Some wise words from one of the greatest philosophers of all time.... seems to me the dynamics of the male / female chase has been a predicament since the beginning of time. It's all in the fun :)

"One man prays thus: How might I sleep with that woman? Do you pray: How shall I not desire to sleep with her?... In fine, turn your prayers this way, and see what comes."

-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book IX, 40.
