Do men play hard to get?

[Monalisa77]

Esp if they think the woman has? Can ignoring someone mean they know the girl wants attention?

[molonski2]

Yes , its an obvious strategy , never be over keen , always put something between yourself and the prize , have done this plenty of times , still do.

[DarkWinterNights]

Guys will withhold attention and interest from a woman they might be testing. But most normal guys aren’t going to play games.

[Monalisa77]

It felt like he was testing me in a way

[LeeVan]

No we don't. We HATE when girls do that. Just say you like us so we can move on in the relationship.
If you think a guy is playing hard to get it means he's dropped you entirely and only responds to be nice.

[Monalisa77]

He hasn't responded at all which doesn't make sense cos he was the 1 who started flirting etc

[spartan55]

@Monalisa77
It DOES NOT MATTER that he started flirting first. He can still lose interest.

[Monalisa77]

Then he should say

[Monalisa77]

It had been 1 month after he stroked my hand when i saw him again, which is why i was confused why he wouldn't b interested later if he liked me then

[Monalisa77]

Unless he found out something about me that he didn't like or thought about y behaviour more there's no reason why to go off some1 just cos u haven't seen them. Unless there's some1 else he's interested in

[spartan55]

Could have been one of those things, or something else. You will likely never know, that's why you shouldn't dwell on it like you are.

[DryGermanGuy]

No. What's the point? It's dumb enough when women do it.

[Monalisa77]

Because the woman didn't respond to his flirting, then eventually reaches out

[spartan55]

Never. This another myth that girls tell themselves when a guy isn't interested.

[Monalisa77]

Its strange behaviour whennthey showed they were thoguh, that there must be sone explanation for ignoring

[Monalisa77]

And even more strange when ur not interested in them untill they show u they are, then ghost for no reason.

[spartan55]

Yeah, they are not interested any more. It's quite simple.

[Monalisa77]

Had no reason to go off other thsn not seeong for ages and that wasn't out of choice. They could at least reply back and say im no longer interested but thanks for the message

[Monalisa77]

Otherwise that is what i might think when /if i see them again, which is v likely. Its leaving it open for hostial atmosphere

[Monalisa77]

Hostile

[spartan55]

Playing hard to get is a stupid game that most guys would never play.

[spartan55]

Didn't I discuss this guy with you already?

[Monalisa77]

Depends what theyre like in person tho?

[Monalisa77]

I talked with my mum about it briefly n i think she was just as confused why he didn't reply

[spartan55]

I thought she said that here was no way he would ever be interested in you?

[Monalisa77]

I explained to her and that my cousins thought he might have been and what hed been doing was diff than any other guy

[Monalisa77]

But my message was very standard, i never gave him sny sign i liked him irl. We play carss together and get along, its just stranfe ehy he wouldn't even send a standard reply

[Monalisa77]

*cards

[spartan55]

Because he's not interested. It's not strange at all.

[Monalisa77]

But it was a standard message? I didn't make out i was interested

[spartan55]

Doesn't matter.

[Monalisa77]

So u wouldn't reply to a message of someone who sent u a basic message just cos u wasn't interested in her?

[spartan55]

Nope

[Monalisa77]

Strange behaviour and rather rude

[Monalisa77]

I think its common curtsey if someone went to the bother to reach out to u when u hadn't been around to reply

[spartan55]

Okay. You need to give it up on this guy. It ain't happenin.

[Monalisa77]

If u sent one message, then i sent another and he hadn't replied i wouldve been ok, well he's defo not interested and at least he replied

[Monalisa77]

Noone invites me out anywhere to meet anyone. I can't just get someone out of my mind like that

[spartan55]

Okay

[Monalisa77]

And what if i see him again? Am i supposed to b ok with him not replying?

[spartan55]

That's up to you.

[Archferret]

are you married?

[spartan55]

@archferret
Was that question directed at me?

[Anonymous]

I’d say yes some do. The men who have all the options of whatever squirrel they want may play games. The men who don’t have many options probably won’t.

[ThrillSeeker01]

If they think a woman is playing hard to get they might think that's exciting and give it a try too.

[glennos89]

Yes that could be a reason

[clampfan101]

Some do, some don’t.

[Anonymous]

Nope.

[Anonymous]

Men don't do this
