calling.



I am old school I didn't call men back in the day when I was courting and of course we didn't have cell phones, Internet or text messaging to assist us. I think it may be a little more acceptable now to text a guy or send an e mail after a few dates just to say hello. The pursuing I am referring to is the initial first few dates and maybe a few months later it would be appopriate for the girl to say "I was thinking about you today and just wanted to hear your voice."

I am sorry about your experience. I think what you experienced is one of the reasons why I think a man should pursue the woman. I applaud you for your tenacity but I think you hung out with him way too long.



A real man knows what he wants and knows how to get it. I hope you are healed and are willing to let the next guy lead. A man who fears rejection has a few issues they need to address. We've all been rejected either by potential employers, parents, families, children, church, or mates we need to get over our fears and live for the Lord.
