They're called games because they're supposed to be fun. They're designed to build sexual tension.
It escapes me totally what could be fun about pretending you're not interested in someone when you are, alternately breaking off and resuming communication, etc., and generally keeping them in a very worried and confused state.
I don't like people who make me feel like that.
Somebody wanting to tell someone how they felt, though, and just having difficulty doing it because they were shy I understand completely.

OKAY, me myself is a moron sitting there ranting on about dinosaurs and politics.

I don't really know the answer to your question. Personally, I think that dinosaurs and politics are kind of cool.

Hm, I always thought it was how people protected themselves from rejection. Not putting all their cards on the table, etc. That way if it doesn't work out at least you didn't make yourself totally emotionally vulnerable all at once.
I'd say it's that plus playing hard to get, as people always want what they can't/don't have.. if it's readily available to them, they lose interest as there's no thrill of the hunt & conquest/victory.
As for politics & dinosaurs, they're not incredibly odd interests or anything - but there's a time and a place for everything, don't bring them up and talk excessively or exclusively about them in social situations where it's simply not appropriate to do so. Sure, keep your interests and talk about them, but to do it to the extent that it's off putting or awkward for whoever you're talking with.. that's not going to help you any.
