I was just wondering since everyone always says that if you play hard to get the guy wants you even more. Is this true? Why/why not? Feedback please.

Well, it's true in the beginning. But if you keep playing hard to get constantly, the guy will eventually lose interest and go for another more accessible girl.

And playing hard to get for me, honestly, is just playing childish games. Cut the crap, and tell him you like him.

^ True.




It's both genders. The more you can't attain something the more the interest is sparked to try and have it.

And also, if your hot, some guys thinks it makes you more mysterious or some shit.

Playing hard to get? Maann, I've got serious shit to do other than chasing your ass. I think it's really childish. Playing 'hard to get' is a huge turn off to me.

^ Lazy :0

lol

haha my boyfriend said that playing hard to get is cool in the beginning.. but constantly doing it.. gets annoying..

Meh, playing hard to get just gets rather manipulative after a while.

Some people get tired of it.

I did this with my boyfriend. Not so much 'hard to get', but 'I'm not ready for the 'R' word'. Turned out to be the same difference really - playing hard to get is a good way in which to gage just how much someone likes you, and how far they are prepared to go.

I played hard to get with my first boyfriend for over a year; mainly because I had never been in a relationship before and I wasn't sure whether I wanted to be. It didn't put him off at all, and it showed me just how deeply and how selflessly he cared for me, and still does.

As long as you're not too coy about it, and you don't use your suitors for your own ends, it's a simple way to attract those that will be right for you. Think about what they did in the good ole 'olden days'.

Well, I think not knowing that you're ready for the relationship or finding out if the other person is even attracted to you is slightly different from playing hard to get.

Playing hard to get to me is when you know the other person is attracted to you and that you are attracted to the other person as well but instead of saying so, you pretend to be not interested and, thus, prolong the inevitable.

Wow, I don't even know what I typed even makes sense, but I tried.

Yeah, that makes sense. I think perhaps 'playing hard to get' means something different depending on what context you use it in.

There's deliberate, and there's cautious methinks.

Hmm?

Yeah, pretty much. It's a game to see if you'll crack.

It's something I did in my younger days~~ lol. Not now, I rather just put myself out there and say, "This is me. Take it or leave it."

Yeah, I agree.

Idk what even made me post this topic I dont even play hard to get because I would rather just put myself out there and tell them I like them or dont like them. But you guys can keep posting =)

i think it's annoying as hell. and bill kaulitz is gay, but he sings pretty well

When did Bill Kaulitz come into the picture? ^

Lmao Bill Kaulitz is freaking SEXY and no, hes not gay he said he wasnt in an interview but yeah he does sing really well.

Hes in my signature and advitar.

^ Oooh I didn't know who that was.

He is pretty sexy.

Playing hard to get should be done to the very minimal.

Its really Irritating and gets boring after a while to deal with people who are always like that.

Lmao I know

The singer? I absolutely do not see a guy when I see that picture. I see a cute little girl. What the hell?

That's one creepy guy.

Well, I guess we all have our own taste

^he/she wears more make-up than my last girlfriend did....which is pretty sad but whatev...

i loved it when they did back in high school, but i dont have the time for all that in college now, especially when there are a million things to be done

playing hard to get is a huge game because people like a challenge. playing hard to get works. so people are always going to do it!

Not at all. I find it that if they show no interest, I don't really bother or think much of it. If the girl shows interest, it's contagious, and it makes me think about her..

YES. YES IT DOES. Manipulation SUCKS when you're the one being manipulated.
