“Don’t chase them, if they want you they’ll come to you.”
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. You can’t just expect to wait for someone because they could be doing the exact same thing. You waiting for them while they are waiting for you just seems counterproductive. By playing this ridiculous waiting game, one person thinks the other person doesn’t care and then it will just lead to a big unnecessary mess. Then follows the whole dramatic bullshit. Get out of here. If you want them, just go for it.
