Playing Hard to Get

How many times have you wondered if a first date was going to call you back? How many times have you second guessed whether the connection was there or not? Am I emailing her too much? Should I tell him how I really feel or should I wait? It's as if you're in a high stakes tennis match with love and romance at stake. I have news for you. Love and romance is not a game. However some have made it so by applying a simple principle in economics called the law of supply and demand. The law of supply and demand simply states that when scarcity is created or supply decreases, demand increases. On the other hand, if supply is increased then the demand decreases.

When applying this principle to the dating or courting process, it would lead you to believe that you shouldn't be so readily available. You should create some scarcity when it comes to your availability or not play all your emotional cards at once. I repeat this is not a game. Nor is this some economic principle. There are emotions and love at stake. Both parties have a certain amount of responsibility to one another. Every minute, hour, or day that you decide to toy with the emotions of another, is time that you have taken away from that person finding the love that they deserve. When you decide to play around with others, you give the tower of the universe clearance to play around with you in return. Remember that phrase your mother always said, "Treat others how you wish to be treated." Why? Because it's sure to come flying back around like a boomerang.

Yes, some may make the argument that if you're overbearing or come on too strong, you run the risk of scaring some away. To that I say, romance has a plan for you. Yes, you have a romantic destiny and those scared away were meant to be sent packing. Your soulmate will be as in sync as you are. Your advances will be welcomed with open arms. Your emotions will be handled with great care and most important, there will be no need to second guess your position or the progression of the romantic cycle. - Chris Mott - www.mottivation.com

The Perils of Playing Hard to Get

If you’re playing hard-to-get, focus on being playful and respectful as you take things slowly.

The first rule of successfully playing hard to get is to practice good manners. This includes arriving on time, and promptly returning calls, emails and texts.

Effective, respectful ways of playing hard to get:

Women:

1. Don’t initiate contact, but respond promptly to emails, texts and calls.
2. Express interest, praise and appreciation when you’re with him.
3. Don’t accept last-minute dates. Make plans as usual––don’t break dates with friends in order to see him.

Men:

1. Don’t tell her how amazing she is on a first or second date. She’s likely to wonder, “Why is he saying that? He barely knows me.”
2. If she doesn’t respond to your phone call, text or email, wait a couple of days before trying again.
3. Don’t talk about your hopes for a possible future together until you’re moving into a relationship.

While it pays to communicate that you’re interested, moving too quickly is likely to be the kiss of death for a budding romance.
