The Naked Truth | How best to play ‘hard to get’ and boost the thrill of the chase – even when ‘caught’
- Making someone pursue you can do wonders to intensify their interest, but playing ‘hard to get’ effectively is more difficult than just acting unavailable
- If you are already in a romantic relationship and want to maintain some of the ‘chase’ there are ways to build that desire in your partner
It is a widely accepted belief that men “love the chase” even more than what awaits them at the end. If the theory is true, is playing hard to get an effective way to conquer their hearts?
Both men and women want to be valued by their partners because being wanted and desired makes anyone feel special. It is this desire from a partner that tends to make us feel secure in a relationship.
But once you “have” someone, is it possible to make them keep wanting you, or maybe wanting even more of you?
We all value the things we have fought hard to achieve or attain, and love is no exception. This is because we are proud of the efforts that we have put into something or someone that is special to us.
That sentiment is key to making the strategy of playing hard to get successful and it can be applied to most relationships.
If you want to be taken seriously or be valued by your romantic interest, many suggest that you avoid chasing them and simply act aloof, even when your heart says otherwise.
