“Playing Hard to Get” vs. Testing Sanity

There’s a difference between:

• slowing the pace to get to know someone,
  and

• turning attraction into an obstacle course.

The first is discernment.
The second is ego dressed as femininity.

If you genuinely like someone, why manufacture hurdles?
Why elongate a simple yes/no into an emotional scavenger hunt?

Games breed ghosts, not relationships.
And when you teach a man he must chase you, you also teach him he must constantly doubt you.
