I mean, when both are clearly interested. Why play hard to get?

[MrHopper]

Being "wanted" and sought out is attractive, we all want some one to want us right? And the opposite of being "hard to get" is not attractive. Imagine two girls both the same, one is all over you and constantly talking to you and trying to get your attention, the other you have to work for, so every time you get her attention its like a bolt of excitement.

Because some guys make it obvious but they don’t dare to approach us. In my case, I recently met a guy that I knew and had given me all the signs that he was attracted to me, BUT even after I approached him…he didn’t dare to try to approach me again because he is “shy”…, so after that I had to put my dignity together and play hard to get when he finally woke up and decided to try.

Disagree, some guys really are insecure of themselves and have difficulty approaching girls they find attractive. I think the guy isn't sure if you like him back or not. People can't read signals and may need clear intent. Because at the end of the day he's a man, not a magician.

I found this answer on Quora. Clear, precise and straight to the point. Seriously give this person a medal or something because they are saving lives.

It's up to you to find out which response is applicable to your situation.

One thing is the guy being interested in her, and another is her being interested in him. She may not be "playing hard to get", but ignoring the advances of a guy she does not like.

Playing "Hard to want", when a women plays childish games like that, she's to immature for a relationship or sex anyway IMHO. Best leave her alone.

They aren't interested

The chase is part of the fun.

I guess it's in the nature of things...

Because they want to check your sincerity

Because the girl isn't into you.
