The Simple Truth – If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You

Pursuit

The truth is simple, yet harsh – If he wants you, he will pursue you. No excuses, and no explanations for his deeds.

Trust me, he knows very well what he wants from life, and from this point of view, it looks like he isn’t interested in you.

When you meet a good man, for whom you start to have deeper feelings, the last thing you want is for him to disappear from your life.

You’re willing to make the first move and be the one who initiates all of the dates as he truly seems like the right man for you.

You’re willing to be a strong woman who’ll text him first if that’s what he needs because you see the compatibility between the two of you.

But no matter what you do, you always feel that something is missing. Every step you take doesn’t seem to bring you any closer to your real man.

Honestly, it seems to be taking you further from him.

I know that he’ll give you excuses, and you’ll start to believe in them because you like him that much.

You just want the two of you to work out, no matter what it takes.

You might label him as a shy guy and you might look for ways to justify his behavior.

He’s taking more time to invite you out because he’s not very good at dating. It all scares him and he doesn’t know what the right step to take is.

Or some other lame excuse similar to that.

Then, you’ll get the courage and you’ll be the one to call and ask him out.

And even after you do that, he’ll give you a reason why he’s busy at that time.

Maybe he has to do something for work which can’t wait, or he has already promised a good friend that they’d go out together.

He’s willingly keeping you on the side and not giving you the time of day while you’re making yourself believe that he’s telling you the truth.

You like him and you feel that there’s an emotional connection between the two of you. He has to feel the same way, right?

However, unfortunately, that’s not how relationships work.

Just because you feel something strong for someone, it doesn’t mean that he feels the same way about you.

Relationships are a two-way street.

If your feelings aren’t the same, they’ll take you the opposite way, so if this guy you fell for feels the same for you, trust me, he’ll show you.

If he really wants you, and if he feels that he has to have you in his life, he will pursue you. End of discussion!

Maybe it seems old-fashioned, but when a man sees what he wants, he goes after that person. He makes an effort to show his feelings and win you over.

He won’t play mind games with you or make you come up with excuses for him. A real man doesn’t do that.

Instead, he’ll make sure to show you that you’re the only woman he wants and that without you, he can’t live a happy life.

You’ll be the piece of the puzzle that he’s missing, and his chase after you will begin.

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 18

If you caught his attention, he won’t have a problem chasing you down the road.

He knows that you’re worth it because he feels something special when he looks into your eyes.

He wants you and he will pursue you, no matter what it takes. Trust me, he needs no dating advice – he likes what he sees, and he goes after it.

When this happens, you’ll have no need to convince yourself that he likes you because you’ll feel it.

You’ll look at his actions and see a man who is chasing after a woman he wants.

You’ll see a man who really wants to have you in his life and he makes sure to pursue you.

He wants to make you his queen, and he’s on a journey to achieve that.

When a man wants you, he’s always there for you. He makes sure to show you that you’re special in his eyes.

You make him feel things he’s never felt before and because of that, he can’t afford to lose you.

He can’t afford to end up without you.

He needs to pursue you, regardless of how hard it gets, because he wants you in his life more than he ever wanted anything before.
The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 19

When a man wants you, he doesn’t send you mixed signals or play with your feelings. He knows that he could lose you if he keeps acting immature.

That’s why he steps up his game and gives his all in just to have you by his side.

No matter how many girls he had before you, you’ll be able to tell that from now on, you’re the only one in his heart.

He’ll do whatever it takes to have you. He’ll pursue you all around the world because there’s no one else he wants as much as he wants you.

You’re his dream come true and if he doesn’t give his maximum effort to win you over, he’ll be mad at himself for the rest of his life.

And it’s not just that he wants you next to him. He also respects you as a person, and he sees that you’re not like the rest of the girls.

There’s something in you that makes his heart skip a beat, and he doesn’t want to lose that.

It looks like you’re made for him, and he wants to try his chances to see if that’s really the case.

If it is, then he’ll be the happiest man on earth, as he saw what he wanted, he pursued it, and now he’s over the moon.

On the flip side, when a man doesn’t want you in his life, he won’t make a move.

He won’t do anything to show you that he wants you there next to him because it’s not true.

Instead of showing you that he wants you and chasing after you, the only thing you’ll get will be excuses. And this can get exhausting!

