Make Sure They Are Worth It

It is important to first make sure the individual that is showing an interest in you is worth it. The object here is to go with someone you will like and not someone you are just going to let down. I know that this can be hard at times, but make sure you first at least have an interest in them, then play a game of hard to get. Sure, leading someone on that you are interested in could be fun, but you don’t want to lead someone on if you are not interested in them.

Phone Number

The first time the individual asks for your phone number, don’t give it to them. Make them ask for that phone number at least two or three times before you finally give it to them. When they do call, you will decide when you want to answer the phone and when you want to return their calls. Remember, it wouldn’t be a game of hard to get if you gave your phone number up right away.

5

Keep a Balance

Of course, you should keep a little ray of hope in there for the individual you are playing hard to get with. If you go to far with this game, the individual may view you as impossible and move on to someone else. So, remember to keep that balance and don’t take it too far.

Date Night

When they offer a date night, tell them you are busy that night. When they give it a second try, tell them that you will be busy during that time as well. When they come to you with a third night in mind, you may take it.

3

Be Accessible

Yes, you should be accessible during this “game,” but you should still be “out of reach” if you know what I mean.

Give Them What They Want

Sure, you should give them what they want, just don’t do it in a way that they would expect it. This way, you will keep them interested in you.

Call Them when They’re Not Home

You should call them when you know they will not be at home and leave a message. Then, when the return the call, don’t answer the phone right away. Instead, wait a couple of hours, then call them.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Firstly, you admitted that you don't play hard to get. So why are you giving advice? You obviously don't know what you're talking about because these are horrible advices. Playing hard to get isn't the same as being a prick. It takes skill to keep a guy interested and lingering for more.

well i dont really know where to comment because he may be playing hard to get, or just may not like me?, hes 20, and im 15, theres a bit of an age gap, bt we get on really well ( wel i think so), and so does his cousin, he said we suit and he thinks im fit, but his cousin said 'i think he likes her but doesnt wanna get with her cause people will think hes a pedo', but its just i really like him and he only lives next door to me (how convenint) ;), we always go out nearly every weekend to shisha, i dont know if youve heard of it, and come back late at around 2 in the morning, he never walks me to my door, i dunno whether its cause i only live round the corner or summat... anyway weve known eachother since i was young, kinda like a child hood love thing... but we lost touch and didnt really speak much, now were starting to speak more and i really dont know what to do, i know its a really long comments, but just want advice!!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxxxxxx

This is what I've always wondered and a guys perspective would help.. If women have separate lives and are not constantly giving men attention doesn't that make us some what more desirable ? It shows that we can stand our own ground and be independent right? It's not all games if that's what guys are thinking. I think it's a strengthening of any women's spirit. It's about being able to Be okay with yourself before you're able to be with someone and if a man see that that should be the most desirable thing.

Guys never grow up

I don't think these are good tips :/ I mean I'm sure if you keep rejecting a guy over and over again, they will move on :/

so do you think its bad that theres such an age gap? :/ xx

Aweful advice.

Wow..... this post is manipulative in itself...In reality all that you listed as tips would only turn a real man off. I could see how this would work in high school.... Think about it men (not boys) have something called lives, usually were doing something or trying to attain goal bigger than ourselves soo if you don't give us your number then thats it we'll move on to the next women. Understand who you are addressing in the post is it girls and boys or is it men and women?
