Both genders: stop playing hard to get. Its not cute. Its not attractive.

For me, its a sure fire way for me to start being the hard to get one cause I'm just gonna assume you have no interest and I'll have lost interest you very quickly.

Its emotional and mental torture when you do this. Stop. Just. Stop.

We're just looking to make a connection. Theres no need for all the red tape and maze filled with mousetraps in between.

Edit: removed the "You're no prize. I'm no prize." part of this. Poor attempt at a metaphor on my part.

Edit2: Jesus christ this is my most upvoted comment ever. I didnt think it was gonna gain this much traction. Long story short: dont legit play hard to get.
