SIGNS A GUY WANTS YOU TO CHASE HIM

Signs A Guy Wants You To Chase Him

“Signs a guy wants you to chase him” – Is that even a thing?

While some guys like going after the women they like, some others want to be chased by the women they like.

Sounds weird, right?

Well, there’s nothing new under the sun.

For the guys who like to be chased by their dream women, it can be that the chase gives them a sense of value or massages their ego.

Whatever their reasons, some signs point out when a guy wants you to chase him.

Let’s look at some of the most obvious ones.

7 Sure Signs A Guy Wants You To Chase Him

1. He pays you compliments often

One of the clearest signs a guy wants you to chase him is if he showers you with compliments often.

While hoping you’ll massage his ego in return, he’ll rub yours first by letting you know that you’re special, interesting, and attractive to him.

He’ll tell you things that will get you interested in him and then back off when you expect him to make a move on you.

That’s his game plan – to use the compliments as bait to get you to make a move on him instead.

To him, telling you about how special you are to him is enough reason for you to chase him.

If care is not taken, he might already be wondering why you’re not coming after him when he already declared his interest in you.

2. He gives off mixed signals

Does this guy blow hot and cold around you?

You can’t tell for sure what he wants because you can’t make sense of the signals he’s sending you.

When you feel that he really likes you and is genuinely attracted to you, he disappears without notice.

His approach towards you is conflicting.

He feeds you with just enough to get your attention, and the moment he has your attention, he’s gone with the wind.

The most interesting thing about his mixed signals is that he gives you just enough positive signals to keep you interested in him; he doesn’t go any further than that. 

This can be one of the signs a guy wants you to chase him.

3. He reaches out to you from time to time

Even if he’s not the first to establish contact, he reaches out to you occasionally to check up on you and know what you’re up to.

He might want to know if you’re dating anyone.

He may even ask your friends about your love life if he has access to them. 

If you pay closer attention, you’ll notice he’s dropping clues about wanting you to chase him. 

Reaching out to you occasionally is his gentle reminder of being available and interested in you.

Without a move from you, whatever both of you share might not move to the next level.

4. He waits for you to reach out to him

Does he wait for you to initiate contact?

It is one of the signs a guy wants you to chase him.

You’ll notice that he rarely makes the first move.

If you’re impatient enough, you might end up asking him out when you get tired of waiting for him to act, which is exactly what he wants.

Whenever you reach out to him, he responds cordially and doesn’t fail to show that he’s interested in you.

But if you’re waiting for him to make a move on you, the joke is on you because he’s also waiting for you to make a move on him.

You might conclude that you’re not that important to him due to his character, but it might be that he wants you to chase him.

5. He acts jealous around you

If you’re in a relationship with someone else, he might be acting jealous around you and still not make a move on you.

Maybe it’s not unusual for him to be jealous, as it’s in his nature.

It can also be that he wants to be the guy in your life.

In this case, his jealousy can be a subtle message that he wants to chase him and do away with other options.

6. He keeps his distance while showing interest

Does it seem strange to you that he can’t seem to hide his feelings about you but still manages to keep his distance from you?

It’s understandable if confusing because it’s not what you’re used to.

Don’t forget that any guy who wants you to chase him already knows you’re interested in him and wants to know how far you’re willing to go to have him.

His showing interest in you is to tempt you to make a move on him.

The distance he’s keeping is also part of the game.

As the saying goes, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

He’ll want to be out of your sight for long so that you’ll miss him, want him and possibly chase him.

7. He tells you about his relationship troubles

Telling you that he’s having troubles in his relationship or marriage is an ideal move by a guy who wants you to chase him.

Married men especially are guilty of this, but even some men in relationships do it too.

He’ll either drop indirect hints or tell you that all is not well in his relationship.

If you showed interest in him before he settled down or got into the relationship, he wants you to resume your chase.

Let’s look at it objectively; he’s unlikely to abandon his relationship and risk being single if he chases you and you reject him.

But if you chase him, he has the assurance that if he leaves his current relationship, he’s getting into a new one with you.

Conclusion

Perhaps this guy just wants to feel wanted and typically enjoys being chased.

Well, who doesn’t enjoy being chased?

It can be that he’s insecure and shy.

Another angle is that he might not be sure you’ll say yes to him, hence his decision to wait for you to make a move by yourself.

All of this depends on you and the type of guy we’re talking about.

He might end up being the best in your history of boyfriends if you chase him and he agrees to date you.

It’s all up to you.

Know when to go get your man and when to damn all the consequences and run without looking back.
