Skidmore Guys Weigh In: Playing Hard to Get?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Skidmore chapter.

At a small, 60/40 school, the inevitable happens: we talk about guys. A lot. We could, as girls, write about what we think guys are thinking, but what fun is that? Instead, we’ve asked some of Skidmore’s finest men to give us their opinions on some of your most burning questions. Here’s what they had to say!


Dear HC,
After I meet a guy for the first time, I never know how to act to keep him interested. Should I be forward and go after what I want or should I make him come to me??
Sincerely,

Confused on Caroline St.

We asked: How do you feel about a girl playing hard to get?

“It’s great! It’s not that I like the chase, it’s just that it shows a girl has respect for herself.” – *Diego

“In most cases it’s good because it means they’re not getting with everyone. I don’t like the easy girls.” – *Phil

“I like the chase, but there has to be a little of both.” – *Collin

“It can be good at first but if it goes on for too long then I lose interest.” – *Allen

“It sucks… it blows.” – Jake

“One of the worst games. I just want a girl to be straight with me and tell me or show interest. I don’t want to analyze every text and every action, I just want her to be her.”- Derek

“Every girl does it. It took months to get my girlfriend but it was worth it. If they’re easy, they’re not worth it.” – *Mike

“Kind of annoying, but it’s part of the game.” – Jonathan
