Has playing hard to get ever backfired on you?

[Anonymous]

Have you played hard to get with a girl/guy and have it backfire on you?

What tactics did you use?

How long did you play and how did he/she end up dropping you?

Write whatever else you can think about. I'm just curious if this game really works or if it's a myth.

I'm asking because, my Boyfriend tried this in the beginning. I deleted his # and started talking to other people. Then he started chasing ME and asking me to be with him. I think the game is stupid and wanted to read stories from other people.

*When he hanqs up on yu instead of callinq back don't it qets them mad

*Usinq someone else to make them jealous

*Actinq like you don't care

In my opinion, that's not playing hard to get. That's a person that straight up doesn't like you and/or doesn't respect you.

I'm talking about pretending to be unavailable so, the person will see you're such a hot commodity and chase you.

I've never played hard to get but I've had guys try that with me. And I refuse to play their little games because I think iti's so stupid

LOL! Good for you. My Boyfriend tried this crap in the beginning and almost lost me. Next thing you know, he's chasing me because, I was like go screw yourself then. I hate that sh*t. If we like each other then let's go with it. Right?

That's what I think as well. With my ex, in the beginning, he would ask me out on dates then cancel last minute and expect me to be OK with that. But I put a stop to that quickly. I bascially backed off and told him that if he wanted to date me then he knew where to find me, otherwise to go away. He never canceled last minute again :)

This is turning into an episode of the View.

HUH?

Today, we're going to talk about a very important and serious topic, but our conversation is going to be limited to half-truths that emotionally protect us from completely opening up and being vulnerably honest, while also sugar-coating the unfortunate sides of human nature. So in short, while you thought you were going to get interesting information, you're just pretty much wasting your time watching.

Ok? Your prerogative.
