Playing hard to get?

Playing hard to get?

So I was reading Cosmo earlier this week. There is this section (don’t remember the name) where gals rant and rave about their sexual exploits, how they won their boy back or how they avenged their ex and so on. You get the point.
So reading all this makes me feel like an underachiever. I don’t have boys to avenge upon, win back or rant and rave. I do have plenty of examples of ‘boys are just aren’t there yet’ and ‘boys that are missing the left cerebrum’.
Anyways, to cut the creative juices in short, I read this entry by an 18yr old gal who was so in love with the boy, but boy not serious as her. So what does she do?

She plays hard to get. She acts nonchalant and indifferent to feeling/emotions but doesn’t give up ‘doing it’. So in few hours/days/months/years/decades, the boy realizes she’s the ‘one’ and confesses his love for her. How divine! And she is just 18! Now where did she accrue such cosmical brainpower huh? Her logic totally defies mine! Which being- act upon gut, non-nonsense approach and no acting coy, confess your feelings blahhh.

So clearly, this 18yr old has an edge on me. I am an imbecile and retard when it comes to playing guys. Damn! Too late to learn?
NO!
So henceforth, I’m going to be flipping coy and play harder to get. That’s what works, so be it I say!

Lesson learnt = Play hard to get because men get turned off by commitment and emotional BS that girls are full of. Blame Charles Darwin.

Alternate ending could have been: boy had a good time, and then ta-ta chi-chi bye-bye. Girl left high and dry with 'cool' attitude and no boy! I guess everyone has different approaches when a "suitable boy" is around..no one is really their true, true self in front of a potential mate...but at least being closer to what one really is, is probably a better bet! Just my two cents :)

i agree with ur comment...other side of coin it is..But u will have to agree that playing hard to get works most times thatn the reverse-unless we have a sensible, grownup guy that isnt ashamed of feelings...agree? adn they seem to be missing, holocaust Im guessing

SJ said...

Well, the sensible one is the one to aim for, right? And I do believe they are around (experience speaks :))...its just that they are not as visible as the frivolous ones. I wouldn't count on the frivolous ones having a dramatic change of heart. That is rare! :)

Have you noticed the sensible ones end up being my brothers? Madhu, Dilip? very frustrating I say!