When he keeps giving you the same old story and when you realize that what he’s telling you are actually lies, you start doubting yourself.
The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 20
Your self-worth decreases and you find yourself in a place out of which there’s no way out.

You like him and you want him around, but he keeps playing with you and it becomes more than obvious.

You keep repeating that saying, “If he wants you, he will pursue you,” and it all gets too much to handle.

If only he would openly tell you what his real feelings are, that would make your life easier, but we all know that men don’t usually talk about their feelings.

Instead, they show you what they actually think of you.

So, when we put it into context, it goes something like this:

If a man wants you, he will pursue you, but if he doesn’t want you, he’ll show you that through his actions.

Signs he doesn’t want you and will never pursue you!

If a man wants you, he pursues you and shows you that you’re the one he wants to have around.

And if he doesn’t want to have anything with you, he’ll show you that as well, but you won’t be a fan of his actions.

So, no matter what, a man’s behavior always gives him away and shows his real intentions.

I don’t want to be the one to burst your bubble of happiness, but when a man doesn’t want to be with you, he makes sure to show you that.

It’s much easier for him to let you realize on your own what he wants from you than to openly tell you that.

He thinks that he would hurt your feelings more by telling you that he wants to break up with you or that he doesn’t want a relationship with you, which is why he uses his behavior to give you a clue.

He’ll make sure to show you some of the signs that he doesn’t want you and that he’ll never pursue you.

No matter how hard you try, he won’t change his opinion, as he doesn’t look at you the way you look at him.

1. Even when you convince him to go out, he spends more time on his phone than talking to you

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 22

Let’s ignore the fact that you’re the one who constantly initiates the dates and let’s focus on the way he acts around you.

Does it look something like this?

He keeps his phone in his hand and scrolls through it the whole night.

You keep talking and he’s the one who ignores almost every word you say, like he’s looking at you, but his mind is elsewhere.

When you ask him a question, he might give you an answer but that’s all you’re going to get.

He’s not in the mood for having a conversation with you, and honestly, it seems like you’re leading a monologue.

He could be in a bad mood, but if it keeps repeating all the time then it means something else.

Honestly, it means that he doesn’t want you and that he has no intention of pursuing you.

No matter how much effort you put in, you’ll get nothing in return.

When a man wants to be with you and wants to chase you to the ends of the earth, he makes sure to listen to every word you say.

He looks you in the eyes and gives you his full intention because there’s no place he would rather be.

And this one? He won’t even make an effort to invite you out so how come you expect him to do something bigger then?

It’s more than obvious that you’re just an option and that he doesn’t want anything serious with you. His behavior is telling you that!

2. He doesn’t include you in his plans

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 23

Does it seem that he leaves you out of all of his plans? He has a vision of the future, but you’re nowhere to be found in it.

Even his short-term plans don’t have your name in them. It’s like you don’t exist in this guy’s life.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation like this, you should know that your guy doesn’t want you and will never be willing to pursue you.

He’s going to live his life his own way and no matter how hard you try, the chances are that he won’t change.

He’ll always remain somewhere where you aren’t because he doesn’t want to have anything serious with you.

Maybe you were just a fling, a rebound girl, or an option that he kept on calling when it was convenient for him.

But no matter what, you’ll never become someone he wants to be with for the long run.

It looks like your opinions differ, which means that you can live your life in denial, begging him to want you the way you want him, or you could move on and look for happiness someplace else.

If I were you, I would choose the latter because it’s obvious that this guy doesn’t want you and will never take the step of pursuing you.

3. He doesn’t introduce you to his family or friends

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 24

We all know that introducing your significant other to your parents and friends is a huge step in a relationship.

It means that the two of you have serious intentions and that you want the relationship to work out.

But what does it mean when your guy keeps avoiding that step? When you mention it, he shuts down and changes the topic completely.

And it’s not that he gives you excuses. Instead, he tells you nothing about the reason why he doesn’t want you to meet his friends or family.

When this happens, the chances are that he doesn’t want anything serious with you and that he has no intention of pursuing you.

You’re just a way station and the moment his train leaves, be sure that he won’t be coming back.

If he was interested in you, he would keep mentioning all the time that you should meet his loved ones, as it means that he’s proud to have you and that he wants everyone to know that this is his girl.

He would make sure to show you that he wants you in his life and even if you get puzzled about your feelings, he would pursue you and make sure to convince you that you’re making the right choice.

