A question how would you write about this?
A female werewolf with a decent amount of money (read semi-wealthy) pursues a human male (read potential mate) seemingly middle class or something. What does she do to pursue him?

Jogging. Yuppies jog. Any town park, early morning or evening, seems to be thick with yuppie joggers.
So the victim is flattered that this beautiful yuppie girl is quietly racing him each morning. It's a kind of flirting. They don't talk, but he enjoys letting her chase him...
... and the the evenings get darker, and it's a full moon, and the girl transforms and suddenly he is running for his life...
Do you mean 'pursue' rather than peruse? Or does she want to read him like a book?

if you have the Rasafracking brand Spellchecker you have one of the higher quality ones, even if it is a rip-off look a like it's way a head of some of the more common ones like the Microsoft Office Spellchecker which only works well when using Swahili.
I had no malign intent there, I just wanted to clarify for the benefit of other responders.
Me, I'm a sucker for people of all genders who are walking their dogs. I stop and chat (from 6ft away, of course) to dog-walkers I regularly meet while exercising - and that includes several women.
However, I can't see that as being of any benefit to your scenario - whoever heard of a dog-owning werewif!

In the name of witty retort, let me say this...
i have one thing to say to your comment about a dog-owning werewolf.
If you think a dog owning werewolf is rare, then more unbelievable than that is a cat owning werewolf :P

And even less believable is a cat-owning werewif taking her pet for a walk on a lead ;-)

Depends on what kind of cat. It's not so odd for a Maine coon or a Bengal.

Now there's a conundrum - if I ever see any, will I treat the cat-walker like a dog-walker? Or am I a racist?

A werewif would be a hermaphrodite.
I'm not sure someone who could shape shift back and forth between male and female would qualify as a hermaphrodite.
qualify as a hermaphrodite
If you can provide both eggs and sperm, you are one. One on-line search indicated there are about 700 known cases. I doubt a true hermaphrodite is required to produce both at the same time, so a "shape shifter" would qualify as he/she could do both.
It would be a serious problem if he/she shifted from female to male in the middle of a pregnancy.
I believe that the shifting wouldn't be perfect in that case, if at all possible. While she/he probably couldn't give natural birth while in male form, that's easily corrected by shifting back to female form.
It would be a serious problem if he/she shifted from female to male in the middle of a pregnancy.
You can resolve that in many ways, it all depends on how you want to resolve it.
I had that very thing come up in one of my stories. In it (a spin of the superhero story) I had a main character that was female, but shifted to male in her "hero form". And by the time this came up in the story, I had already worked it out.
Since a male has no womb, the fetus just "disappears". Not even an abortion, like it never was. And this later became a plot point for part of the story.
But since such changes are in a paranormal story "magical", it could also simply be that the fetus is kept in a "magical jar" until the person shifts back. There really is no right or wrong way to resolve it.
Should be "wifwolf".
Tarnation, I can be really, really stupid at times!
Thank you for the correction and humble apologies to all the other contributors to this topic.

Hindu fracking. And some people wonder how new words are born...
whoever heard of a dog-owning werewif!
The dog that the werebabe is exercising could be a sister or half-sister-half-real-dog.
Or the dog itself could be the werebabe.
"She likes it really", explained the werewif happily, glancing at her glowering pet cat, "she just plays hard to catch"
cat-walker
I used to have sable Burmese. Got a collar and leash and put it on the cat. Cat lay down and wouldn't go anywhere. My guess is that if you want to take a cat on a walk it will ride on your shoulder. Cat backward is Tac, they are nailed in place if you want them to go somewhere.

nailed in place
I can find the letters for 'blue' in there but not 'Norwegian' ;-)

My biggest problem with spell check is you have to at least get close to the spelling for it to suggest the right word and then it only gives you 3 choices.
What I do is open a new window and use Google search and start typing in the word and get a lot of different choices.
This is all very amusing but it's not furthering the OP's suggestion bank.
I recall a recent TV crime drama episode in which a man deliberately got into a fender-bender with a woman so he could get to know her (and murder her housemate). That might work for the OP if the sexes were reversed.

What does she do to pursue him?
Based on the very limited experience I have with werepersons, her first step might be to purchase a giant, economy sized tub of depilatory cream. Just sayin'. Perhaps she could ask for his help choosing an electric razor?
