Yeah. I’m talking to this girl now, and she literally takes three full days to respond to each text… But she always responds. Her consistency suggests she’s just playing hard to get, and knowing that makes me lose interest.

The point of hard to get isn’t to be playing a game, it’s to come off as busy, with a lot going on, and therefore a high value individual. That also demands a certain amount of inconsistency… There should be some immediate responses, but some delayed.

Last night, for instance, I finally responded to a text of hers (since she takes days, I have to take days too). She responded instantly–awesome–and I respond a minute later. No response since. Based on the past, she’ll send another comment on Tuesday evening. That’s not only lame, its ineffective.

You mean you wish a girl would send 10 texts for every one of yours? No, you don’t. Trust me. It’s exhausting. I used to wish for that too, but I was wrong.
