I might not have researched enough, but the vibe I’m getting is that you shouldn’t pursue women since they don’t like guys that aren’t a challenge, and it’s a turnoff if she knows you like her. But if you aren’t supposed to pursue women, how do you get the one you want?

I’ve also heard that you shouldn’t be more interested in her than she is in you, is this a good rule to go by? If it is, how does the relationship progress if she isn’t comfortable with taking the big steps of asking the other out and such?
