Seriously. What's up with that?
Sorry, Nero, I was absent that day in girlschool, so I didn't learn how...

Actually, I think some females, like being pursued.  I appeals to their self confidence.  But you would also think that being honest and upfront with your feelings would also be good.

Like I say, I missed that class.

I didn't think it actually happened. I thought it was just something made up in American Movies where the students are all in their 20's.

Does it actually happen? Can you delay being with someone you actually like?

I don't know. Maybe it never actually happens. Maybe we guys just think it happens when a girl doesn't swoon over us.

You could be right, like seeing stuff that is not actually there because you want it to be true "she looked me in the eye and smiled, she must want me!"   (from the other perspective) "that dude is freaking me out the way he is looking at me. I'll smile just like I do with anyone else when meeting their eye...."

Its like fly fishing.  The more you tease, the more they strike.  The trick is knowing when to set the hook.

And boys love the chase.  :D

If I were single, I would personally hate to look "too available" or "too desperate" to just anyone.  You have to make the guys suffer a little, you know?  >:D ;D If things are meant to be, they will fall into place without anyone trying "way too" hard.  ;)

Because if we were to just give in to you and give ourselves to you, you would not
think we were worth your time the next time. Boys always want things they can't have.
And the more we appear mysterious and exclusive the more you want us.

Women are basically manipulaters (although none of us would admit that... it's the other girls
that do that) and we know our craft well. I don't perceive it as a bad thing and it's not that we mean
to manipulate, it's just the way that we can get what we want without taking it like guys would. And
when done well guys never even realize their being manipulated. :)

It's amazing to me that even living as a guy but having a female brain has allowed me the develop the
skill. And I did not see that trait in myself until someone here pointed it out recently, but all women
do it. And I've always been able to spot it where most men are oblivious to it. And to be honest it is very
effective in the workplace and has served me well. :)

So in my opinion when girls are playing hard to get they are just using their skills and
manipulating guys to get what they want.

Something sleeps deep within us
hidden and growing until we awaken as ourselves.

So, Amanda, you do realize, right, that some things are better left unsaid?  [sardonic :) ]

Which of the girl mods do you prefer to delete your post and bar you for a year from the site?

People who look cool and really carry it off, tend not to work at it at all.

Some guys play hard to get too, its a different game, but for the same outcome.  People want what they can't have, and when dealing in a culture were a limited attention span is as common as dirt or air its good to keep 'em guessing.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
