Why is it that some guys like playing hard to get. Is it the thrill they get or what.

I'm still trying to figure this one out.

Any suggestions girls.

hmm.. wave

If i land up figuring out the guy is actually playing hard to get , i would gradually lose interest.

I guess some guys just enjoy the chase for whatever reasons (maybe they think they kind of deserve it dunno )

i think thats generally a fabled female strategy

any guy ive ever thot was playing hard to get
was actually not interested in mesigh

thats the thing about that strategy-
its too precise to operate properly
i think we try
i think they dont
in the end
either ends up realizing or becoming
uninterested...

confused

im a big believer of if you listen people will tell you who they are
i recently got a refresher course-
ignored my intuition, and regretted it

also i feel the effort a guy extends in the beginning is insightful
as to what it might be like later-so too little or too much-
im not interested

if theres no effort in courting me-doesnt seem like itll be much fun later

I could ask the same question about the ladies.. or why is it that some string you along for months giving you a false hope that there might be a possible relationship only to tell you much later that there isn't going to be one?...

Somebody tell me the answer to that because I sure as h*ll don't know..dunno

wait if he is hard to get

apparently i have NO understanding

guys dont wanna be hurtful any more than girls do
by simply saying 'no thank you'

communication is key my mama always said
and listening is a big part of it

True it applies to women too.

False hope .. i dont know what to say .. sometimes people do take time to consider. But then again , if you know its no ways going to happen, easier to politely say no than let the anticipation build and go crashing.sigh

He is not the least bit interested and probably just bored hence the 'playing hard to get'.
I talk to guys a lot!!!!
Brutal but true. Forget him!

not bad bubbles69, but does it function?

Hi Tiffanie,

first you have to find out the real reason, why they are here, on this platform - and it`s anywhere the same game...

...most of the men (not all) here inside are players in a big game:

they...

... think about their chances...

...look for their attractivity on the market, but still are in a relationship...

...think behind the next corner is standing the next one...

...look for the perfect partner...in their mind...




let me tell a story:

a man was looking for the perfect woman and gets older and older...

...when he was old, laying in his bed, a friend came to him and asked:

"Dear Friend, you have looked your whole life for the perfect woman, and now you die alone...you never found her?"

"Oh yes, I found her..."

"...and what happend, why you don´t live together?"

"...she also looked for the perfect partner..."
teddybear


that may be one reason...but there are also a lot of different ....

so what bubbles69 said is a good idea, disapear and you make yourself interresting

hug hug

I know that I backed off from one that was pushing too hard to get me to "admit" I had feelings for him because he was just blindly giving his feelings away for me (supposedly)...where I wasn't going to commit to anything like that until I'd had the chance to meet him. That chance never came because I wouldn't just blindly give in to him and he couldn't understand my reluctance (his first time "supposedly" of ever doing online dating). I keep saying supposedly because I'm not 100% certain that he was genuine.
