What's the Point of Playing Hard To Get?!

Dear Portland,

If you are feeling a dude that respectfully approaches you, what is the point of “playing hard to get?”


Respectful Guy

Dear Respectful,

Classic…

For most women it’s pretty simple. If he’s interested he’ll show you and more than once if necessary. Why do we do this? Because we are not sure of your REAL intentions and we aren’t really sure if we like you yet. Yes, you may express your most heart felt feelings, which we like, but your actions speak louder than the words.

A man will see a woman of interest and approach her as soon as the coast is clear. Because men tend to take a woman for her word and almost immediately is ready to move forward. Not always a good thing but that’s a whole new question to answer. Women are a bit more cautious when approached by a man. Although the exterior package may look correct—getting to know you is usually what we’re doing. Are you really as good of a man as you say you are? Baggage, etc…

So, I apologize for all the women in your life that have or are playing hard to get but hopefully one of them is worth the effort.


"Hard To Get" Love, Portland
