If a girl has ever told you some form of "you're more interested in me than I am in you" — this post is for you. She may have told ya she doesn't "feel the same way" as you do... or that "you're a nice guy, but I don't think this will work out".

There's a very specific reason that keeps happening, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. The fix isn't complicated, but it is counterintuitive to everything most guys think they should be doing.

A client of mine named Sam sent me this question and honestly... it's one I used to struggle with too.

He told me that in the last four relationships he's been in — four — the girl has told him the same thing... with maybe slightly different wording:

"You're more interested in me than I am in you."

And now it's happening AGAIN with a new girl. She's already saying it. And Sam is sitting there thinking what every reasonable guy thinks: isn't that a good thing? Don't I want to be into her?

I get it. I was in that same headspace for years. You like a girl, you want her to know you like her, you start showing it — and somehow that's the problem.

Here's the truth: it's not that you're too interested. It's that you're showing it too SOON.

The Poker Player Problem

In today's video I walk you through the exact mindset shift, but let me explain it here too.

There's a principle I teach called Poker Player Texting (and Poker Player Attraction). The idea is simple: if you reveal your cards too early, you lose the hand (and the girl).

When you're on a date and you're CONSTANTLY trying to hold her hand... always the one leaning in for the kiss... always the one putting your arm around her... you're showing your full hand. She now knows exactly where you stand, and women — biologically — want to win a man over, not have him handed to them on a plate.

(It sounds backwards. I know. But stick with me.)

Men are wired to want certainty. When we like someone, we want to KNOW — are we together? Is this going somewhere? That's how we're built. Women are the opposite. They want it to unfold. They want to be overwhelmingly into a man before they lock it in. They want the organic chase.

The problem is most guys never give them that chance to CHASE.

What I Changed (And How It Worked For Me)

I used to be the guy always reaching for her hand. Always wanting to hug, to hold, to show I was into it. And I kept getting the same result — girls pulling back, saying "you're more into this than I am."

Now? I go on dates and I still WANT to hold her hand. That part hasn't changed. I still like being physical with a woman. But I let HER go for it first.

My job as a man is not to grab everything I want the moment I feel it.

My job is to create an experience good enough that she WANTS to come to me.

Think of yourself as a magnet. A magnet doesn't chase the metal — it just has a pull. Your job is to build the environment, show up with the right energy, and let her feel that pull toward you naturally.

The Subtle Shift Nobody Talks About

Here's where it gets really specific — and this is the part most guys completely miss.

When I was the video above, I had just recently went on a date to see the Beauty and the Beast live action movie in theaters. And I want you to understand the before and after here of my mindset on dates of what OLD Adam would have done, and what current Adam (aka the TextingPrince) plays it now. Because it's subtle but it changes EVERYTHING.

Before the shift: I would have walked into a movie date excited to be with her... the girl I was with. She was the main event. I didn't care what movie I saw, I only cared that I was getting to watch a movie with a pretty girl. The movie was just the backdrop.

After the shift: I walk in excited for that MOVIE. The experience of the movie theater. I channel back to my inner kid self of genuinely ENJOYING the experience of getting to go to the movies and seeing a movie I want to see. The movie and the experience of the movie theater is what excites me... not THE GIRL. I see the girl I am with is just the cherry on top of the experience. NOT the main event.

Same date. Same girl. Completely different dynamic.

When you're focused on her, she feels it. Not as flattery — as PRESSURE. She's thinking "oh god he's already so invested" and she starts pulling away. But when you're genuinely into the experience, into your life, into where you're going — she starts wondering how she gets to be more of a part of it.

That's the switch.

Sam mentioned in the video that he was on a bus ride with this girl he was really into from his school. And his mind was completely occupied with THE GIRL. He was sitting there always wanting to hold her hand, always trying to make her laugh, completely focused on her.

If instead he's excited about where they're GOING — looking forward to the destination, cracking jokes with everyone on the bus, just fully present and energized by life — she would be the one scooting closer to him. She would be the one grabbing HIS hand.

That's not a trick. That's just what happens when you stop making her the center and start letting your life be the center.

What Happens On First Dates When You Get This Right

I'll be real with you — on a first date now, I get a kiss probably 19 out of 20 times. And I am NEVER the one blindly pushing or pressuring her to get it.

