history: I used to be mad when girls wouldn't text me back....but now I'm more happy being unattached and busy making money and as a result they're the ones chasing me now
current: I used to hate it when girls wouldn't text me back.  Now that I'm focused on my job and networking I put little to zero effort in meeting girls...and as a result they're the ones checkin up on me every night lmao
next: Absolutely! I've always noticed that phenomena. If you act too desperate it actually puts them off. On the contrary, acting a little disinterested gets THEM more interested.
