I admit that I've always been too much of a nice guy (aka wussy). I'm trying to make myself better with women. what are some pointers on playing hard to get? I wanna be able to get closer (both physically and emotionally) with women in a "more than just friends" way.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
the only real way is to have options. That way you will literally be hard to get. If you opt for the fake path, be busy and aloof. Respond sparingly to her advances. If you are desperate, she will see right through any act you put on though so I don't advocate pretending to be hard to get.

Consider it step 3 in the process, with Step 1 being getting a woman to indicate interest and Step 2 being where you give a positive response to that interest. Doing a good job on steps 1 & 2 is what makes step 3 work. It's a push and pull. You pull back when she pushes forward.

Yep. It's not about playing hard to get. It's about seriously being hard to get.
First step is to get a life. Get some awesome hobbies. Make some great friends. Have adventures. Girls like me because I can sit down for a drink, tell some cool/funny stories, and then I disappear for a few days leaving them to wonder, "Where did that fun guy go?" And that's not a game I'm playing. I'm genuinely too busy to keep in touch all the time.
So, by having an active life, you will literally become "hard to get".

I agree with what has been said. Generally speaking, women want what they cannot have and like tension and drama. You need to live a busy life, filled with hobbies, activities, and date plenty of women so that you have options. When you literally have 3 different women that you can possibly go out with on any given day, you know you are busy and filled with different opportunities.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
