As a girl I was a tomboy so of course more of my friends were boys as compared to girls. We played softball, football, dodge ball and even play fighting. I was not a girly girl like my sister so the boys accepted me as one of them and we all had fun together.
All was good this one school year except I could not figure out why this one boy chased me home from school nearly every day. And since he was not one of my friends whenever I saw him I would be ready to run.
One day after running home from school from my smiling and giggling tormentor I asked my Mom why is this boy chasing me home from school every day saying “he is going to get me”. My Mom could tell I was scared so she asked me some questions about what he says and if he ever hit me. I told her does not and that I never even talk to him so I didn’t know why he was chasing me. All I knew was that I wanted her to go and tell him Mom to make him stop.
My Mom said she knew why he was chasing me and said not to worry. She told me that he chases me because he “likes me”, but that confused my little 8 year old brain because the boys that I played with were my friends and I thought they liked me. It took a few more years to figure out the kind of “like” my Mom was talking about.
Thinking back on that experience and many others over the years have made me curious about how men pursue or in other words “lovingly” chase women. Seems men are on their “best game” when they are chasing a woman.
