Question - (19 February 2008) 6 Answers - (Newest, 19 February 2008)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am just curious...but how far will a girl play hard to get before she finally decides...Okay, I tortured him enough? I know someone who really likes this girl and he obviously makes it known to her. By the way she looks and flirts with him, I am beginning to believe that she likes him too. But it is beyond me why she continues to play hard to get. Could it be insecurity or maybe a broken heart that prevents her from entering a relationship? I know the general frame of mind is not to appear too "easy", but this is ridiculous. Just wondering.

I think she probably just doesn't like your friend. A woman only plays games if she likes you. And women who play games usually play the real silly predictable games which you can see right through, making it much easier for the guy to figure her out. So it doesn't sound like she is playing games. Maybe she has a boyfriend but she likes the attention.

Look if she genuinely liked him back, it would not be this difficult. That's the truth. Why don't you just accept the possibility that although she is nice and flirty, maybe she is just not interested.

Hannah5066 agony auntAs much as i don't want to admit it, I play games all the time. It's not something that i do because i enjoy it, I do it because I know that I'll get hurt. I wish i could meet a person who is honest and upfront with me!!! (but that has never happened to me!)

I really think that playing games isn't healthy because it makes both parties very wary of each other.

Having said that i think that the best way to avoid getting trapped in the game playing cycle, is to be as open and honest; if they respond and open up emotionally great and if not, then they're not worth the time of day.

hope this helps??

You're Right Laura1318...I had never taken it from that perspective. Considering what girls go thru...I don't think I want to be one in my next life...and for the record I do NOT think it is ridiculous for a woman to play hard to get. I have learned something today. Thank You

Laura1318 agony auntIt is not easy being a woman. She is a complex being and there are a lot of emotional issues she has to deal with unlike men.

Many men would be interested in her and she has to decide which are the genuine ones and weed out those false ones.

Nature has equipped her with defenses to do this job well.

If you are genuine, you would go for her come rain or shine.She is looking for the best to be the father of her children.

If she falls for everyone that woos her then she will open herself to an avalanche of heartbreaks because some guys just wanted sex and lust after her under the guise of love.

I hope , in your next life, you will be born a woman and then it wont be that ridiculous as you think now.

Either 2 things: she is either just being nice and really doesn't like your friend or he just has to flat out ask her.
