I really don’t encourage playing hard to get. If someone “falls” for you because of the chase, he is “falling” for the temporary elation that comes from a false sense of winning. How do you expect to build a lasting partnership if it stems from the most basic feeling of competitive success, and not from compatibility or genuine interest in each other’s character? On a related note, stop hating “players” when the way you choose to go about social interaction sets up their “on to the next” lifestyle. One must work to find another source of satisfaction of the temporary win subsides, explaining said “player” tendencies. A false foundation inevitably leads to the revealing of compatibility differences. Same goes for men who get frustrated when they get “bored” of the women they date, saying no one can keep their attention… Things could change if you didn’t get caught up in the chase. Admittedly, not partaking in playing hard to get and the chase takes patience, but at least you save yourself from the disappointment of not having lasting satisfaction.
