6 Reasons Why Playing Hard To Get With A Guy Is Pointless

I’ll be honest; sometimes playing hard to get with a guy can work. However, it won’t make anything last. You might initially snag a guy by playing hard to get, but women often take it too far and end up losing their hook and bait along with the guy.

That’s why playing hard to get with a guy is sometimes pointless. And if you go for a guy who really doesn’t play games, you’re worse off than you realize. You have to start respecting a man’s time and show him you like him if that’s how you feel.

# He might hate mind games

Some guys like the game aspect of dating and getting to know someone. Others, however, hate it. You can’t possibly know which he is going into it and if you really like him, it’s just not worth the risk.

# He could misinterpret it

This is especially true if you don’t know how to play hard to get in a way that actually makes a guy more interested. In this case, you could be doing a bad job of it.

And instead of him being interested in you, you’re showing him that you don’t like him. Some guys get the hint and take off without trying to win you over. That means you’ll turn him away instead of bringing him in closer.

# He only likes the chase

Some guys have a problem when it comes to chasing women. And that problem is that they ONLY like the chase. Once they get a girl, they don’t have any interest in her.

If you run into one of these guys and play hard to get, you might hook him. But if he’s this type, he’ll end up leaving once he has you. So what’s the point?

# You’ll seem immature

This is probably the biggest reason playing had to get with a guy is more harmful than it is helpful. He might look at your playing hard to get as a really immature way to get someone to like you.

And that’s because it is. If you’re serious about finding a guy and having a good relationship with him, playing hard to get is such a childish way to go about it. Be mature and just get to know him.

# He’ll have a hard time knowing how you really feel

It all has to do with you playing a game. Because that’s what it is. He can’t tell how you really feel if you’re dodging him or not responding to his texts in an appropriate timeframe. He’ll be clueless and that can hurt your chances of getting him.

# You’re setting your expectations very low

This all has to do with the fact that you’re playing a game. And if he knows what you’re doing, he must think you don’t care too much and therefore, he won’t either.

He might even play along with you and then not treat you well because that’s how he sees you treating him. It sets your expectations low and leaves more room for a guy to mistreat you.
