Why do girls play hard to get?

[DontThinkTwice]

I don't analyse women anymore. I used to, but it's futile. Doesn't matter what game they're playing. Ignore. Look at actions over words.

This is the right response. Also all the answers above are possibly correct. There are a lot of reasons and without knowing more details, you sometimes can't piece it together.

Don't let girls be timewasters. Keep any future conversation to setting up a date and not providing free attention. You are too busy to talk on the phone or text all day. Had this this month, and finally next'ed the girl.
