Dating is rooted in primal courtship rituals. To those men who don’t act, your actions are being interpreted as you not being interested. If you really wanted her, you'd go after her—pure and simple. To be clear, this isn’t the case of "making a man chase a woman". It's about the primal driver of a man leading a woman through the courtship process—interest, date, bedroom, etc. A man who leads, plans, and takes some measure of action is going to be desirable... and she will respond if his actions are sincere. (And to those men who are shy and unsure: I get it. But just be you and put yourself out there. You'll find out right away if she's interested.)

What she wants: For him to do his part in dating, make the plans, and court her. She will do her part and make plans, also… but there’s nothing wrong with him making the moves and showing his interest. She wants him to pursue, and he needs something to chase. Perhaps Mark Twain said it best: “In order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.”
