I think you are looking at executing = pursuing. But let's try to break this down another way.

Also, she originally chased me cause I made her laugh and she thought I would be good for her.


That is what you will have to do this time around. She needs to chase you. Become that man again. It will take time for her to come around to wanting to pursue you, but that is the way it needs to work.

I had a girlfriend when she told me her feelings and I said I couldn't do anything as I had a girlfriend.


How does your stitch then differ from now? You apparently did not see your GF back then as an obstacle.

Quote:
I later dropped my girlfriend and then started seeing her.


So, set you goal and work at what you want to achieve.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
