    Key words “if a serious man is pursuing you” and “playing hard to get.” Yes “playing” any game is a horrible idea but there’s a difference between that and being intelligent about not getting emotionally or physically involved prematurely. Subtly but genuinely Reciprocate his investments and don’t try to force a relationship. Let it happen and don’t over focus on him, continue to live your life in the meantime. Learn how to read him and really get to know him, and if things are going well, go deeper gradually at whatever pace he sets if you’re ready if not pump the brakes and tell him you want to slow things down. It’s not about being hard to get or easy necessarily. It’s about being in the moment and not coming off as too needy or too guarded. Not every man that pursues you wants a relationship so you do have to hold out until you understand his motives for dating you in the first place.

      I think we should not be reluctant to be in a relationship. But men today definitely talk to lots of women, i went to a date last week with a dude, he was showing me a video when a message from the other girl popped up. She was calling him « baby ». I asked him what was that, he told me that since i don’t want to be romantic with him he needed someone else. He doesn’t know im still judging him. Later on that day he also said a very insulting thing to me... he keeps apologizing but I’m done. These men have multiple women they talking to, this why they don’t care when one of them reject them.

    • @AshleyMintz
      @AshleyMintz Před 4 lety

      Ngombella S I’ve had a similar experience where a guy was showing me something on his phone and a message from another girl popped up, lol and it wasn’t a friendly message either. I know the game by now though.
      I have dated guys who probably wouldn’t have a bunch of other women if I would have agreed to be exclusive with them but they were too emotionally needy and suffocating. It’s like two extremes, two different kinds of men on opposite ends of the spectrum and neither would be a healthy relationship.
      A part of me is still hopeful but the other part is very skeptical.

    Hi, judging from some of the comments, clarification of "Playing hard to get" may be needed. It seems to imply if a woman abstains from sex, she's playing hard to get. That may be true in some instances. However, there are women who choose to abstain from sex until marriage or wait to have sex in the relationship.
    Communication and honesty are key. It's important to spend time early on talking & LISTENING to determine if you're both on the same page regarding wants and expectations in the relationship.

    @tsue1664 Před 4 lety

    This makes a lot of sense and literally has changed the ‘game’ for me. From what I have learnt about men and having nurtured a male child, I understand more about men - in my opinion- often men are really sensitive souls and with respect, sometimes a little emotionally less developed- possibly more invested in the outwardly signs of success sometimes at the detriment of inner development. But guess what? For some women, brought up with these such fathers or abandoned by these such fathers we too have our emotional sensibilities and need to heal as well. So what I am saying is - yes thank you for this invaluable information but please understand that some women aren’t ‘playing’ at all. Some women are just hard to get - not that we think ourselves some great prize or that we want to be hard to get - we want to be loved. We just want / need the nice men to not give up on us so easily.....we don’t mean to hurt you...I don’t want to feel like I have to keep proping up male insecurity to let him know I actually might like him- when I am grappling with my own insecurities at the same time...women can’t fix everything. Look, I’m no expert... but it can be a mind field negotiating humanness!, particularly between the sexes. It does seem to get easier though, the more you grow and individually heal and yes learn how to love and value yourself... but great video gave me a lot of insight. Men shouldn’t chase - and neither should women - there needs to be mutuality and emotional maturity and that can be tricky, a little more kindness and active healing helps too. 💖

It was my fault for letting my greed for gifts & money cause me to play into that game. I thank God for His forgiveness of my contributions to the matter.

      I take this as making sure your not too available for men. If I like someone I’m ok with spending time. Not saying I cancel plans if say a guy asks etc. I have kids half the time and work full time. I get one day a week with no kids so if I’m dating someone and looking for a relationship then yes I set that day for us to do something. I don’t introduce my kids never have to a man since divorced. That limits availability on my end

    How does this work if you have chosen to be celibate until marriage. I get hit with this line all the time " I'm not going to marry someone and I don't know if the sex is good!" And I just keep it moving! Men would say that I was playing hard to get! Right, due to the fact that I have kids. But I have changed me! I want more! I need a kingdom relationship. Someone whom I can be me with, praise God with, pray with. I'm sick of this fake mess. I am tired of wasting time, putting in time and it gets no where. This is why I choose to be kingdom focused. God is going to have to knock me down in order to see mines.(My husdand) Because I choose to stay focused. And don't get it twisted I get lonely, but I would rather sit and wait for the right one then to keep ending up with garbage bag men! I just don't have it in me anymore to rescue men! So if it's me being hard to get then I know I'm worth the race because I am not what I bring to the table "I AM THE TABLE!".

      This. Thank you! I was just wondering why a lot of women were against not playing chase games, but now I know. They are interpreting it as when to give in to sex and not seem easy. That's the problem right there. Sex shouldn't be on the agenda at all until after marriage. Then there is no insecurity or anxiety sbout that situation.

