BlackMan Time

Don’t you just love it in the movies when a couple splits up in a scene where the woman tearfully walks away from the man after saying dialogue such as: “I love you but…you’ve upset me. And now I must go. Goodbye and don’t try to stop me…”

He initially tries feably to stop her but seeing how determined she is to leave, he just sighs resignedly in a gesture that says: “aw, well…” Then he turns and goes about his previous business, thinking about what just happened there…

Some time later he runs into the woman again. They strike up a conversation which is initially awkward but after a while they fall back into a groove.

At a key point he says what’s really on his mind: “Why did you run off like that?” She replies something likeo: “I just wanted to see if you would run after me.”

The question I’m asking is why do women manipulate situations like that? Why is it so important to test a man this way? What does the “run after me” part mean to a woman?

It just seem so unnecessary and pointless from a man’s perspective…
