Why Do Women Want A Man Who Plays Hard To Get?
Question: Women complain that men do not contact them after a date and play hard to get.

Is He Shy Or Just Likes Me As A Friend

Should I Break Up With My Boyfriend?

How Can I Make Her Feel Like She’s Chasing Me?
Question: I've been going out with this woman for 3 months now. She told me she wants what she can't have and that she loves to chase. She asked me to make her chase me more.

Question: Thank you for everything you're doing. This is by far the best advice site and blog on authentic relationships.
