How to Play Hard to Get

It’s often said that dating is a game and men and women are the players. The fun of the game is the challenge of winning. To play hard to get is an age-old flirting tactic that we have all been known to use once or twice. Men who play hard to get seem more attractive to women. Women are taught to play hard to give men a fight.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Make sure the person you are about to flirt with is a potential mate and worth your time. The object is to get involved with the person, not make them think you are interested and then ditch them.

2. Give out your phone number, but only after being asked two or three times. Reply with an “I don’t know” or “How do I know you’ll even call?” When the person calls, decide when you want to answer and when you want to return their call.

3. Act disinterested, even if you are writhing with anticipation on the inside. You want to come off as a challenge, not an easy target.

4. Leave a little bit of time between conversations or meetings.

5. Call them when you know they won’t be at home. Leave a message stating that you are disappointed you missed them. This will show you are interested, but still make them long to speak with you.

6. Deliberately hold the person at bay. Do not come off as too willing or too needy, this will completely shatter your image of trying to be more alluring.

7. Keep a little window of hope for the person you are trying to play hard to get with. Do not take this game too far. You need to remember to keep the perfect balance of hot and cold. Otherwise, your target may consider you impossible and give up.

Tips & Warnings

• The rules for returning phone calls applies to emails and texting as well.
• Have fun. Remember, playing hard to get is just a flirting tactic, not a final exam.
• Avoid looking desperate, to play hard to get you need to hold a certain mystery about yourself.

on 10/14/2007 I was once a nice sweet guy, great sense of humor, a tad weird, and a self proclaimed romantic, I am 38 now, never had a true relationship, only had one woman in my life I ever truly loved.
I lived in Massachusetts all my life. And over the years in my search for the love of my life, I have found that from the time of birth. Women have been told that men are pigs, scum, and jerks.ect. On the other hand…women are supposed to be the sweetest things, sensitive and caring, affectionate creatures.
I tried many tactics to entice a woman’s attention, from personal ads, dating services, bars, dance clubs, book stores, supermarkets, you name it, I been there. Even the train, on the street. One thing has never changed, the wealth on SNOBBY women!
No matter where I been, the plan was simple…SMILE! And say “hello.” In almost EVERY ENCOUNTER the result was…she ether (1) she completely ignored me
