Well, my friend is going to give this cute kid my number and I really want him to like me when he texts me but I don't want to act like a dork. So, I came up with the conclusion I am going to try and play hard to get. My best friend is a guy and he said that kinda thing about a girl really turns the guy on, makes them work for what they want. So, when he texts me and asks if it's me or just says hi, I need to act surprised that he's contacting me. If I know he's gonna text me and I portray that in my texting, he's gonna think I'm desperate. I just don't know how to play hard to get without coming off as a jerk. So, when he texts me hey, I'll say hey and who is this (because I'm not supposed to know it's him ;))then I would assume he'll bring up something about me liking him and I'll say "woah, getting ahead of yourself there, buddy, I just said you were cute, that's all". Please help me in trying to be more hard to gettish, I want him to show me that he wants me (if he does) and that he is willing to work for me. If he even texts me to begin with, I'll be happy haha. Thanks! (link)
I think you should just be yourself too.

If you want to play a little hard to get, just let him take the lead. Let him text you first. Let him call. Dont all of a sudden send him a flurry of texts or calls just because he sent you one once. If he sends you one, send him one back. And then wait to see if he sends another. Also, if he is texting back and forth with you for a while, you can always say, "Oh sorry, gtg for now, I have _____ to do. It was really nice talking to you." End the conversation first, but politely, before it drags on too long. Let him know you like him, but that you have life too. And never ever break plans with your other friends to do something with him. Tell him you already have plans, and let him know when you are available. If he really wants to see you, you can find a time that doesnt involve one of you being rude to your current friends.

Hard to get doesnt mean being rude when they talk to you, it just means dont YOU chase THEM. Let them come to you, and if they do, be your normal sweet self. But after they do, dont pursue them or bother them to death. Let them continue to take the initiative. If they dont continue to call or text, just let it drop and realize they werent that interested.

What makes some people look desperate is that they get a small indication someone likes them, and then they stick to that person like glue, or they call and text incessantly. Or they are 100% available to that person at the drop of a dime. Just dont do that, and you will be fine.
