It seems a cruel truth in dating that enthusiasm and open pursuit are enormous turn offs. The irony is that people who are genuinely, authentically warm and charming are the best people and likely make the best partners. These people are the most valuable in the world. No apathetic, cold human has ever contributed anything of value to the world.

In your experience, tell what works - being ice cold and pretending to have no interest... or being pursuing someone openly, charming them and paying them attention.
