Most guys are impatient and don't have the nerve or stomach to wait 'em out. That said....I'd hope she got what she wanted as well.

I'm still kind of confused as to what this thread is about, since generally if a woman is playing hard to get, then the guy hasn't really gotten what he wanted. And if they've done the deed and she's being evasive, that's probably more "delete my number" than "hard to get."

That isn't "hard to get" ... it's what everyone should be bringing.

That's enough to dump a woman even if you haven't had sex yet.

Agreed. But the OP sometimes means something different that what it seems. Until he clarifies, I am stumped as to what he means.

It sounds like she didn't put out fast enough, so he wants to "punish' her for that?

This is probably why I'm so jaded in terms of dating. So many people try to manipulate and TRY SO HARD to win someone over. It's just unnecessary and shows their lack of understanding on how relationships work.

I see this kind of stuff in everyday life far too often and it's very discouraging. It's easier just to stay out of it.

I'd move on if a woman deliberately played hard to get. Ain't got time for that..

That being said, I don't mind the chase, TO AN EXTENT. If a woman constantly overdoes it, then I'm just going to move on to a woman that doesn't play these childish games.
I honestly think to a lot of women playing hard to get means not showing one bit of receptiveness when a guy is honest about his romantic intention to a woman. That I don't tolerate. If you play hard to get, I'll assume you don't want to be gotten by me and move on.

Yup. If the woman is interested but is playing hard to get, she should do her part and be receptive, respond, flirt, and go on dates.

I've never heard of this, OP. Where did you get this idea?

High value guys definitely won't chase after a woman they already had sex with and is playing games.
