Do you like playing hard to get when it comes to relationships? It seems to me that a lot of people like this. When what you want is right in front of you, nobody seems to go after it until it starts running away from you. I guess everybody likes a challenge, and this may go for everything, not just relationships, whatcha think?

I have never been the type at playing hard to get. Those kinds of games can easily backfire. You might end up with a situation you didn't want.

How do you know if you've never tried it? I don't think it always backfires unless it's really childish, but sometimes it can help you grow and challenge different situations.

I like girls playing hard to get. I guess it's one of the laws of seduction: anything that's scarce is often sought. It's a total turn off when the girl just throws herself right at me. It just makes the magic disappear.

That's true. Rare things are more interesting.

What you said is true. I think it's what makes things exciting. When you can't get something easily, you want it more. If you got something easily, it's like you're bored already. I think that belief is right. That may be the reason why most girls play hard to get.

I can see the excitement in it too. I think at times it can help us grow and challenge ourselves too.

I myself do not believe in "playing" hard to get. What is to be earned from such behavior besides heartache? I think that some individuals act like they don't care for someone, until someone else has won the heart of their desired..You know, I don't want you until someone else has you? It's all childish, and people that play these games are just wasting time. Life is to short for such antics.

Well, some do not always end up in heartache... some can make people more creative and test themselves to see if they really want this or not. But I do find it childish for those who want people once they are taken.. in those cases they've just lost their chances.

Eh I do a mix of both hard to get and "hey I'm totally interested in you". I think that's the best. Play TOO hard to get and they might give up =P

Greetings :) Being a guy, I would go after someone I like. However, when I realize that after a certain time that what I am doing is useless, I would go after someone else. This philosophy is practical and very much realistic. Playing hard to get is fine, however, people should know when to give in. Girls have a body clock to chase, meaning after a certain age, childbirth is difficult or impossible. So overall, play hard to get if you want but, know your limits because, certain people can only take so much. Have a nice day :)

Not playing hard to get but giving a time (at least a year.) to learn each other before commiting it. I think it's better to say this way.
