playing hard to get


Question Posted Monday October 30 2006, 2:47 pm

My ex and I have been broken up for a month or so. It was a serious relationship, but we seem to be on a 'friend' level now where we talk/joke around. I love him and would like to get back together to see if things might workout, but everyone is telling me to play hard to get. The advice I get from my friends & family is to act like I don't care and he'll come to me. It has started to work, but I need to know if it will backfire? Does the playing hard to get for a guy or even an ex really work? (18/f)

I guess it's all depends on how serious you are to this relationship?
Hard to get is for player. It's for the game.
If you really want to be with him, talk to him and let him know how you feel. Also let him know if he somehow doesn't feel the same anymore about you, you will still be there for him (Would you?)

You just have to go to get what you want, so you will never regret about "you should've.....".

I dont think playin hard to get is a good idea, in my experience it doesnt work. Stayin cool and not makin it too easy for them is ok but you may push him away altogether if you do the "hard" approach.

Do what makes YOU happy

playing hard to get works to a degree .. just dont make him think that you dont like him or he will turn and run.

If someone tried "playing hard to get" with me, I would tell them to go screw themselves, and I would never look back. Call me crazy, but my feelings are not Tonka Trucks, and my heart does break. =/

Yes, sometimes with guys playing hard to get can work every now and then, but you really have to be careful when doing it, because it may backfire. If you play hard to get for too long, he may start to think you don't care period, and he might give up and try and move on from you, so don't let that happen.

Just do what you've been doing, and then every few days, talk and flirt with him and everything to show signs of interest, and then go back to playing hard to get.

But I suggest after awhile to just let him know that you still love him and would really like to work things out and get back together with him, because hard to get can start to get somewhat "annoying" after awhile, I guess you'd say. Guys can only play games for so long.

I hope I helped.

Yes...playing hard to get definatly works but make sure that he likes you first because if he just likes you as a friend then, all the playing hard to get thing wont work. Good Luck!
