Playing Hard to Get

sometimes for me...if its just cutesy flirty then yeah, but if it's someone i'm really connected with on higher level then no

 

No, I think it's annoying, insensitive and stupid. It gives me the impression that they hate me, and it makes me upset. They should just make their mind up and stop messing around! There.

 

People say I play hard to get when I am being my normal self, so, I guess I do. I don't even realize it. O_O

 

I love when girls play hard to get.. I like a challenge. Haha.

I don't think I play hard to get.

 

I'm a staunch advocate for honesty and forwardness in all things relationship-related, so if someone were interested in me, I'd either immediately show my own interest, or tell them sorry, but it's not going to happen.

 

It's not really me playing hard to get as much as it's the fact that I'm hunched over a textbook for the vast majority of my time these days.



And I actually don't think I could provide an appropriate answer to this question, anyways. I suck at evaluating relationships, so even if I was "playing hard to get" I probably would't realize it.

 

I don't play hard to get, I'm genuinely hard to get. I'm not suitable for those who want quick and easy, it just doesn't happen that way and I'm not sure my personality will ever change enough to be the quick and easy type.

Of course there's nothing wrong with quick and easy, I think it's better than my own personality when it comes to relationships. People do not seem to like long and complicated, and I don't blame them. Trying to get to know me must be awful.

 

This is how I handle crushes:
"I really like you. Just thought you should know"
Not that hard to confess. lol

 

Where's the "I don't flirt at all" option? :lol:

 

I'm the same way. I don't get the whole "playing hard to get" thing. To me, it just makes dating more complicated than necessary and wastes time. Chances are if someone was seriously "playing hard to get" with me, I'd see it as a mind game and move on.

I also don't like that it can send the message that, in dating, no doesn't necessarily mean no. I've turned guys down before and there were a few that were ridiculously persistent because they thought I was playing hard to get

 

I play hard to get even when I don't mean to. It's kinda hard for me just to let go and show I'm interested, so I keep pretending I'm not understanding the other person's advances.

 

I mean, I'm pretty young, but I have a few friends who flirt with me, and i alway play hard to get. I'll reject them and them pull them back for more. Im not mean about it tho.

 

Pretty much this. "Playing hard to get" is pretty much a mind game and, when dealing with a certain kind of person (like me), can really mess with them. Either a) I won't pick up on your potential affection at all or b) experience never-ending anxiety because I'm receiving mixed signals. Since I'm mostly attracted to people who are somewhat like me, I am honest when I'm attracted to someone enough to want a relationship with them (though that has only happened once).

 

I play hard to get most of the time, even with friends (but only sometimes with friends). When I meet someone who catches my interest, I act as if I'm not that interested so I don't let my guard down. I'd rather be pursued. ;D

 

I'm a straightforward person. Don't play mind games with me. It's not cute.
