Do you think that playing hard to get is exaggerated? Usually when you ask people how to get someone's attention,they tell you play hard to get. Do you play hard to get or are you hard to get? Do you like people acting like this or do you think that it is confusing?
Write your thoughts on it.

I thinks is a bad idea to play hard to get with guys cause we usually dont understant this game and this works in a way girls dont want.
I think girls play hard to get, far more than guys, which is contradictory cause i think playing hard to get on girls causes more effect. Now is typical to say that when girls say no, means yes. which causes missunderstandings that sometimes end in sexual harrasment and rape. (whe the guy has psychological problems).
But u think that the problem is not that girls dont say what they think, its just that they dont know for sure. We guys, know, thats why you see needy guys all around. only a few know how to play hard to get (some guys do it unintentionally, just because the are to shy)

Well at times it is exaggerated cuz while some women do it because they are simply going by what they hear from others, they play too hard to get, and then the guy loses interest when he can't at least catch her sometime. I think at times its cool to play hard to get, cuz why would want someone always being so clingy and up under you like that all the time. I don't play hard to get, its just I have certain limitations on my life at the moment. I'm in the middle on being hard to get, cuz I talk to everyone and friendly with all. So I wouldn't see the need to really tease the guy by not always being available. I'm too laidback for all that. As for me liking when ppl play that game with me, I sometimes think its ok, but not always. Really depends on my mood.

The word for someone who pursues someone who says they don't want to be pursued is a 'stalker'. Or worse.
I know a lot of people who respond to the 'hard-to-get' routine by just looking for someone else who at least acts like they're interested in return.
There's nothing wrong with having standards or drawing lines. Those are respectable. The problem with this is it's a GAME... as in the key word 'playing'. You aren't BEING hard to get, you're just pretending, lying, tricking, and otherwise adopting many qualities that men find undesirable in women.
If you try to attract someone by running away, what are you going to attract? Someone who likes conquests. And when he gets his conquest, then what well he do? Go look for another one. And you're back to square one. Unless the game was all you wanted in the first place.

The forbidden fruit is always the sweetest. A girl playing hard to get is much more of a challenge to a guy, and usually more desirable. I'm a guy, and I can understand the way this works, but my sweetie and I hit it off almost immediately, so it really depends on the couple.

I don't think it's exaggerated. If a guy likes you enough to pursue you and it takes a long time, then it really shouldn't matter. Playing hard to get makes someone want you more, trust me that's how I got my bf.

Playing hard to get, just simply means, that not just "anyone" can have you, or not just "anyone" can get your attention.
That you have standards and some qualities, in mind.
And that if anyone wants to get your attention, their going to have to work at it.
You don't come cheap, and you don't come easy.
Doesn't mean that your "hard" to get, the whole key word in that statement is "playing" - so its good to know that a man, can see through that, and go after the prize. You.

I think it is. If you play hard to get they might not even know you exist. Now if they are interested in you and you are playing hard to get, you must remember what if you are playing to hard. They might just give up and leave. You loose some one you like because you wanted to play hard. Its not a bad thing to let him know that you like him. Just watch your self don't give up your virginity to easily and don't let him control you. Make sure you like him enough before you give him any thing. If he presures you just leave him because all he wants is sex or some one to control. Thats my answer bye.

I think it's not about playing hard, but about being at your best and not relax too much because you have to be really attractive in this love competition

Playing hard-to-get only works if the guy will be stupid enough to chase you around.
I don't play that crap
Women love to play those manipulative mind games
