Cupid’s Advice:
While honesty is key in a healthy relationship, being a little coy with your emotions in the beginning may be what it takes to get the spark going. Cupid recommends when playing hard to get is a good thing:
1. Playing the game: Many people treat dating like a fun game, so not letting on right away can create a pursuit that will make finding out more about you a goal your crush is striving to achieve. Â Bring on the excitement!
2. Adding mystery: By not immediately laying it all out there, you’re leaving something to the imagination. Your romantic interest will have to ask you out again to get more info about you, ensuring a second or even third date.
3. Playing it safe: While it’ll take your potential partner longer to learn more about you, it’ll also take you longer to learn about him/her, allowing you to truly get to know the person you could be dating before you get too serious.
