I have no idea why this happens, but when I was dating, it happened to me all the time too. I took time off dating and swore that I wouldn't be so easy the next time... but I was anyway and I've been with him for six years now.

So I don't think it is because you gave it up too quickly or anything like that -- I am not sure if we will ever know why this seems to be a dating pattern. I'm just writing it off to the way some people are.

When I look back at my dating life, I think chasing men when you get the feeling that they are ignoring you or aren't interested is a waste of time. Personally, I wish I had spent less time doing that that I had been quicker to just forget about some people.
