'where' do you consider the 'line' between showing interest and chasing during dating?

When he asks for your phone number and won't stop e-mailing you. :)

'where' do you consider the 'line' between showing interest and chasing during dating? ...It may not be crossing the line at all; depending on who is doing the chasing, is how fast one runs. 
When he asks for your phone number and won't stop e-mailing you. :) ... or, maybe, they are tired of typing in response.

That's another possible explanation.

how about the "smile" and/or the "wink", pretty much any other advances can be considered chasing to me.

Showing an interest in getting to know someone better is totally different than chasing someone......Why would anyone enjoy the chase? We are adults...isn't the whole purpose to get to know some one, to see if there is mutual interest. That can only be done, by two adults...being open and honest....
Why chase someone who runs the opposite direction? Such a waste of time. Why play running games, if your not interested.....people get hurt that way.
Either there is mutual interest and you explore further or do the other a favor and just say.....Hey, it doesn't do it for me....and wish each other the best of luck....
I guess "children" need the stroking of the games.........being an adult....I sure don't and I guess it gives us a clue as to someones maturity level if we see that they do..... Me, I certainly dont want to be raising any more KIDS....

Flirting, playing, getting to know each other seems to me, to be totally different than "chasing and running"....... But each to their own.......that's what makes each of us different........and best to attract the same type of mentality....in the opposite sex....... Just like "givers" and "takers" each works best with their own groups....
Aw and nice to see you Tink....makes me feel special..having a fan club following me around......Nice to know what I post holds your interest.....

Chasing is when every 3rd phone call is him.
He calls to ask where are you.
You are in Walmart, look up & see him staring at you.
Interest is when they tell you they like you, you date
but do not feel smothered.
And too if everyone would be honest, there would be
no reason to chase, smother or stalk anyone.
They would know how you felt and deal with it.

I agree, zulamaze, that noone likes to be "smothered" and definitely not "stalked"...it was honestly hard to tell the OP's intent here with her question.
I do put stalking in another category all together from "chasing". If I am interested in a man, I definitely prefer one that is persistent and will do the "chasing"...just old fashioned in that way I guess. However, if there is no interest, I will tell him so, and if he continues to persist, that's when I would be more likely to use a term such as "stalking".
The chase IMO is the fun part if there is interest. ;)

I would think, men play running games for the same reason women instruct their daughters, “Play hard to get, when you're sincerely interested in a guy."
Why would anyone enjoy the chase? I think we’re about to find out?

'where' do you consider the 'line' between showing interest and chasing during dating?
When anyone becomes obsessive and possessive they have crossed the line.
