As far as I'm concerned, all of the game-playing and the "chase" should have ended by high school graduation, at the latest. Acting uninterested when you actually are is dishonest and is generally an indicator of insecurity, a fear of putting yourself out there.

If I like a guy, I let him know, and I expect the same from him. It doesn't mean I have to phone and text him constantly, even if I want to. There's a big difference between being needy and clingy and being interested.

Dating would be a lot less complicated if people could just be honest with each other. I won't hold my breath, though!

A woman playing hard to get? Nah, doesn't bother me. They can go love themselves all the want.

Hard to get means they are not interested, and it's turning into a game.

No sense dealing with it, better to move on and find someone not into these games.

no one likes to be smothered....men like to know that you have a life and that you arent so needy and clingy...why would u need to call a man 10 times a day? leave your phone conversations short and to the point...you dont always have to make yourself available...men will chase you more and appreciate the fact that you dont need him to be happy. when youre overly aggressive it comes across as being a bother and a nuisance and desperate but if you give him time to call you, and to chase you then you will know that he wants to talk to you......always remember that men do like a challenge sometimes....dont make it so easy for them...give them time to miss you...
This advice is mostly if not all incorrect.
1. Big difference between a woman acting aloof, properly communicative, and smothering. A woman who doesn't understand what "properly communicative" entails, or voluntarily subscribes to the aloof or smothering behavior, is not going to inspire me to want to know her better.

True. Obvious to most, but it doesn't hurt to remind ourselves of the obvious.

men will chase you more and appreciate the fact that you dont need him to be happy.
Disagree just with the use of the word "chase". These qualities are appreciated in a woman, but those characteristics alone will not make me "chase" anyone.

but if you give him time to call you, and to chase you then you will know that he wants to talk to you
I'll call when I have something pertinent to discuss. Not because I'm being manipulated into "chasing" you. If I sense a woman wants to talk to me but isn't calling me, I'll be more likely to believe she's into the manipulative "chase" mentality--very non-plussing.

always remember that men do like a challenge sometimes....dont make it so easy for them
Sounds very melodramatic. I've got enough real drama in my life, don't need fake artificial drama.

give them time to miss you
Very cliche. Better way to approach this is to be mature and understand that two different people are very likely to have some different interests and talents. Best way to look at this is to give your partner time for them to enjoy their favorite activities that you do not enjoy, and hope that they do the same for you.

Women who play hard to get make me very frustrated.
