How do you play the game?

ignoring isn't really the thing. if a guy ignored me I would think he didn't like me and I would get over it. I think what your friend was getting at is that girls don't like it when a guy throws himself at her. Just like guys don't like it when girls throw themselves at you. Don't ignore her, but have some dignity and show you like her in a calm non desperate manner and you'll be fine =)

Umm well if a guy I like starts ignoring me then I would think he is not interested so I would move on. I hate the entire game crap. its so rediculous and a complete waste of time. if you like someone and the feeling is mutual WTHell is stopping yall from being together? Why wait when you can be having fun together. Heck with the challenge crap. I will fall out of interest if the guy I like plays hard to get and ignores me because I will get mad therefore think he is not intersted/that into me/doesn't think about me so I will go to the next and therefore lose interest. If they show interest in me, and I like them, and they maintain this interest/contact then I become more interested since I get to know them better and know their true feelings. Maybe this is just me but I think it's all over rated and I think the opposite of your girl friend. Just don't overdo your contact/interest.

When you show too much interest you stop being a challenge. Since humans value what we have to work for, when women know they've got you hooked their interest level plummets.

Check out the Venusian Arts Handbook or Magic Bullets. Both are ebooks that talk about the evolutionary psychology behind dating and what is going on under the hood. The Game, by Neil Strauss, it's also a great book highlighting some of the key principles I'm talking about and what's possible once you learn how to apply them to your dating life.

It's only because, when most guys let a girl know they like them, they expect the feeling to suddenly be mutual. They stop and expect the girl to start dating them asap. This is what turns a girl off. It's like "oh, he likes me. and he wants me to do something about it."
