I had a guy message me yesterday after not hearing from him for a few weeks.  When I didn’t respond to his message, he posted another text asking why I’m not talking to him anymore. I considered not even answering that post, but reconsidered.  Maybe he didn’t really understand the reason for my silence, so I broke it and responded with something like the following:
“I haven’t been responding to your messages because I now realize that you’re not really that into me.  I want to feel wanted and I didn’t.  I felt  you wanted me sexually, but not emotionally.  You never called. You barely texted, and I just felt like I was an afterthought.  This is the beginning of a relationship and I should be a consuming thought. I don’t want to be someone settled for, but someone desired, pursued… wanted.  I want to be worth the effort, the chase, the prize.  How can you catch me if you’re not even running after me? I really liked you and was very attracted to you, but I kept waiting for you - until I realized I’m not supposed to be waiting.”  
I hope the next woman he meets inspires him to be more pursuant.  I also hope the next man I meet will find me worthy and desirable enough for the chase.  He is going to have to chase me because I only know how to run. 
Till next time,
