I know that playing games sometimes is really a childish gambit, but there are some things you gotta do, to get the kind of attention you need and deserve from the woman you're attracted to, and playing hard to get is one of them!

Even if she knows you're into her, don't throw yourself at her disposal, just so you can win her over. If she knows you're available for her all the time, then she will rain all over your parade and make it difficult for you to get what you really want.

Playing hard to get is different from 'the chase' and in no way, it's as harsh as it sounds. It's just that it may backfire sometimes if you drag it along too far or if you play too hard to get, to get her attention. 

Other than that, it's a fun game to indulge in and by the end of it, we know for sure, she's going to be wanting you back as much as you want her in the first place.

Here are 5 ways you can play hard to get to win her attention:

(1) Do Not Give Her The Attention She Wants

Yes, of course, she wants attention from you. Even if she doesn't say it, she always wants it. So, give her the attention she needs but not the attention she wants. Which means, you really need to get into your crush's head to figure out what kind of attention she wants and try and play hard to get around that.

The thing is, if you give her the attention she wants, she will stop working towards caring about that attention from you and it'll all end there. So, always weigh the kind of attention you want to give her. Like, keep an eye on her but don't mollycoddle her, at least for a while. But don't create such a distance that she isn't interested in pursuing anything with you. Be smart about it.

(2) Get Her To Make An Effort

You obviously want your crush to make an effort for you, big or small. While she's making an effort, don't negate those efforts or act aloof and don't shy away from making efforts yourself. But remember to get her to make an effort for you. That's the one thing that will also bring equality into the equation, apart from playing hard to get. 

By playing hard to get, you can always make her feel in subtle ways, that making an effort for someone you care about isn't a bad thing at all.

(3) Give Her A Chance To Miss You

This one's important. Giving her space is very relevant if you want to win her attention. It makes her wonder about you more, which in turn makes her think about you and want to see you more often. It's like reverse psychology. 

Keeping her in mystery about your whereabouts really works like a charm. You can emerge once in a while and strike up a conversation. Don't go completely MIA on her, girls don't like that. In fact, be around from a distance, so that she misses you and wants to see you.

(4) Build The Sexual Tension But Make Her Wait For ***

If you're a smart guy, you'd know what I mean. Usually, women are a tease for men but sometimes men can be a tease too. You can build sexual tension in a lot of ways. 

You can attract her just by using your body language or by doing subtle things like sending hot selfies (not nudes!) of you, or using the element of mystery, to completely intrigue her.

Whatever you do, build the sexual tension for a while but never give in, no matter how turned on the two of you are. This can be of great advantage for you, as she'll obviously want you more and when you do have *** with her eventually, it'll be great.

(5) Use The Element Of Mystery

Don't let her in easy, always keep your guard up for a while, when you're playing hard to get, just so she's more intrigued by your presence. Be the man of mystery, she is dying to solve! 

It's rather simple. A woman's mind tends to fill the missing gaps, when there is a lack of information. If you reveal everything at once, there is no scope for leaving anything to the imagination. Simply put, the psychology of attraction always helps if you don't reveal much about yourself and let them be as curious as they can, leaving an element of mystery, to ponder upon. So, let her want to know you more and more before you give in and become unguarded.

Playing hard to get should never be stressful psychologically or otherwise for either of you. Don't come off as an ass****! Keep your distance intelligently and give her the affection she deserves, be mysterious but not stupid. 

Don't lose your lady love in the bargain and always respect her choices. Once she's completely into you, you can stop playing hard to get and get to know her like you want to, as well.