However, when he doesn’t want to have anything serious with you, he will avoid all those important milestones and keep you on the side.

This gives you the illusion that he cares about you when actually he’s trying to show you with his behavior that he isn’t serious about you.

4. He shows you that you aren’t a priority

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 25

When a man wants you, he pursues you. He goes after you and makes sure to show you that you’re the most important person in his life.

He never bails on you and keeps his promises because he knows how important it is for you to trust him.

On the flip side, when he doesn’t want to have anything serious with you, he’ll make sure for you to see that you aren’t his priority.

Even if you agree on going out, he’ll probably let you down.

When he promises to do something for you, he’ll probably break that promise as something more important will come up.

His word means very little when it’s obvious that you can’t trust him.

It’s crystal clear that he doesn’t treat you as a priority and there’s nothing you can do about that.

He’ll always let you down and you’ll constantly feel stressed because of it.

Do you want to live your life like this or do you want to find someone who’ll make sure to put you first, no matter how hard it gets?

Life is hard in itself. You don’t want to make it harder by sticking with a guy who doesn’t want you in his life.

5. It takes him forever to reply to your texts

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 26

Isn’t it weird? When you go out with him, he can’t seem to leave his phone alone, but then when you text him, it takes him ages to reply.

It can’t be that he’s busy because he keeps ghosting you for days.

And thanks to online dating, you see that he’s online but he simply isn’t replying to your messages.

This annoys you and you have no idea what to do about it.

If I were you, I would leave that guy in the past and move on with your life. It’s obvious that he doesn’t care about you.

If he wanted you, he would pursue you and look for ways to win your heart. He would make sure to show you that he cares about you.

He knows that it takes him one second to reply to your message and that second of his time could brighten up your day.

Trust me, he’s aware of that. So, if he wanted to have something serious with you, he would make sure to do something that would make you happy.

Nevertheless, because his intentions aren’t serious, he makes sure to show you that you don’t mean as much to him as he probably means to you.

You could beg for his love and he still wouldn’t change or do anything differently.

He has no feelings for you, and that’s why he keeps doing things that could push you away from him.

It would be okay if he didn’t like you and he openly told you that but it looks like he’s a coward who’s afraid of speaking up, so he keeps pushing you away with his actions.

Run from him as soon as possible!

6. He keeps avoiding you and never invites you out

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 27

You’re the one who texts first, you’re the one who calls first, and you’re the one who always initiates dates.

Does it all look kind of odd? Should he make a move for a change and do something for you?

He would do so if he wanted to be serious with you. If his intentions included you for the long run, he would behave differently.

However, because he’s only there temporarily, he has no reason why he should act more serious with you.

If he wanted to have you around, he would pursue you.

If that happened, you would switch roles and he would be the one who keeps calling you out and taking you on cute dates.

That’s how men work. When they want something, they fight to get it. 

No matter how hard the battle becomes, if he wants you, he will stick with it till his last breath.

So, when he lets you be the one who initiates every message and call, be sure that he doesn’t want anything serious with you.

He’s here only when it’s convenient for him. After that, he’ll be gone.

7. He doesn’t care about your feelings

The Simple Truth - If He Truly Wants You, He Will Pursue You 28

When life gets hard, you need someone who’ll be there for you, to comfort you and be your shoulder to cry on.

And does it feel that every time you share your feelings with this guy, he keeps ignoring them or he tells you that you’re wrong?

And that’s one of the good days when he actually listens to what you have to say…

Sometimes, you feel like you’re talking to a brick wall and the words keep echoing in your mind.

Whatever you do and however you feel, your guy doesn’t seem to care about your feelings.

Does he look to you like a man who wants you in his life or like one who’ll never pursue you, no matter what?

It’s obvious that you can’t make him love you by loving him more. You can’t make him want you and go after you by chasing him.

He has no feelings for you and his intentions differ from yours, which means that you could do everything for him and he still wouldn’t lift a finger for you.

Now, it’s up to you to decide what your next step will be.

Do you want to be stuck in a half-relationship with a guy who’ll never have real feelings for you or do you want to escape this ‘relationship’ and look for happiness somewhere else?

Remember one thing and always keep it in mind – If he wants you, he will pursue you! 

That’s everything you need to know to make the right decision!