      @@yanacshell I have to agree! Sex should not be on the agenda until after marriage. But we grow up thinking the wrong things about sex! So it becomes a huge factor in a lot of people's relationships. God made sex so we know it's good but, the way it is being used is bad. Its gets in the way, can cloud judgement, have you making decisions off the sex. But if you wait until you know a person, you find out what YOU need to know about that person and actually have committed to not shopping around different aisles in the grocery store. Then it should go down and the connection should be immaculate because you know the person, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED from that person to be a better person and that is marriage. I'm not talking paper marriage, Soul marriage!

    • @yanacshell
      @yanacshell Před 4 lety +1

      @@kortiniamartin9682 Exactly. God made that a pleasurable experience but it's supposed to be in the context of marriage. If not, there are unnecessary consequences. There is an interesting TED talk by a lady explaining the chemical changes in the body after sex. Women usually get attached, men get more distant or stay close UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. But God is the One who created men and women the way we are. So if we follow what HE tells us, we protect ourselves. He has created us in these ways so that there are natural consequences when we don't.

    As women, we are taught to be coy and play hard to get.....of course some take this to the Nth degree...but many of us were warned by our mothers and grandmothers, not to be "easy". I'm all for reciprocating interest in a man if I see there is potential for a relationship to evolve. However, if I'm not interested in the man who chooses to pursue me, he could interpret my lack of reciprocation as playing hard to get. Your thought? 🤔🤷🏽

  • @12Messenger

    As a guy I don't pick up signals really good...i get mixed signals when a woman is playing hard to get. For example I liked this woman I saw everyday and I sat back a couple of days to observe how she carries herself and interacts with others before ai approached. I talked to her briefly and short..i made it clear by my actions i was interested because I asked her for her number and she gave it to me. The hard part was getting her to cooperate like she would do a lot of testing on dates and being kind of mean but at the same time she was sharing personal things with me and then would catch herself being vulnerable I guess...and after a minute i got confused and took it as no interest. She's a good woman but I'll just focus back on my work and wait till she opens up because I would like to stop playing these games and be vulnerable. I would consider marrying her too actually

      Try talking to her. Call out her behavior and let her know how that makes you feel. Unfortunately, she may not realize her behaviour. Let her know what you want. Then give her a chance. If she works on it. Then great. If not then make your decision. It should be worth a little extra effort if you've considered marrying her.

    Hmmm, you make some valid points brother Stephan. I believe that women and men should move cautiously but steadily as they navigate in their "love connections" with the opposite sex. As we all know, the Bible states to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication...Real talk, when a man sees what he wants in a potential wife, he will go into hunt and pursue mode, that's just a fact. And yes, a smart woman should and will hold back just a little of her heart. Now, don't get it twisted, she's not playing hard to get, she is genuinely interested. However, she should take her time, that does not mean take "forever and a day" ladies...For that matter, both parties should take one day at a time. With prayer, you will both definitely know if this person is the answer to your long awaited prayers.

    He also told me about a friend of his whose girlfriend kept up the chase for a long time. This guy likes the chase though and after he got this girl, he moves on to the next conquest, one after another. This year, he’s targeting a cute colleague.

      I met a girl again who plays hard to get so somehow i ended up here, there are some players who say be persistent and don't give up easily. However, it feels so off to me. I also, had an ex who played hard to get and most of the time it was so lonely that i thought of ways to hurt her, but before that i had this mindset that if i stay consistent, she will drop these games. However, in her mind it was "he is sticking with me, which means hard to get works".
      Eventually, i became numb and went cold on her, which then led to a complaint from her saying i changed and that she doesnt think i like her anymore. I simply said let's break up and deleted her number.
      I've met this cute girl recently at my workplace, but i am getting the same vibes. I guess I will just keep my distance.

    I enjoyed your video. You have VALID points. But I would like to say being hard to get DOESN'T mean being an ice queen or impossible to get. Being hard to get is to not being EASY to get. Meaning being there EVERYTIME he wants you too. Like last minute dates, accepting bad behavior & ALWAYS being the initiator, etc. Of course YOU have to reciprocate HIS behavior.Too many people have altered the TRUE meaning of hard to get!! And of course if you have been passed around like a party platter....YOU ARE NOT HARD TO GET.....BEING HARD TO GET IS BEING VERY SELECTIVE OF WHO YOU ARE WITH....

      @Monique .. When I think of playing hard to get.. it's someone who's interested in the other party but constantly looking for the other party to show their interest first (i.e. always waiting for the other party to call, text, set a date, etc).. On the flip side, a woman with standards will reciprocate the man's efforts, while maintaining her virtue.. A man that's worthy of a virtuous woman will recognize the difference.
