[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A guy accused me of doing this today. I was not, in fact, intending to play hard to get. I had turned him down several times with statements such as "no thanks" and "I'm not interested" and "it's not going to happen." I do not want to date/hook up with this guy and I have told him so. And yet somehow he interprets this as playing hard to get. [b]He is by no means the first dude I've encountered who behaved this way. It baffles me.[/b]

Question 1: Do you ever play hard to get? If so, what is your strategy? Does it include saying things like "no thanks" when you would actually like to date the person? And if so, why do you do this?

Question 2: Do you ever assume people are playing hard to get when they turn you down? If so, what makes you think they're doing that as opposed to turning you down for real? Does continuing to pursue someone who says no ever actually pay off?[/quote]

the truth stares at you in the mirror.  you're being disingenuous at best if you think you are not the problem (you are the common factor in all of your encounters)[/quote]
