Have you ever used the flirting technique of playing hard to get? Before the defined relationship phase when you're just "hanging out" with someone, playing hard to get is a common strategy. It gives the impression that you are too busy and many times disinterested in the other person. It sounds harsh, but the goal is to get the other person to realize how badly they want to be with you and fully commit.
I don't love playing games, but sometimes playing a little hard to get is kind of fun. Nothing extreme like not responding to texts for days on end, but more along the lines of actively avoiding your crush at a party and working the room so you seem endlessly enigmatic. Don't they say the chase is the fun part?
All jokes aside, playing hard to get is the worst when you're on the receiving end. The waiting around, the confusion, the anxiety. None of that is cool. If you're planning on scamming your crush into wanting you more, don't throw too many curve balls or they might take your dating games seriously and find someone better worth their while.
