The Chase

Post Reply New Topic

Since it's not common for a guy to play hard-to-get, I was wondering, is there a likelihood that this is possible? Has anyone met a guy who appears aloof, only to be interested in the long run? I know it's a common role for women, but is it for guys? Also, how do you crack through his behavior if you're sure he's being tricky and make something happen?

Guys don't usually play hard to get (in my experience). If he seems distant, it's likely he's just not interested.

In the case that he may be just playing games, are you sure that's what you want in a guy (maybe it is, I'm just asking)? You'll pretty much have to do all the emotional running around in the relationship (trust me, it's not fun).

...there is something attractive in the unattainable - this is something I've heard from a good number of my female friends. A certain level of detachment isn't a bad thing, as it helps prevent dependency on one or both sides. But it isn't a sign of any one thing or another, as far as my attempts at 'reading' people. What you describe is a game that I have found hard to play with women; for myself, I tend to prefer women who are direct and emphatic with their emotions.

Anyways, some men do play hard to get or hard to pick up on the clues.

Guilty.

Guys definitely do it too. I've been in a position before where I've given off signs that I'm interested and I know he's playing hard to get. I play it for awhile but if he doesn't come around, then I move on. One time the guy that did it, he panicked because I really did move on and all of a sudden he was constantly calling me and such. It was comical.

When you start playing those sorts of games, you have to have good timing. If it goes on too long, someone could lose interest and then you've missed an opportunity. On the other hand, if it's played well, it can be fun. I've always liked a challenge every once in awhile.

I'm a guy who experience has made to be interested in the long run. Between that and being clueless to social queues I probably come off as aloof and playing hard to get... I've had way too many short relatioships. Too many times that I have gotten with someone only to watch them leave a couple of months later.

i do not even understand how to play hard to get. in fact, in eighth grade the boy crazy girls would ask me "jeff, are you playing hard to get?" i was like what? why would anybody do that - that's so silly.

i think that guys usually play easy to get if anything.

Yeah, I don't play hard to get, I am hard to get! Two weeks later I'll realize someone was giving me the eye.

I'll never know if i'm playing hard to get unless some girl tells me she's trying to get me o.O And that hasn't happenned so far, so much for that huh? ^^; i'm usually pretty oblivious to whatever non-verbal message a girl might be trying to send me though -.- .
