Playing hard to get - do guys like it?

Myself, I don't like it much.
That was invented really for the girl a long time ago when times were different, so that she didn't look easy.

You don't need to worry. If you like a guy, there's nothing wrong with telling him and dating him when you want to.

My old man told me never chase buses or women, you always get left behind. The answer from me and I think most guys is a resounding NO! I don't know you well enough yet to spend my time, money, energy, or strength to try to get you. Why bother once I finally get you I may not like you at all and will regret chasing you and putting that much effort into it. Besides there are plenty of other women, and call me lazy, but I like the easy pray, and a sure thing. You never even know, sometimes they aren't even playing hard to get, they just want an ego boost by getting some poor sap to chase after them. If i have to chase you, you probably aren't worth it anyway. I've heard some women say "I really want a guy to pursue me. " Why? Who the hell are you I should lower my self respect and chase after you like some dope? She who plays hard to get ends up getting none. To all the guys, NEVER,NEVER, EVER chase after some chick. These are just more stupid emotional responses from women. Women who want you to chase them want to get a little self esteem boost knowing in their heads that she's so great guys chase after her, even if the girl does let you catch her she wants to feel like she's worth your efforts. Girls like this have low self-esteem and are not comfortable with themselves yet. So to women who want to be chased I say go ahead and run, I'll be busy talking to this other fine honey who isn't so shallow that she needs to get self worth by having guys chase her, rather she knows what she's worth already and doesn't need me to chase her. I will never chase after a girl, ever.

I think I can explain this. A man sees something he likes and he wants it immediately. We are visual, masculine creatures and this is natural for us. We want instant gratification, we don't want to be teased. I think women on the other hand LOVE this type of behavior. Women see something they like and they want to 'window shop' for a while. A woman likes to be teased, led on, and even occasionally ignored (hard to get) because they are Emotional creatures. They want to find out how that thing (or person) makes them FEEL first before they grab it. I think this is why so many gals play hard to get, because that's what is attractive to them, just as guys try to be forward and jump right into bed. This is all generalizations and guess-work so if I've offended, my bad. Good question sweetbee, Kyle

Not really. There's a girl that I like that was really flirty with me for a while, and then all of a sudden she got quiet and not very talkative, and I thought she wasn't interested, but then I found out two days ago that she has a HUGE crush on me. But I almost gave up, not because she was playing hard to get, but because it amounts to the same thing in our eyes. Disinterest.

Yeah I really don't like it either. A little bit is good but I'm not going to spend the whole night playing games with you. lol

No. I always mistake it as disinterest.

I personally don't like it if you play to hard to get. A little chase is nice, but don't make me work overtime to get you otherwise I will just start looking else where.
