I see someone at the cinema and I wanna be friends so I walk over and comment her on her dress jokingly, a typical Nigerian would look at me and not smile. She will expect me to follow her around the whole place like some damn stalker.

I hate this thing die, follow follow, when i no be May D.

I beg to concur dude.

If getting turned down turns u off then u should be doing the growing up thingy and not the other way round.

A woman scorned is a woman with a motive, u dont expect them to easily say 'YES' b'cos u whispered into their ears u've got a Msc degree in ur kitty, u are flawless and u can trade paths in Pluto, it doesnt work that way bruh.

These creatures are sensitive, they think like rats grin and best way u'd have to roll with them is by behaving like a rat - Just stay sensitive.

High end scarsm in action.
Ps. I never said she turned me down. Reread my post in slow motion tongue

Matthew briggs: I don't think it is necessary to play hard to get especially in this 21st Century. When Men not Boys are getting scarce.

I understand the desire not to look cheap and all. But I believe if you see what you want and you like him and that person likes you why running in circles.

Personally this attitude turns me off very quickly. It tells me you still have some growing up to do, have no clear understanding of what you really want, and don't deserve my attention. This attitude is prevalent with not all but majority of women in their early 20's I think this maybe because of their lack in experience and the overwhelming attention they get from several guys.

I am not against this attitude but just be weary of the kind of guys you use it on. To some guys it might be a turn on, it's a sign that they need to try harder.

To guys like me who know what they really want, think long term and careless about the container that houses your soul. To guys like me who by default are spoilt with so many options but decide to focus our energy on you, this attitude turns us off. We just take it that you're not interested and off we go and once we are gone, we are gone. Our time is of essence.

To the ladies why do you play hard to get?
To the Guys are you the type that never gives up, or give up easily?

To me, No long things at all... I give up easily when it comes to wooing a lady... If you dont seem to respond at the first instance, I lock up straight not minding what the situation might be cos this thing na body language now... abi does she expect me to write it on a signboard before she knows how serious I am? Shior!

...in my own case,i played the so called 'hard to get' on my boyfriend(now fiance) and i have no apologies for that!!...the fact that he's not from my tribe made me more cautious to start with and him more persistent(for some strange reasons).....his patience paid off anyway and i am mightly glad i agreed cos he's awesome.....therefore i see nothing wrong with playing 'hard to get'!!!

If you like someone, why play hard? Ladies should be able to know what and who they want, as some good ones are mostly impatience on a temperamental level.

It may not guarrantee being loved more, so save him the energy to love you instead of exhausting it on playing hard. It turns some good guys off, I know what I'm talking about.

Do what you can on a moderate level.

Dude, we are talking about girls that give no answer, either yes or no. Girls that keep saying "i'll think about it". Some of them don't even say anything at all. They just keep smiling sheepishly for days, weeks, months and years.

Gerrit?

She took my heart hostage o! She's so fine it's unbelievable and she doesn't even know it! shocked She's smart, like Einstein-smart, and she's fun, darn! She's more fun than I've had all my life! She's got one heckuva personality too. She's like soothing breezes on a hot African afternoon by the beach and a Gordian knot too (learning her is an adventure). She's, like, my fraternal twin - it tends to feel like we're one soul in two bodies.

Keeping up with her is not beans! I've never been so tasked. But damned if I don't feel more alive for it! grin

That's the kind of Perm Sec I got, hon. Shawty's a twelve. wink

First of all, dis is Africa.. African ladies are quiet different frm American ladies. Am American lady can tell u right there and then whether she wants u or not but African ladies prefer to take some time. Playing hard to get didn't start today, it has been a part of our culture wen trying to woo especially in the marriage process. No matter how westernized or 31st century we become, some parts of our culture will always be a part of us. So dear guys, just pls try and enjoy dis game from our culture called "playing hard to get", after all its been said DAT "d patient dog eats the fattest bone"
