I am the second girl and I can't help but feel it is not something we intentionally do. Most of the time deep down we fear rejection. until a guy makes it point blank obvious we will stay the same way.
No thanks. "Hard to get" means she's not genuinely interested in me. I'm not wasting time on those kind of women. Either you think I'm awesome or not. I'm not settling for less.
Great advice! I would emphasize that, to avoid the mind games girls, pay attention not only to what they say and do, but what they do NOT say and do NOT do.
I really need to know if this is true, or have anyone been through this. I'm pursuing this girl and I thought she was playing hard to get and stuffs but now I realize she is perfectly match 'the real' deal.. every single line. She kept distance with me but still show some interests.
okay, so u can already tell that she is interested, which is great. if she's keeping her distance, she could either be scared to open up, she might have trust issues, she might probably not want to take things further YET, or she could be interested, but not on a romantic level, so u have a few options there.
to figure out which of these is going on with u two, just be very upfront. call her. do NOT text. "so hey, i noticed that you've been fairly busy lately. i was just wondering if maybe you wanted a little space or something, or if i'm annoying you somehow? like i'm not upset or anything, i'd just like to know. I do really like you, but if you're not feeling the same, it'd b nice for you to let me know, and i'll understand."
something like that. when you word your concern directly AND kindly, she will feel 'wow, he really cares about me, and he's not being a douche about us', then she'll let u know how she's feeling. 100%.
thanks you. She told me a story about her ex, then she was like "I just can't predict how a person will turn out when everything falls apart." What does it mean then? Does she need more time or is there anything I should do right now?
I understand your point also, I just don't see the point of putting in too much effort to get someone to like you. It's either they do or don't. If they do, then put in all the effort possible, if not, then find someone else. It's a good take, I just don't get it.
I'm a little confused by what you mean as a girl that's hard to get. Do you just mean girls that don't just jump into bed with guys right away but looking for LTR?
pretty much, so girls who seem to be a handful or giving u the cold shoulder, but she really is just someone with standards and needs a bit of effort in order for her to fall for you.
So like a girl that wants to be friends before dating or a girl that just takes things really slow once you start dating? Possibly both? Personally I'm against becoming friends and then eventually dating but I'm fine with taking things slow when I really like the girl. I'd rather not know them all that well when I first ask them out.
These kind of takes make me scared of dating. I'm kind of having an internal struggle now. On one hand, I hate being alone. On the other, I'm happy I don't have to worry about these kind of things...
I'm the same man. But there is a part of me that always tells me that "she didn't do that with alpha, jock boy" so surely I'm not as hot or "have it" that makes her want me.
Yea, to me being hard to get automatically screams out disinterest especially since both are very similar behaviour wise. It's best for me to cut things out and assume that, so I can find another woman who shows more interest.
with all respect, i don't think it should. it's not too late to transform that thinking and open your mind to the fact that she could be someone very special, even if she isn't indicating interest overtly at first. there's a lot we girls don't tell or show u right off the bat, not because we just wanna be all secretive, but because we take time to open up.
if this take ends up persuading one man to change his negative perspective on this issue, id b pretty stoked =]
Yeah I see your point. I do tend to move on rather quickly if a girl doesn't reciprocate interest or seems disinterested. At times, even the slightest thing can make me think a woman isn't interested. In a way, actually, you've sorta knocked some sense into me. I've always had all or nothing or black and white thoughts. Like if a woman doesn't show interest in me the first time we meet or if the conversation doesn't go well then I'll just move on and assume she ain't interested. Pursuing can be good, but I think there's a certain point that I can only endure before moving on.

that's right, it's just a part of who we are.
yup... we're done of love game, if the guy is serious, then make it obvious and clear

lol, bye dude.
then this post has nothing to do with you why did you comment lol
@Vickie__98 This opinion comment has nothing to do with you. Why did you comment?
It does because it's a blemish on a post I am interested in. I'd prefer if you didn't comment something so irrelevant.
Also you directed my question back to me instead of answering which means you have no way to answer correct? lol
Great advice! I would emphasize that, to avoid the mind games girls, pay attention not only to what they say and do, but what they do NOT say and do NOT do.
i totally agree.
I really need to know if this is true, or have anyone been through this. I'm pursuing this girl and I thought she was playing hard to get and stuffs but now I realize she is perfectly match 'the real' deal.. every single line.
She kept distance with me but still show some interests.
but I'm stuck here... asked her out twice but she was busy. Should I stop chasing her?
okay, so u can already tell that she is interested, which is great. if she's keeping her distance, she could either be scared to open up, she might have trust issues, she might probably not want to take things further YET, or she could be interested, but not on a romantic level, so u have a few options there.

I like women who are easy to get... for me.
in my opinion, if a girl likes you, she will make herself available.
sure, i understand that. this take is more for men who like to put in a bit more effort.
I understand your point also, I just don't see the point of putting in too much effort to get someone to like you. It's either they do or don't. If they do, then put in all the effort possible, if not, then find someone else.
It's a good take, I just don't get it.
Eh. Too much hard work. I don't know how people have time for such girls. Maybe they don't have big dreams (aims).
winning over a girl who is hard to get is aiming high... very high- when that is what makes her stand out.
Do you believe, being "hard to get" makes a girl actually "better"?
if she's not being a pain in the ass, 110%.
It's same like "if diamonds are not expensive, they're great" 😅
No idea which one I am... I have some of the traits of the first but also identify with the latter...
that's common too. i guess u gotta figure out which one you WANT to be.
This is 100% accurate. Seriously, you're awesome. You're undeniably one of the best writers in here. :D 👍
oh gosh thank you so much. <3
I'm a little confused by what you mean as a girl that's hard to get. Do you just mean girls that don't just jump into bed with guys right away but looking for LTR?
Hard to get for whatever the guy is looking for...
The second girl would be hard to get for LTR only

Wow #2 would have fully described me except im not always sexy/confident, but good Take!!
haha love, no one is always sexy and confident =] we are human after all :)
thank u! xx
These kind of takes make me scared of dating. I'm kind of having an internal struggle now.
On one hand, I hate being alone.
On the other, I'm happy I don't have to worry about these kind of things...
yeah i guess we all go through that.
I just wish I could sort out which one I like the most...
Whatever the case.
Men and women should be absolutely equal in the eyes of society. We should not be treated like dogs.
and u think that will ever be the case?
Female supremacy has to end.
Men are waking up to their discrimination and oppression... we need EQUALITY not pathetic 2nd class status and gynocentrism.
female supremacy? lol. where have u been the last few centuries?
This is why I'm happy to be single.
I'm a man. I'm not a Ken doll for you to use to jack off your ego.
this is why takes like this are created. to help u understand what kind of woman will see u as a man.
If she plays hard to get, I play "well I guess she's not interested so I'll better move on and find someone who is".
sure, if she's actually playing.
I LOVE this! I am the second sort and I hate the first kind...
glad u liked it! =]
Maybe she just doesn't want anything to do with you!
Hah
yeah i mentioned that somewhere. as i said, it can be hard to decipher.
If I ever met a girl who is genuinely hard to get then I would assume she isn't interested and move on
ever wondered that maybe your assumptions cause you to let opportunities pass by? just food for thought.
I'm the same man. But there is a part of me that always tells me that "she didn't do that with alpha, jock boy" so surely I'm not as hot or "have it" that makes her want me.
