Summary

This quote suggests that, in the context of romantic pursuits, a woman initially rejects a man's advances but eventually takes a stronger stance by preventing him from pulling away or distancing himself from her. It implies that the woman's initial resistance gradually transforms into a position of power and influence over the man's choices and actions. This interpretation highlights the potential for a shift in dynamics during the pursuit of a romantic relationship, where the woman goes from being reactive to assertive in terms of shaping the course of the interaction.
