Though there is wisdom in that, I would be nervous about making it an absolute. There are just too many different kinds of men and women out there. And for some people, it's not just a rare circumstance that's the exception, but these absolutes would exclude them from practically ever finding anyone. I've heard women describe men who were "diamonds in the rough" who are very shy, sensitive, and turned out to be perfect for them.

And as for the avoiding a man who is physically hot for you right away, maybe a reasonable general indicator. But again, I know of too many exceptions, like the couple who had sex the same evening they met. Well, guess what? They've been happily married 15 years. It was love at first sight, and the feeling never left them.

BUT...if a man is really right for you, his pursuit will not stop. In fact, it will go on forever and ever. A man who is right for you and truly loves you will be compelled to pursue you until the end of time. There is a bit of maintenance the woman has to do to keep his game of pursuit in play...but it will feel natural and she will naturally keep him coming after her...but only if its RIGHT.


Again, good advice in general. But there are many exceptions. Some women may end up waiting a lifetime if they followed this advice without putting it in a context where they vary their approach and learn from real experience how they relate to all this.

Generally, I agree with DQ. It's just that I get nervous about seeing advice given as absolutes. One size doesn't fit all.
