Yeah, it’s manipulative. And old-fashioned. And kind of unseemly. But it works.
You Will Need
- A guy you like
- And a lot of self-control
Step 1: Don't make the move
Don’t make the first move. Though it will likely get you a date—with a whopping 90% success rate—it will be for the wrong reasons. Basically, he’ll think you’re easy—and treat you accordingly.
Step 2: Don't be too eager
When a man who interests you starts a conversation, be friendly—but don’t act too eager. Eagerness can easily be misconstrued as desperation, which is never attractive.
Always be the first to end the conversation, even if you could look into his baby blues all night.
Step 3: Don't call first
Never call him first unless you have an outstanding reason—like you’ve snared tickets to the Super Bowl and want to know if he’s free to go.
Step 4: Take your time
Don’t be too quick to return that first call—and don’t explain why it took you so long to get back. If he asks, be vague. Make him wonder what you’re up to.
Don’t talk about your romantic past. Better to be mysterious than to divulge past loves or—worse—admit you haven’t had a date in years.
Step 5: Don't accept every offer
Don’t accept every offer of a date. Ideally, you should be politely declining about half of his invitations because you’re genuinely busy. But even if you’re not, pretend that you are.
Don’t cancel other plans to be with him—unless he’s got a private jet waiting to fly you to Paris for dinner.
Step 6: Refrain from sex
Hold off sex for as long as you can stand it. Nothing torpedoes a romance faster than inhaling someone’s morning breath or having to stay awake listening to them snore before you really know and love—or at least like—them.
Step 7: Book the minister
Book the minister. He’s hooked!
Fifty-seven percent of men say they change their sheets “for the first time in ages” before a first date.

What if both play hard to get? Someone has to take the first move, make the first phone call, ask the other out ...

This is a good thing to do... If your trying to date a wussy. Im a man myself and If you do this you wont get anywhere. If you want to date Wussies than go ahead but if you want a real man than (I know this sounds old fashioned but) be yourself. trust me, you cant do anything to make yourself more attractive to a ma.n you can only make the wussies beg at your feet

Wow. The person(s) that created thsi video simply know nothing about men. You'll notice that at around 1:15 in the video, the voice over mentions that you shouldn't admit ";...that you haven't had a date in years";. Trust me on this: if you play this stupid game as recommended, it's continue to be years before you get another date. I know what I'm talking about here.
