    184. Chasing vs Pursuing: When To Show Interest (And When To Move On)
    Jul 15 2025
    In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between healthy pursuit and unhealthy chasing in dating, because yes, there’s a big difference. I share personal stories of times I chased and was chased, plus the subtle signs someone’s just not that into you (and what to do when that’s the case). You’ll learn how to check your own behavior, spot disinterest early, and avoid wasting energy trying to prove your worth. I also answer listener questions about texting, planning, and "being too available," and wrap up with a new segment, Text Support, and a dating dilemma about a fast-burn romance.
