For the guys ... is ignoring the best way?

It depends on the guy. Some guys like the chase. Some guys like candid.

Don't ignore him...but don't hang off him either. I just read "Why Men Love B!tches" and it made sense...appear busy, if he wants to go out Wednesday night, ask him if he can do Friday instead because you have blah blah blah to do. Appear independant, not needy.0

I'd rather you just bring it on, but that's my personality.

For me personally, I prefer direct approach with no game playing. I would assume that if you are playing games now, it will continue, and that would turn me off.0

Some guys are clueless when someone who actually likes them tries to hint it. It depends on the guy. If he has NO IDEA, then you should at least let him know.

I prefer honesty. I can play games on the Xbox.0

You should definitely play head games with him so he has no earthly idea what your feelings are.
Certainly, he'll figure out that you ignoring him is your way of saying, "I like you," and he'll respond in kind.

Don't try to manipulate him.0

A lot of my friends are telling me to ignore the guy I like to give him the option to "chase" me.
Honestly, I think the last time I did that, I was summarily ignored right back. :noway: :sad: :laugh:
Unless it's Twister, Mah Johng or Scrabble, games are totally not for me.
Be yourself and good luck! :flowerforyou:0 -

Definitely this (except it's a PS3, not an Xbox).0 -
I thought it sounded crazy but I have no game so was thinking I was maybe just clueless, lol.0

Letting him chase you is never a bad idea, but you wont try if he doesnt even have a clue that you're interested.
Flirt a little, let him know you brought your trunks to the pool party, then back off and see if he responds.0 -

Even the last bit? Cause that would confuse me.0 -
Here's the thing, when you're in your 30s, if a guy's not mature enough to put the games aside, he's not worth your time. I say, walk up to him say something like, "Hi. I think you're interesting and I want to get to know you better. Do you want to get together for some coffee or something?" Guys like instructions.0

Some guys? I'd say all guys (including myself) can be clueless. I think direct is the way to go. Game playing leads to so much confusion, misunderstanding, and hurt.0 -
Yes, I'm not a guy... I am a woman and think playing games is silly. Ignoring someone you are interested in is a sure way to make someone think..... wait for it.... you aren't interested!!0

He knows I like him ... that is not as issue.0
-
<---- hates game playing... it sucks.0
-
Sometimes I ignore the person I like because it's too nerve wracking to actually talk to them.0

Then what's the issue?0 -
I've been married for a loooong time so this is all from memory. I was one of those guys that was totally clueless. If you ignored me I would not chase. Even if you didn't ignore me I wouldn't chase. I pretty much needed to be hit over the head with your intentions. So as others have said, it depends on the guy.0

We like them. We just won't ask for them. :laugh:0 -
Imo that is stupid advice.0

Sometimes he seems interested ... other times he doesn't. It seems the more I talk to him, the more he backs off. The more I back off, the more he talks to me. So then my friends told me to just ignore him ... and I'm clueless. My thinking is if I ignore him, he'll think I'm no longer interested. I'm so confused.0 -

I'll third that :bigsmile:0 -
If it matters to you, go head on and broach the topic. I did a little dance like this not too far back. Finally, we had a quasi-date. When it was over, we agreed to stay friends.0

Well, I'm not a guy, and I really don't have any advice seeing as how I'm still single myself. However, I hear a lot of guys say they like an honest woman and someone who knows what she wants, but it has been my experience that when they find said woman they don't quite know what to do with her.0

Hmm... It seems he's getting advice from the same people as you.0
