What else can a guy suffer after the initial graggs u women give?
Excuses like: Don't talk to me, i am not interested, don't call me after 10pm, don't call me on a sunday and reh reh reh.
It's ridiculous the kind of graggs n defensive schemes women use to cover their blushes.
I can understand when a woman does not like the geezer asking her out. . . . .but why feign lack of interest when u really really like someone?
Must women suffer in silence to test a guy's honesty?

Better to be sure of him then regretting later.

@ jackal

so if u were to ask a girl out, are u saying you wouldn't hold anything back. If you really like her you'd tell her exactly how you feel even if your not sure she feels the same way. You'll spend time and money on her and wouldn't mind if it didn't work out?

*just curious*

You can never be sure with men. . . . . . .Playing hard to get is just complicating issues.
If u don't want a guy. . . . You can play hard to get from here to Honolulu.
However, if u like a guy. . . .  .You could be mean but u have to keep him keen.

Relationship is all about taking RISKS. . . . . Life itself is a risk.
I ask ladies out not sure of whatever. . . . . Letz see how it goes is ma motto.
You can never know with any woman until u are close to her.
Blimey. . . . . .married couples will even tell u they did not know their spouses until they got married so what can u possibly know in the wooing stage?

It's necessary as a teenager- We all know at that stage there are a lot of randy and whorish boys tongue just wanting to get into your pants, so a girl has to guide her heart by playing hard to get  cool. But as you grow older, you are likely to take the bull by the horns wink.

God bless you.

What is so shameless in a woman throwing her cards on the table at 1st sight?
In this day n age of the internet, no guy sees such girls as being cheap unless the guy is village billy goat. . . .
What makes a woman cheap is the number of men she allows to pinch her HOLY GRAIL not saying YES on the 1st date. grin

Are we talking about love or just sex?

It is only guys in Naija that are spending their money on chicks, hoping for sex. Sex is a relatively cheap commodity here in the UK and guys do not need to be spending money chasing chicks.

If it is for love, I can chase a chick forever. A guy should know from the first meeting whether a chick likes him or not. If she likes you, you can tell from her smile, her gaze etc. If she doesn't like you, you will tell immediately and you will stop chasing her. If I chase a chick for a long period, she must have given me some encouragement. An encouragement could be just a kiss, a holding of hands, flirting etc. Infact, if she only wants to hold hands after say two weeks of chasing her, I can chase her indefinitely because that tells me she is a woman of principle who likes me but is not willing to put out too early. Sometimes a chick may like you but will not be willing to show because you are in a social gathering etc or because of social pressure. Maybe she knows your sister etc. In such a case, it is better to use guerrilla tactics. Just befriend the chick and keep your options open. Something will come of it, guaranteed. Naija guys need to stop chasing chicks indefinitely without encouragement. Maybe the chick no like you sef.

Please tell me your only trying to make a point because saying yes on the first date isn't a good thing either. shocked
Re: Playing Hard To Get: Is It Really Necessary? by dreeldee: 5:36pm On Jun 21, 2008
IF you like a guy and you're sure he likes you, give in if not easily because i see no point in playing the hard to get game when eventually you know you're still going to end up with him besides you could use the hard to get time to study him more, it doesnt mean you have to start sleeping with him immediately and even when you play the hard to get game for a year, it still doesnt reveal the real him

Playing hard to get means you're contemplating the issue. You don't play hard to get with people you know you wouldn't have anything to do with. A good old plain No would do. But sometimes men misinterpret your No for playing hard to get.

This is where i think most women get it wrong.

If a gurl likes a guy on her 1st date, there's nuthing wrong in her saying a resounding YES. . . . .It's a different issue if she ain't totally convinced and she needs time to sort her head out. The thang is, men can read through most women and if i know a gurl likes me but she just wanna be a silly hilly billy then i get pissed/bored.

Guys that are busy-minded won't waste time on a gurl playing pentagrams with their time n heart. . . . . they tend to move on!!!

Every man loves the chase, don't get me wrong.
However, there are ways to keep him interested throughout the chase without being rude.
Some women play hard to get in a depraved way. . . It's annoying!!!

Of course, everything i have said is ma own opinion on the matter.
Loads of Naija boys are jobless so the more u say NO. . . .the better it gets for them.
An idle mind will pray the chase lasts for a year(anything to keep him busy is well appreciated). cheesy wink
However, for me. . . . . The chase stops after 72 hours. She can ferk off after 72 hours. cheesy tongue

Seems we are not patching on the same wavelength here.
How does saying YES on your 1st date equates to SEX?? cheesy shocked

Besides, the guy asking u out musta known u for some time before he even thinks of asking u out.
Don't tell me Naija boys see a gurl for the 1st time and start telling her how he loves her and reh reh reh?
I don't wanna believe the state of their lunacy has reached such heights. grin grin grin

On the history note, i dunno how a guy would tell u he has got STD/STI while getting to know his history.
Stuffs like that are kept under lock and key even if u play hard to get for a millennium.
