REESE Witherspoon learned to stop chasing men and let them pursue her.
The 34-year-old actress — who recently announced her engagement to Hollywood agent Jim Toth after almost a year of dating — was advised by her friends to change her approach to romance and believes her new attitude worked well.
“A good girlfriend of mine said to me there’s something you learn as you get older as a woman: stop chasing after men and start looking at the men that are chasing after you,” she said.
“That’s a hard thing to recognize, but it really rings true with me.”
Reese — who has children Ava, 11, and seven-year-old Deacon with former husband Ryan Phillippe — also admitted she has learned that it is important to have a good level of balance in her life so she stays happy in both her professional and personal pursuits.
“It’s important to cultivate a personal life that makes you just as happy as your professional life and I work really hard on that,” she said.
“I have a lot of interests so your whole life isn’t just about making movies. That’s a dangerous place to be.”
