Meaning
This reads as advice about matching ambition, not trying to repair someone else’s momentum. It can be taken to mean that attraction is undermined when one person has to keep motivating the other like a coach instead of an equal partner. It lands in dating conversations where one side is carrying all the effort and starts to feel more responsible than desired.
