I think when it comes to women, its black and white.
i have dealt with women that really liked me and breh's, shyt felt nice AND natural. But this whole notion of playin hard to get and chasing i think is stupid. To a point atleast.
i think where the frustration arises from is dudes get that concept and lack of interest mixed up. If a shorty is feelin you, you'll 90-100% kno. Anything other than that, and you doing too much, especially if she ain't rewarding you.
Society is to blame for this because they changed how women are suppose to naturally behave (feminine and loving) into something they are not accustomed to doing. For example, a shorty you know likes you, but her friends and society tells her she shouldn't be easy because guys hate that and therefore she should play hard to get. So she starts to do something out of her element and what ends up happening? the guy will either fuk her and leave her for playing or completely lose interest and drop her altogether. (A lose-lose)
Going back to the original point, even if you were to cut back on shyt and she comes back, i styll wouldn't entertain it. Ignore her texts and phonecalls, but not as a tactic. Really move on. You'll kno after this whether or not she was really and truly interested or if you saved yourself from a whole lot frustration and shyt. (A win-win)
P.S., this doesn't apply to shorties ya'll ain't attracted to.
