How do you play hard to get, but in an affective way?

i met a guy i really like, finally after breaking up with my boyfriend of 4 years, and i dont really know how it works. i want to play hard to get but im not really sure how to do it in a way that will work well. i dont want him to think im too shy or that im not into him, but i dont wanna be all clingy and make him think im attatched already. help!How do you play hard to get, but in an affective way?
Don't ';play'; anything. Playing mind games is a good way *not* to get a guy, because it makes you nothing but a phony. Just be yourself. Contact him when you want and behave as you normally would. If he doesn't like the way you act, then he doesn't like *you*.How do you play hard to get, but in an affective way?
ignore him..but not harshly.so dont make it loook like your mad at him...just dont talk to him until he comes and talks to you and then u can talk to him...does that make sense? so dont really go towards him-let him come and talk to you-then u can carry on with convos and act a bit reserved when talking to him..not totally excited and giddy

hope i helped :D
Try talking to him, and maybe flirting once in a while, but don't look too interested. Good luck!
just be yourself...dont play games



my rule of thumb for not coming on too strong...



i never call him 2 times in a row. if i call him, he has to call or text him again...ball is in his court.



thats not really playing a game...or playing hard to get...its just keeping yourself in check for not coming on too strong.
Guys don't like clinginess, you've got that right... but don't play games either. Be friendly to him. People need to speak the truth, just don't overwhelm him with ';I looove you.'; Ask him if he has a gf, or hang out with friends, he'll know you're interested.
look at him...then look away..then look back

flirt with him then right after flirt with other guys

be CONFIDENT and show him your not afraid
Get his number. Don't call/text him constantly, let him initiate it. Don't be distant (I.e never return calls/texts or end them abruptly), but don't come on too strong. It's a fine balance you must sustain.
You should walk up to him,

and act like you are about to start a conversation,

then run off to one of your friends. ;]
be nice but don't be so available all the time for example if he says text me at 5 don't text him when the clock changes from 4:59 to 5:00 on the dot...wait awhile, see what happens ;)
Leave him hanging!

Dont give anything up to easily and make him work for that kiss.Often bite your lip and look at his but dont kiss him until he is dying to kiss you.



Also, try responding to his texts after a longer period of time. Wait 15 mintues or 30 mintues to respond back. And leave mystery in your life. Dont tell him too much information.



This is all before you start dating ofcourse.



Once he tells you he likes you and wants to be with you, your onto the next stage and passed playing hard to get.
umm im not too sure about that, but if u ever do go out with this guy, please make sure ur like completly over ur ex...dont do what my gf did, well now shes my ex as of last week, and we were together for a year...but anyways, juss make sure ur over ur ex cuz i dont want that guy u like to be in the situation i wus in, where my ex would juss keep dreading of her ex and compare him to me, and i hated it and when i confronted her how i felt about how she needed to get over him she flipped outt..soo yea before u start dating again make sure ur over ur ex!!!..and my ex wus with her ex for 3 years soo yeahh, kinda like u
