I don't think thats hard to get at all. It just seems irritating. Why be fake and have a goal of being a crappy person in your false personality? How is he even suppose to get to know the real you if you act like this anyway? I think this kinda attitude is more likely to get you used for a one night stand than anything else. Hot or not.


Why don't you try:
1. smile softly instead of the look away
2. txt back and never ignore - thats just lame to ignore someone
3. how about showing up. No one wants a flake.
4.men love it when women are interested in what they do. Your take is a turn off
5.brings friends unannounced is kinda rude
6.talk about points of interest instead of people. You way makes you seem kinda skanky boy crazy and like compensation for something

One, I don't like games. I see them as immature and for the shallow. If you are willing to try and manipulate a situation or person right from the start, more than likely you'll resort to other games in a relationship and further down the road.

Secondly, I tend to misread hard to get as "not interested" and I'm not one to waste my time. So I immediately move on. For every girl I'm attracted too, or like, I need wait only a few minutes for one that is equal or better on the surface to walk by. Surface, because I don't know you as a person. And as far as beauty on the inside, I wouldn't know, you're too busy playing hard to get for me to see.

Playing hard to get sends the message that you are not straight forward or honest. Because, to play hard to get, you have to lie. You have to manipulate situations. Negative personality traits. Negative actions. Why do I want to be involved with someone who right off the bat is doing these things? Ultimately, why waste time chasing someone that more than likely, based on the law of averages, isn't going to be worth your time. Lets face it, more relationships fail than succeed. There are far more duds in the world than winners. That goes for both genders.

Everything on that list is childish, shallow and immature. Any guy willing to put up with you long enough to allow you to do half those has no self esteem, and would probably be a perfect match for you.

You are never going to score yourself a real man if you play games like this! Seriously, even my 11 and 12yr old boys won't put up with this crap!

I like Opsi's list much better! You could learn a thing or two there.

You want to find out how far they will go for you, why??? You want them to jump through hoops for what??? I'm sorry, I don't know any man that would want to be treated like crap just to get a girl.

I think you serioulsy need to take some time to mature, then try the dating scene again.

Thank you

Nah....we live in a fast-food-pleasure society. Here today, gone later today....busy busy busy....heck, even some DMV's are getting streamlined. And who ever thought that was possible? No, for our money, we are going to give you your 15 seconds of self-appointed fame and that's about it.....then, we are off to your friends if for no other reason than to see YOUR face when you see OUR faces appear on Facebook. Complete with pressed smiles and poses only a teeny bopping college kid could love......

Nope. Just can't do it anymore....better to have loved and lost....your friends, than to put up with the spin on your head routine....anymore....

But hey, that's just me. You know, if I had to give an opinion....juuuuuust spit-balling here.....listen Illiana, better to get off the dime and nab Javier before he's off with Raquel, your soon-to-be-ex-best-friend-forever!!!

Egads.....:smac k:
I wish I could understand what you are trying to say
