The appeal of playing hard to get playing hard to get has long been a dating strategy, often thought to create intrigue and make one appear more desirable. The belief is that by not showing immediate interest, you increase your perceived value, making the other person chase after you. 

While this might work in some situations, it can also lead to misunderstandings, frustrations, and missed opportunities.

Celebritynote has compiled some of the reactions below.
