True or False and why

[tryst type]

If a girl thinks you're a "catch" she'll play mind games like "hard to get" acting aloof, etc hoping to boost your interest.

Do you mean "thinks " or "say's" your a catch?
If she thought it but didn't say it how would you know?

I have had a few over the years who say it, and it's just a sure sign to say she's interested in you, the ball is now in your court.

"Thinks" I ask this question because I've noticed from time to time some girls will make you work for their time (which I never do anymore) and I was recently told by a guy friend that it's because the girl is really interested but wants to make sure you're not a player?

This friend is decent with girls but not part of this community so was curious if what he says has some truth.

I just figured these girls just liked being chased as an ego boost and thus I avoid falling into it.

In my experience a girl who thinks you are a catch won't play mind-games like ignoring texts/calls, flaking, mixed messages, etc. She might make herself seem busy and make sex wait, but will always be clear in communication. She will help you push the interaction. It will be effortless since being a catch implies that you are seen as something valuable.

If you're getting games then she has some prior baggage, is getting bad advice, or is just plain inexperienced.

What kind of catch are we talking about here?

"He's sexy" catch or "he's my ticket to a luxury life" (two examples out of many) catch?

"He's sexy" catch.

Simple thought experiment: if Tom Brady asked a regular girl out, how many games and sh*t tests would he face? I think he'd get few or even none.

I think at first he'd get none then she'd play games after to keep him lured in. I've seen this happen when a girl is trying to keep a guy around for the long run.

Three basic answers to this question.
1) She wants a new orbiter.
2) She was testing to stroke her ego, nothing more.
3) She's interested, but has no confidence.

Show some interest back, then let her chase you. If she doesn't, find one that will for this one was not that interested or will likely end up being high maintenance.

Would she play games with Brad Pitt? I don't think so.

Women who are interested in you won't confuse you. They won't throw out mixed signals and play games.

TWISI, it could be a power grab so that she has control.

Women are strange, aren't they?

Women know a "catch" has lots of options. She won't risk losing him or turning him off by playing silly games. At least in the early stages.

Women don't play games until they have somewhat of a solid spot in a relationship (real or perceived). Once she has some level of solid ground, she will push for more power and control. This is when the games start.

So in the early stages --> NO GAMES

Once she has some power.. she will use games to get more. If getting more is not possible, she will feel rejected. Some women will keep chasing and some wont. However, if she manages to get all the power she wants, she will lose interest.

All together, there is no avoiding relationship drama with women if you want to keep them interested. The only thing that works long-term is the roller-coaster relationship --> Giver her power temporarily, then take it away. And repeat this over and over for the duration of the relationship.

All roller-coaster relationships don't have to be highly dramatic. It just depends on the woman. With some women there won't be much drama and it will just be a mild power struggle over petty stuff. Just depends.

PlayHerMan I agree. I'm starting to think as I look back on the early stages ones who play these games that they're shy or haven't really emotionally disconnected from a prior relationship/interest.

I find some girls like to keep a guy chasing for their amusement, I can admit in retrospective I was probably showing too much interest too early even if I was my playful teasing self.