I'm always locked into the experience. Having fun. Staying present with the moment. And at some point during the night the girl just... scoots in closer. Then a little closer. And at some point she's basically all over me and I'm doing this playful lean-back like "hey wait — I'm focused on this game of pool right now, you're cute and all but I'm trying to WIN."

That's the game she LOVES. She's trying to get YOUR attention, not the other way around.

When you've been over-investing — basically what she's saying when she says "you're more into me than I am into you" — you've put all your focus on HER and now she's carrying your entire emotional experience. That's heavy. That's a lot of pressure for someone who's just trying to get to know you.

But when your experience is genuinely about enjoying your life, your goals, where you're headed? She's not carrying anything. She's just watching a guy enjoy his life and thinking — I want in on that.

Here's the truth: when you take the pressure OFF is when she starts to CHASE. She'll start initiating texts. She'll start asking where this is going. She'll be the one trying to lock YOU down.

That's the whole game.

This Also Shows Up In Your Texts

This same principle — making the experience the main event, not her — plays out in texting too.

Guys who are over-invested don't just show it on dates. They show it over text. They're always the first to reach out. Always texting longer messages than she is. Always firing off a follow-up because she took too long to reply.

And every one of those moves is sending the same signal: I am more invested in this than you are.

I teach something called the Ping-Pong Rule — you hit the ball, she hits it back. If she doesn't hit it back, you wait. You do NOT send a second ball. The guy who keeps serving when she's not returning is the guy she loses interest in.

How much EFFORT you put in over text matters just as much as what you actually say. If you're always giving more than she is — more texts, more words, more energy — you are teaching her that your time and attention comes cheap. And women do not chase things that come cheap.

The One Thing You Have to Stop Doing

You have to stop making her the prize.

I know — everyone tells you to treat her well, show her you care, be consistent. And yes, that SOUNDS good on paper... or in a Hollywood chick flick. But in reality - that is where you go too far and you become the guy who built his whole world around her before she's even earned it.

She becomes the main event. You become her audience.

That dynamic kills attraction. Not immediately — but it does. And you'll feel it in moments exactly like what Sam described: her pulling back, saying you're more into it than she is, the whole thing slowly falling apart even though you did everything right.

The fix isn't to stop caring. The fix is to stop SHOWING it so much before she shows it first.

Stay unpredictable. Stay in your life. Let her be a bonus to an already great experience you're having — not the reason the experience is great.

And the boundaries piece matters too. When you over-invest like this it usually means you have no real standards for what she needs to bring to the table. Read: Why You Must Set Boundaries With Women (The Cookie Jar Theory)

Frequently Asked Questions About Making Her Chase You

Q: If I stop showing interest won't she just think I don't like her?

A: No — and this is where guys get tripped up. There's a difference between being cold and being in your own life. You're still warm. Still fun. Still engaged. You're just not DESPERATE. The man she loses interest in isn't the guy who doesn't show up — it's the guy who shows up so eagerly that there's nothing left for her to chase. The difference is subtle but women pick up on it instantly — and perceived disinterest from a man who's clearly not desperate reads as HIGH status to a woman's brain, not rejection.

Q: What if she actually says "you seem more interested in me than I am in you" — what do I do?

A: First, don't get defensive. Don't justify yourself. That response is telling you something real — you've been over-investing. The move is to pull back on the investment, not the connection. Stop initiating as much. Stop making plans exclusively around her. Get back into your own life. You're not being mean — you're just recalibrating. And that recalibration is what creates the attraction she's currently not feeling.

Q: Does this work in long-term relationships too?

A: 100%. I've kept attraction alive with women I've seen off and on for years using exactly this. You never fully show your whole hand. You're always at least a little bit focused on your own life, your own goals. The second you become completely predictable and fully "hers" with no mystery left — that's when the relationship starts to flatline. Women need to feel like they're still earning your best. Keep them in that space and the dynamic stays alive.

Q: I genuinely just really like this girl. Isn't it wrong to "hold back"?

A: You're not holding back who you are — you're just not putting all your emotional investment on the table before it's been earned. I like holding a girl's hand. I like being physical and affectionate. I just let HER go for it first. That's not a game. That's having self-respect. The truth is — the guy who lets things unfold on her timeline instead of forcing it is the guy she ends up REALLY wanting. Not because he played games. Because he actually had a life.
