Chased Love Is Not Real Love:

In the world of modern dating, the thrill of the chase often gets confused with real love by men. Due to brainwashing from media and society guys actually think that chasing women like a crazy person is actually attractive to women. A recent Netflix series called “You” demonstrated stalker behaviors and the media seemed to be very willing to accept it as romantic.


Now in the real world that will land you in jail and no you as a man should not be chasing women. But due to brainwashing by movies, this needy, clingy stalker-type behavior is something men tend to follow. Either consciously or subconsciously. It’s a script most men who are not experienced with women unknowingly follow in dating.

It goes something like this: You meet someone who catches your interest, and suddenly, you’re in pursuit mode. Flowers, late-night texts, bending over backward to show her your worth, stalking her online on social media, or at her workplace. You’re chasing, chasing, chasing—hoping that if you do enough, say enough, be enough, she’ll finally love you back.

But here’s the cold, hard truth: chased love is not real love. No matter how much you love someone if that person doesn’t love you back its not gonna suddenly make her fall in love with you.

That only happens in movies and men need to disconnect from the movie world and stay in the real world.

If you think falling in love means having to constantly chase someone’s attention, affection, or commitment. You have been brainwashed. It’s not love—it’s an obsession. And that kind of energy? It’s exhausting, one-sided, creepy, and ultimately unfulfilling.

Movies and TV shows just make matters worse by showing a fake reality of how love works. We’ve all seen it in movies and heard it in songs. But here’s the hard truth: chased love is not real love. If you’re constantly chasing after someone, you might be mistaking obsession or infatuation for love.

As a dating coach, I’ve seen too many men fall into this trap. They confuse chasing and simping with love, thinking that if they love her hard enough eventually they will win her over. But love isn’t something you “win.” It’s something that’s given, without conditions or strings attached.

Let’s talk about why chasing love is a losing game—and what to do instead.

Let’s dive into why real love doesn’t need to be chased:

1. The Nature of Chased Love:

Chased love is inherently unbalanced because it’s a one-sided affair. Love is something that needs to come from both sides where both people are putting efforts to be together. When only one person is doing everything and putting in all the effort. This one-sided effort creates an illusion of love, but it’s more about the thrill of the hunt than love at that point. If you find that you are always trying to win someone over, constantly seeking their attention, you’re likely caught up in oneitus, not real love.

If she is attracted to you she will make sure to connect with you. She will call you, and try to connect with you as well. If she is not attracted to you then you need to move on. There is no point in trying to force someone to like you. Thats never gonna happen.

True love is a two-way street. It’s built on mutual effort, respect, and connection. If you’re the only one doing the work, you’re not building a partnership—you’re chasing validation.

What to Do:

  • Stop chasing and start attracting women. Is she meeting you halfway? Is she showing interest and effort? If not know its time to leave.
  • Look for balance. Love thrives when both people are equally invested.

2. Why Chased Love Isn’t Sustainable

Chased love feels exciting because of the movies and TV shows and the image that they have created in the minds of men. But if you really think about it logically it’s not sustainable. Like I mentioned before love needs two people to work together. The entire concept that you need to convince someone to love you is wrong.

If they find you attractive they will make efforts to be with you. Otherwise, they will just enjoy the attention and validation and then ghost you for someone else. Not only is that a waste of time for you. It’s gonna break your self-confidence and self-esteem if you keep getting used like that.

Let’s be honest: chasing someone who isn’t fully into you takes a toll. Every unanswered text, every one-sided effort, chips away at your self-esteem. You start questioning your worth, thinking, If only I tried harder, she’d love me back.

But here’s the truth: your worth isn’t tied to someone else’s approval. Chasing puts her on a pedestal and makes you forget that you’re deserving of someone who chooses you wholeheartedly.

Have some self-respect. You deserve amazing women. Stop chasing the ones that are toxic.

What to Do:

  • Shift your mindset. Instead of asking, “How can I get her to like me?” ask, “Is she showing me she’s worth my time?”
  • Build your confidence by focusing on your passions, goals, and self-improvement. Confidence comes from within, not from someone else’s validation.

3. Real Love Is Mutual

True love is a two-way street. I can’t stress this enough real love is always mutual, where both individuals are equally invested in each other’s happiness and well-being. There’s no need for games, manipulation, or the chase.

Chased love often stems from infatuation and oneitus. It’s easy to mistake the adrenaline rush of pursuing someone for genuine feelings. If you’re constantly chasing someone who isn’t interested in you, it’s important to ask yourself if you’re truly in love or just infatuated with the idea of winning them over.

You can’t convince someone to love you. You can’t hustle your way into their heart. Real love is natural. It grows naturally when there’s genuine connection, respect, and chemistry.

Stop falling for movie stories. And while persistence works in business, it rarely works in matters of the heart.

What to Do:

  • Let go of the need to control. Trust that the right person will meet you with the same energy you bring.
  • Focus on building connections, not forcing them. Love isn’t a race—it’s a journey.

4. How to Recognize Real Love

Think about it: if you’re constantly chasing her, what happens when you stop? Does she stop loving you? Does her interest fade? Does the relationship crumble?

Chased love often feels conditional—like it only exists because you’re putting in all the effort. That’s not love; that’s dependency. Real love is unconditional. It doesn’t require chasing because it’s rooted in mutual desire and respect.

What to Do:

  • Pay attention to how she responds when you stop chasing. Does she step up, or does she ignore you?
  • Seek relationships where effort flows naturally from both sides.

So, how do you know if what you’re experiencing is real love? Here are a few key signs:

  • Mutual Respect: In a relationship, both partners respect each other’s boundaries, and feelings. The same is the case even in the courting phase. There’s no need to chase her, cause if she is attracted to you she will also be trying to connect with you.
  • Effort from Both Sides: In a healthy relationship, both individuals put in the effort to make each other feel loved and appreciated. It’s not one person doing all the work; it’s a team effort. You are partners.
  • Growth and Support: Real love encourages personal growth and self-improvement. Your partner supports your goals, dreams, and aspirations, and you do the same for them.

5. Breaking Free from the Cycle of Chased Love

Here’s the bottom line: you deserve someone who chooses you. Someone who sees your value without you having to prove it. Someone who meets you with the same energy and effort you bring to the table.

Chasing love often leads to settling—accepting less than you deserve because you’re so focused on “winning” her over. But real love? It feels like home.

What to Do:

  • Know Your Worth: Understand that you deserve a partner who values you as much as you value them. Don’t settle for someone who doesn’t put effort into being with you.
  • Set Healthy Boundaries: Establish boundaries that protect yourself. Don’t allow yourself taken for granted.
  • Seek Genuine Connections: Look for relationships where there is mutual interest and effort from the beginning. You do not need someone to complete you. You are already complete. Love requires two complete people to come together.

Conclusion:

Chased love might seem romantic in the short term due to the influence of movies and TV shows, but it’s not the way love works. But in reality, it’s a trap. Love that needs to be chased isn’t sustainable, fulfilling, or real. Real love doesn’t need to be chased because it’s built on mutual respect and attraction.

The kind of love you want—the kind that’s deep, mutual, and lasting—won’t require you to chase it.
