Playing Hard to Get

An easy read on playing hard to get.

Reminds me of a quote from the book "Our Tragic Universe" by Scarlette Thomas: “I realized that when someone plays hard to get, they are making themselves into a character in a story, and they chose the story that leads to the outcome they want. If a woman puts a dragon between herself and the hero, it becomes an obstacle to be overcome. If she goes and knocks on his door and says ‘fancy a bunk up?’ she becomes a slut: basically a conquest with no obstacles and therefore no value. It was like people wanted to put everything in a story because otherwise it wouldn’t make any sense” (278).
