I do tend to think "The Rules" make sense--not that they should never be broken, just that following them is a woman's way of protecting herself, that is, if she's in the relationship for romance and long-term.

The end of their relationship puzzled me, too! Your theory is a sound one. I never thought about that before, but it's a lesson I've been learning in my own life lately. I discounted that "rule" since, yes, it seems anti-feminist, but there's definitely a difference in the effort levels of men who chase versus ones who are chased. <br /><br />What you say makes sense: Perhaps the puzzling end to the relationship simply highlights their relationship dynamic. She put in more effort than he did all along, and when she stopped, he stopped (and wasn't really doing much, anyway). And so it unraveled. Realizing that, I'm trying to let guys approach me now. It certainly feels much nicer when someone expresses interest, and I don't practically go crazy wondering if they're actually interested, and how much... Ugh. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!<br /><br />Also, love the first video you posted. I saw that recently, and was entranced. Brilliant and so engaging!
