Why do girls play the ignoring game with guys they like?

I ment to mention this girl is really confident

I'm not afraid to admit that anymore I ignore guys that I like-but not every girl out there does. I have my reasons-others that behave this way may have other reasons. One of the largest reasons why I ignore a guy that I like is because I've had it pretty rough with them. People that have found out that I liked them in the past have treated me like a cockroach before. So it hurts and I don't want them knowing entirely because I don't want mistreated again. It also has to deal with the fact that half the time I'm not certain as to whether the guy in question is already in a relationship or not-or if that girl they hang out with that glares at me is just a bff. It's complicated. Again every girl's different but those are my reasons.

If I like him and he know that I like him and he does something to piss me off of course Im going to ignore him and he would notice it and play the game back towards me but finally I would go up to him and smile or say hi and he would do the same thing because I could never stay mad at him and he has never been mad at me, he just treats people the way they treat him.

I personally start ignoring a guy when I loose trust in him for any reason or lack of communication before trust is fully earned.

It's possible they're playing hard to get but another possibility is that she's keeping you on her hook and she's not really interested in you. She knows you dig her so if she hits a rut in her dating life she'll let you in to talk to her purely to stroke her ego without allowing anything to become of it

I'm pretty confident and bold, but when I meet a guy I like, my brain goes blank. Like, seriously cannot form coherent sentences, and sometimes end up saying the same thing to him the first 5 times I see him. I have seriously had to think of a script for myself just so I could freaking finally actually talk to the guy.

i do it because i get scared that i'll do or say something stupid and sometimes i kind of hope i'll stop liking them if i ignore them

Shyness / Fear of Rejection / Fear of vulnerability - some girls look confident but they aren't necessarily so.

Most girls do it because they're playing"hard to get". I don't do that. It makes no sense.

Sometimes I test to see how much he wants me. To gauge his interest I guess? Like I need to know he has some type of reaction so I know he cares somewhat

Just because she is confident doesn't mean she can't be shy around guys she likes.

Trying to play the stupid "game".

Usually because they are shy.
