ever notice that in some people how they may be polite but you see or feel yu are getting the same amount of attention as you or others have given.

has anyone tried the witholding of anything in order to get more of something?

If those examples are pertained to "dating",or "getting to know someone",sounds to me like its there way of saying,"not intrested".

Yep people doing it all the time,and to me its promises of false hope,just come out and say it,be frank.

If asked out and not interested, I will say sorry but no.

But I have been known when messed about by a guy to leave him waiting on an answer, yes I know it's petty, but sometimes it is warranted!

No mine is not done for attention, when I did that it was because I had arrived at the point of 'not in a million years would I date them, once or again!'

Hate to admit it....(because for a change it just makes plain sense..)

but...."If someone asks me out, the answer's either going to be "yes" or "no. But "yes" doesn't mean I'm able to drop everything I'm doing right then and there, necessarily."...
