This may have been said before, i dunno cuz i didn't read everything...
girls have lots of insecurity issues, due mainly to peer and media influences...you know, the usual, body image, too fat- too thin, ugly-hot, and they usually have tons of problems with what boys think of them...
because of this, "playing hard to get" is a way of superiority and power that they may lack because of self-esteem issues and because of this STUPID PATRIARCHAL SYSTEM, and thus is a mental ideology that increases a sense of worth....
know what i mean?
If not, whatever but basically, boys: don't be so slack and full cuss out at girls for "playing hard to get", there are certain levels which should NOT be frowned upon... and girls, there are boundaries you know...when a guy asks you out, and if you like them, by saying no, you could ultimately be refusing a possible SOULMATE for the little game your playing...
watch out!
