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.

Feedback please. 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.

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? |

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. |

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..

Yeah, when it's more manipulative, it's just a game for one side's amusement and becomes less fun for both sides.
Toying with someone's emotions =

Eh, I think people play hard to get just for the attention. Eventually the other person's going to loose interest.

I actually like a chase.
 But if they don't show ANY signs of interest, then yeah, I'll probably go for an easier target. Sigh. But, playing hard to get, that's fine with me. I like a challenge.
