DeBlog: Does Playing 'Hard-To-Get' Work?

Valentine's Day is coming, and I want to use the power of Good Question to help people get better at dating. I'm all about bringing people together.

So tonight's Good Question is about dating strategy, and I put out it on my Twitter feed to get some instant feedback: Does playing hard to get work?

Jillian in St. Cloud tweeted: "I'm SO over playing hard to get. I'm at a point in my life I just want to know where guys stand! BE HONEST!"
Leif responded: "not for me. more annoying than anything."

But Sean said: "Complete honesty ends the sense of wonder/interest."
Angie added: "In my experience not being completely avail. all the time has helped. Kind of a supply/demand type deal. The value increases. :)"
Katie too: "Playing 'hard to get' can spark an interest. Lots of people think too available = not sexy."

There is scientific research on this (of course), and we'll share that with you at 10. In the meantime, share your "hard to get" stories/thoughts in the comments!
