I don't want women to play hard to get, but I also don't want them to give it all away for fee. People just shouldn't think they have to try harder or be more distant in a relationship to achieve a certain end. Holding guys to higher standards is also very frustrating because they often have no idea what's going on in the woman's brain if she's playing hard to get, so it's just unnecessary grief for the guy.
Though this is only for me, I'm sure some guys enjoy chasing after a woman. I just think both people should be honest.
Playing hard to get is in a way a good thing cause some guys think girls are easy if they fall in love quickly. Don't know what is wrong with them? But what you shouldn't do is shut him out totally. Let him guess but not lose hope. Getting hurt by someone emotionally IS the worst feeling ever. It happened to me 7 times before so they really messed me up. But everybody has their soul mate, we just sometimes don't open our eyes.
Personally, I hate it when a girl tries to play mind games. It may work to some extent at first but after a while the guy may just get annoyed, bored, or end up really believing that you're just being flirtatious and not really interested in him. Though I have to say some guys are all in it for the "pursuit" so playing hard to get just makes it more of a fun challenge for them. So in the end it really depends on the guy.
What if the girl just doesn't let him get in her head easily. Like, if it's a guy that thinks he can get her, but she wants him to prove himself by fighting for her? - 2 months ago
Well I personally don't like going after girls who show interest in many men although I do like playing the job of a master thief and snagging her from many men interested in her. If I decide she's playing too hard to get I'll generally back off and give her a second chance if she comes back a little softer. - 2 months ago

What if she's just interested in you? But, she wants to see if you're worth it - 2 months ago

I wouldn't call being careful playing hard to get. I'm currently interested in a girl who seems pretty guarded and its been quite frustrating and yet rewarding when she opens up a little more. My definition of playing hard to get is when the girl and guy both like each other and she knows he's a good guy but she keeps playing hard to get thinking that it'll make him like her even more or more desperate. But it just ends up being a major turnoff. - 2 months ago
Question Asker
Alright so I worded it wrong. That's how I am too, very guarded, getting hurt by a guy is honestly one of the worst feelings in the world. - 2 months ago
It isn't about playing hard to get as it is about setting boundaries. People don't set boundaries in the beginning of the relationship because it is new but what happens is you decide after your in the thick of the relationship what you do, don't, want and need and a lot of the time it's to late.
Always keep yourself an equal to your partner, never think that the things you like or the interest you have are second to your partners life. Never be a conformist.
I like your distinction of setting boundaries rather than playing hard to get. I think playing hard to get just leaves a person alone. Not sure about the conformist thing though. - 2 months ago

Thanks......Many Co dependent persons do what we call conforming..........for example the person meets a guy who goes to the gym daily.......she really has never been much into going to the gym but her boyfriend talks her into joining.........and she now goes to the gym because her boyfriend does...........she isn't doing it for her.........! - 2 months ago
