I remember my mother saying "A man chases a woman until she catches him." It was certainly true in my parents' case. Mom fancied my dad, but he was living/working in Washington DC; she was in NY, NY, where they grew up (on the same street, actually, but I digress...). So she found out from his mother when he was due back home for a visit, & just "happened" to be walking her dog by the station when his train arrived...
Him: Oh, hello! Do you often walk your dog 'round here at midnight?
Her: Oh yes... all the time. (not!!)
They started chatting & before too long, he said, "Well, you'll have to come out to DC for a visit sometime."
