To the ladies in the house, There was this guy you really admired, even though you had not spoken to him, you saw him as someone whom you would like to have as a boyfriend or a husband, you have been having sleepless nights over him waiting for him to ask you out, God answers your prayer, he starts making advances at you, but  following the normal feminine status quo you played hard to get, you continued this habit for 2 months but the guy persisted. but just when you decided that you wanted to call it quit to this cat and mouse game and give the guy a break, the guy stops calling, stops talking to you and totally ignores you, what do you do

Don't tell him anything. .at least not verbally(the chances of makin a big fool of urself is really high dt way.Words have a way of just not comin out right).
Do somethn instead e.g.buy him somn really nice(doesn't have to be expensive but shdn't make u look like a cheapskate).
Send it to him thru a mutual acquaintance of yours(esp one who is down with both of u hittin it off).
If he's still interested,the next knock on ur door will be his.
If he's not;too bad,move on with ur life.
80% of the time he's actually still interested;just suffering from emotional fatigue(chasing hard-to-get babe no be joke o grin) and or bruised ego.

If a hard-to-get babe all of a sudden starts showing interest in a guy that had spent time (and most likely money) trying to win her over, such guy may assume that:

(i) she has been dumped by a guy she was initially dating

(ii) compared another guy and new guy and decided new guy is better

(iii) just discovered something about the guy that she finds attractive

Any way you look at it, such a guy may want to get his pound of flesh, that is if he does not have outright hatred for the girl. Yet my advice to such a lady is to place herself in the reach of the guy once again, that should not be difficult for a girl that is about town

first of all i have to be honest and say i can't be very objective in replying this cuz i'd never do this. but still, the woman should try to get in touch with him if the guy is worth it. i mean, it def was her fault! i even admire the guy's endurance to keep on trying for so long,

There was this guy in my school that I really liked, he was my senior and he was also a new student, I liked him d instant I heard his voice, we were in the school band together although I never talked to him. He played the bass guitar and I sing.

Well I was coming from an after shool tutorial when I saw him walking down the street, I felt courtesy demands dat
I just say hi to him which I did, and he smiled back! I thought to myself (dats a step) lol
the next day in school, i was sitting next to the window and someone pulled my hair from outside, i turned to see it was him, it was as if I won a jackpot, my friends were like Gurl u are too good, u already got the new student's attention.

The next band meeting, he talked to me for the first time and since then, I liked him more than a friend but I didnt make it seem that way, we were friends for a while and we had alot in common, after a while I stopped talking to him as often, well it was part of my plan to get him to be mine. I was always avoiding him, even at band practise, I made him chase after me, i was playing hard to get,

He finally got my full attention and he threw it on me, immediately I said NO and I walked away, from his reaction, I noticed he was shocked, he said he thought I liked him, I said yes but not like that, he kept coming back and I was rejecting him, he tried and tried and when i wanted to give him a chance he got tired

to answer ur question, if he gets tired, I will always remember he once chased after me, i'll make him do it again, believe me I can do that. That's what I did to this guy and in no time he came back wanting for me. I dont know if it actually works fro people, but it works for me!

I mean, if he's the right person, he'll always come back, he'll be around, but if he's juat an ass, the first rejection will just chase him away.

~As much as your scenario is hypothetical in the post,I personally don't see the point of playin hard to get in this suitation at al!!Its SoOoo not relevant!!!

~I  know i really like him,he's asked me out. . . .why would i want to waste time playin hard to get when i should be tryin to get to know how compatible i am w/the bloke?? In this particular instance,it will be totally immature to play hard to get!!!!


~I've posted my opinions on what i think about the "Playin hard to get game" by chicks on a similar post,"Topic: Playing Hard To Get: Is It Really Necessary?"  will find the link  to copy & post later!!!

What you're saying doesn't make any sense.

How can a lady have sleepless night over a guy she's dying to meet?
Then when he finally makes his moves, she begins to play hard-to-get and to make marrers worse, for two months.

Go and re-phrase your statement.

Even when a guy has a crush on a girl, there is a limit of bullshit he is willin to take from her and believe me, he will not always be there waitin for ya.At a point in time he will surely give up.

As for me, I don't think I'm willin to chase a girl for 2 months.Even if I do, and she turns me down,she would be history even if she starts showing interest later on.
