Playing hard to get is a dating strategy that can be used to create interest and attraction. Here are some tips on how to play hard to get:

1. Keep it playful. The whole point of playing hard to get is that you and your crush are both having fun playing a bit of a game. And play is meant to be light-hearted! Make it a bit flirty, send some cute messages or emojis and be silly with it. You can send little teasing texts .

2. Make it clear that you’re into your crush physically, by flirting, “accidentally” brushing against them, and touching your lips while you talk. Even if you’re dying to kiss your crush, let them think it’s actually their idea. If they’re really not getting the idea, you can go in for a hug. They’ll probably take the hint .

3. Don't always be available. If you're always available, then there's no challenge for your crush to pursue you. Make sure that you have other things going on in your life besides your crush .

4. Be confident in yourself and your worth. You don't want to come across as desperate or needy .

5. Don't be afraid to say no. If your crush asks you out on a date and you're not interested, then say no .

I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
