Sure it does. Guys lose interest when the girl makes herself too available. They think it took too little effort to bother with. Women who make it clear that they have other things to do are more of a challenge. If they can win her over, it's a huge boost to the ego.

It works on me when a guy plays a little hard to get in the beginning, but still shows some interest. If they carry it on too much and for too long, it has totally the opposite effect and I go right off them.
I play hard to get all the time though, I think it's natural as women are instinctively more fussy over their potential mate. Some guys love it and some guys don't respond to it (i.e certain guys if they don't know you like them, won't show any interest/ask you out), but I'd rather have that than be available and treated badly for it. Hard to get, but easy to be with is the key!

Not so much. I mean yes for the first few encounters, but after that, if you REALLY DO want a relationship with that person, than NO. Because it causes mixed signals and eventually they will just assume you are not feeling them as much as they are feeling you and that you are not ready for a relationship and play to many games so they will move on from you.

It is not the playing hard to get that works. It is mystery, it is stimulating a womans desire to have what she can not have.
It is important to remember that this is only a 'hook' tactic. Like fishing if the line stays slack for too long the fish will get away!
Don't forget to yank it tight when she has eyes for you.

Sometimes.
'Treat them mean and keep them keen' works on me along with playing hard to get but after a while I do get bored.
I've also played hard to get and as long as you know when to give in then it's fine. You dont want to drag it on so long that they decide to give up on you

In my experience it has both worked and failed. My experience has taught me to just be honest with your friend let them know how you feel. This saves time and heart break. Life is too short to mess around. Either you like the person or you don't which one is it? Good Luck George

It all depends however if you suffer from Ed Zacarys disease, it would be best not practiced ...... I remember a rather difficult situation an old friend of mine's sister once had, poor girl. Apparently she had not even been on a date for around nine years let alone had sex or got laid, so she was talking to one of her girlfriends who told her of a promblem she had with her husband three years before. Apparently they had not been sleeping together as they once did so in some desperation the two of them had gone to a Chinese herbalist doctor, they had eight sessions with him and to this day they had never been to happy together. So, after asking her friend if she would go to any lengths to find change she offered her friend the telephone number. Three days later my friend's sister made the call and made an appointment to see the doctor, very nervous she atteneded at the time offered. She went in and was offered a chair and he began taking her history and asking what her concerns were and why she had come to see him, after telling the doctor of her worries and complaint he asked her if she would go to any lengths in order to find change to which she said she was desperate for change. He then asked her to disrobe to take everything off and to get on her hands and knees and to then crawl across the room, mortified she complied with his directions, once having crossed the room with him making tutting noises she looked over her shoulder to which he motioned her to make the return journey, crawling all the way back to him, all the way seeing him shake his head and continuing his tutting. She then asked him what was wrong, why was he shaking his head and tutting, to which he said that what she had was a serious case ..... one of the worse cases he had seen, she was in semi shock and asked him what he meant and was there any way to remedy what he thought she had. She then asked what it was he thought she had to which he said Ed Zacary's disease, one of the worst cases of Ed Zacary's disease he had ever seen, blown away she said what is Ed Zacary's disease, I've never ever even heard of it, so he explained, it is when your butt looks Ed Zacary like your face.

It doesn't work on me. When a woman acts like she's not interested in me, I believe her. I figure, why should I waste my time with someone who isn't interested? So I move on to someone who might be.

I don't think playing games works at all. What's the point? Just be yourself and if they like you for who you are then all the better.
