Playing “hard to get” has been touted as a tried-and-true way to attract and date a partner. This advice is mostly directed at women as a way to “get the guy,” but it’s been put out there to all as a smart strategy for getting dates and keeping a potential partner’s interest.

According to some researchers, surveys say YES, playing hard to get does actually work. It supposedly sends the message that a person is choosy and somehow more valuable.
While it may work for some people, the dating game where you feign disinterest and make yourself difficult to reach has very real dangers which could prevent the kind of long-lasting and happy relationship you’re looking for.
Maybe you recognize the dangers of playing hard to get, but you just can’t seem to date successfully without it. It’s helpful to understand WHY people fall into this dating game so that you can start choosing a new way.
So here are four reasons why you’re playing hard to get (when you REALLY shouldn’t be):
1. You want to look like you are SUPER mysterious.
Think of the countless movies and tv shows that you’ve seen where the one whom others chase after the most and pine for is elusive and unreachable — the person is always disappearing into a crowd and leaving their date yearning for more. Even survey respondents said that people who play hard to get seem somehow MORE attractive.
The truth is, in real life, playing hard to get can cause you to appear snobbish, superior, uninterested, or like a waste of time. When you try to be mysterious, the other person may think you’ve got something to hide … and that’s not necessarily a turn on.
