Some men do prefer to be the “hunter” some men rather be chased. It really just depends on the guy, a way to solve this problem is process of elimination. Try ignoring him for a few days, if he actually doesn't care that your ignoring him and couldn't care less, then switch to chasing him.
Men tend to love a chase – it's in their DNA. They put the “hunter” in “hunter-gatherer,” with a biological wiring to seek out prey and provide food for their families. And those same instincts still live within the modern man today.
If he doesn't feel a connection or feels like you aren't someone he sees himself with, then he'll stop pursuing you. If he's a gentleman, he will own up and tell you that things weren't working out. But if he has stopped chasing you out of the blue and does not bother to inform you, you are better off without him.
Here are a couple of such examples of these texts that will make him chase you: "I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your sense of humor." You always manage to make me laugh." "That was such a thoughtful gesture you made yesterday. It really meant a lot to me."
Does Pulling Away Bring Him Closer. Sorry pulling away does not bring him closer to you. As I mentioned before men won't share the same feelings as you. He can leave you a meet another woman out there who makes him feel comfortable and not manipulated.
A person can genuinely, sincerely like you and not pursue you. This can happen for lots of reasons: he doesn't trust you, you hurt him, he doesn't think you're compatible, he doesn't think a relationship would work, and more.
While dominant individuals are often attracted to those who follow their lead, they may also have a healthy respect for those willing to stand up to them when necessary.
Make eye contact, skip the small talk, and don't ramble. Speak confidently and don't back down. To prevent arguments, avoid making generalizations and support your assertions with evidence. If the dominant person tries to interrupt or talk over you, put a stop to it immediately.
Remember to have fun and relieve stress by spending playful moments with each other. Simple things like chasing each other in the kitchen, trying gardening together, taking up an art project, etc., will go a long way in keeping your man interested in you and valuing you for your ability to keep it light and lively.
Talk to him. Making assumptions can be confusing when your boyfriend stops making an effort. Instead, sit him down and let him know how you feel. Make him feel comfortable enough to tell you the truth about his actions and be open-minded.
