One of the main reasons why an acquaintance doesn’t become a relationship is that a woman chases a man without usually realizing it. And even though she’s heard that it’s in men’s nature to chase and claim women, the most common argument I come up against based on my experience is the following:
“But how will he get that I’m really interested in him?”
“But I’m thinking about him all the time and I want to talk with him.”
“But I want to meet him.”
The way a woman tries to claim a man not only alienates him, but also deprives him of all the inspiration to approach her and eventually it doesn’t give him the chance to show her his true feelings.

My answer to all these questions is that I get it, but what results do you get if you act in the following 3 ways? You may think it’s quite normal to act like this if you’ve just acquainted a man you’re interested in, but if you do it repeatedly you will actually alienate him.
1. You take initiative to contact him using any means of communication (phone calls, e-mails, messages on social media etc.) You also complain to him that he doesn’t take initiative to contact you.
2. You suggest you meet for a walk or dinner or drinks or you invite him to your place. You may even invite him somewhere you are supposed to meet your girlfriends.
3. You ask first how he feels about you and your acquaintance. Men need more time to realize how they feel, while women express their feelings easier.

The abovementioned types of behaviour don’t give him space and time to get inspired by your acquaintance, look for you and want to spend time with you. Now you know how to maintain your femininity by avoiding these 3 types of behaviour. Always be open and receptive to his approach. That way you encourage him, allowing him to have a lead on claiming you.
