Demetrius and Helena have the most intriguing build-up to their relationship. They simultaneous have feelings of affection and spite between each other. I've often heard the remark made that in any blossoming relationship, there is always one party chasing the other, and the will two switch sides between chaser and chasee many times.
That's what happens between our little couple hear. While Demetrius initially despises Helena and her obsessive pursuit of him, a little bit of Cupid's potion manages to reverse the roles. Demetrius chases her, but in his new submissive character and vulnerability, Helena no longer feels the same attraction. She senses that something has changed in his character and feels discomforted alienation in their new "relationship" dynamic.
Eventually, the two are only able to enjoy each other when they come to a co-equal understanding of their love and desire for each other. Such is the real nature of everlasting love.

I did get annoyed with Helena and her chaseing game. When Demetrius confesses his love she got mad at me. I did not understand. I felt that Helena just wanted attention but not really love from Demetrius.
