The whole chasing thing gets so old. If only the runners felt the same way 
When the chaser pulls away and stops contacting the runner, they initially feel relief. But then it hits them and they can’t stop thinking about you. They feel you and want you more than before. Can go into soul shock, actually - that overwhelming isolation and sadness, dark night of the soul type thing. They also start to understand they caused the separation, which brings up feelings of regret and unworthiness.
The runner often carries more masculine energy (this isn’t about gender, men can be divine feminine and vice versa) and they run because the connection is too intense. They fear it’s moving too fast or seems too good to be true. When you stop chasing, you’re removing the dynamic that was keeping them running in the first place.
You can try to ignore them, but you can’t actually remove the bond. You can choose to stop focusing on them, though. And that’s usually when things start getting better. When the chaser stops, the runner starts coming back. Not always immediately obvious, it could be months or longer.
One more thing - chasing usually comes from fear. Fear that you’re not enough alone, that love won’t stay. So when you stop chasing, you’re healing that fear in yourself too
