Playing hard to get? Ummmm. Maybe she's just not interested?
In what way is she "playing hard to get"? Mais que diable allait-il faire,

Maybe she's just not that into you?
Also, as a woman I know that my BF is a hunter, a predator.
If he has to make an effort to keep me, or keep pursuing me
then he values me more.
I do this because I have healthy self-esteem.
If I'm not worth his time and trouble, he can move on to someone else. "The warrior-meditator's job involves clarifying and subduing one's own misunderstandings. It means overcoming fear."

Listen to what reverse lunge said, that is wise advise. Also, play more dungeons and dragons. The sweet is never sweet without the sour.

She may:
Not like you, and want you to leave her alone and die.
Like you, but be scared you don't like her, and not want to get rejected.
Be completely unaware you exist and therefore not take the time to be nice.
Know you, but be blissfully ignorant to that fact you like her, and her being hard to get may just be her base personality.
Know you like her, but doesn't like you, so she's not giving you any hope so as to spare your feelings.
Know you like her, likes you back, but doesn't know how to flirt, and/or that's how she's flirts, or she doesn't want to look desperate.
Have fun with that... "You can honestly say that you can settle for a life full of repression and denial?" "And the dinner parties. You can never forget the dinner parties."

Also she could be an alien in disguise trying to take over the world, but realizes that you're small potatoes compared to the president and as such you're actually safe from her evil machinations! (not every day I get to use the word machinations!  )

kthx oh yeah, dude, you sound young..most chicks under 25 are just plain silly..trust me, it gets better when you're older..older chicks mean what they say and say what they mean, are more confident, easier to get along with, more fun to hang with.. i just went out with someone in her 30's and i had a blast.. 
i say just forget about them and concentrate on fencing and school, get your A('s) in both.

Ehh, they're not all that bad. A good deal of figuring them out involves not trying to figure everything out b/c stuff usually doesn't work out neatly. You can't expect to get an explicit formula for dealing with women; you might, however, be able to approximate a Taylor Series Expansion or emply Euler's method after doing a Fourier transform and be able to come up with something workable (since math seems to be the language of choice here). Or you could also play hard to get and set up a nice little relationship countertime action...maybe even a relationship Finta In Tempo....

I mean if he's talking about a 30yr old physicist that enjoys things like math and computer programming and attended a few emminently dorky school famous for advancing technology like Cal Tech or Carnegie Mellon then he'd probably be right...you are kind of old

The Economist's answer:
Women, genetically, want to bag the best guy they can, who will provide for them and their children in the best possible way.
However, if you actually WANT to date me, then it's possible that I could do better, so I'll initially rebuff you.
At this point, one of two things will happen. Either I'll find a better guy, or you'll prove your worth. You can do this by showing your devotion to me, primarily through gifts. If you demonstrate that you would be a good provider, then perhaps you may actually be worthy.
This is roughly equivalent to: People like attention. It makes them feel good. If they like you, eventually they'll give you something in return, if they just want you to be there to stroke your ego, you'll get nothing. Either way, don't give your hopes up.

heres what you can do. you make it clear that you like her. if she shows signs of liking to you too. and plays hard to get. do the same to her. act indifferent. she does'nt reciprocate, ditch any ideas of going with her.

kthx This topic has been dealt with in several threads before. I recommend that you search for posts by "cowpaste", you will get a lot to read. That said, my recommendation is to go for someone else. If all men would immediately back off any woman why "plays hard to get", only those who genuinely want to be left alone would do it, and there would be much less trickery in the mating game.
I would also recommend you to do a websearch for the Finnish usenet poster "Danimal". He has written prolifically, and in my mind well on this topic. Do not expect to find any happy news, though.
Have a nice time!
