I see. Thanks for explaining the history of the story.

Yep, you can ask any woman who's put up with advances from guys in her lifetime. Inevitably the guys who have the she-wants-me attitude the worst are the ugliest and most insecure losers trying to go for the attractive women who are the most out of their reach. Which is why they have to tell themselves "she wants me" so much to help boost their unfortunate self-esteem. Because chances are they've been rejected. A LOT.

Attractive men with normal confidence levels don't have to lie to themselves to feel better. They tend to recognize that if she wants them, she'll eventually let them know. But they know how to play it cool at first and are experienced enough to recognize that if she initially wants them, she'll probably start acting right away like she's not interested at all and playing hard to get.
