I fucking hate the concept behind that adage, however I have unfortunately found it to be sad but true - the girls who I go days without replying to because I'm not particularly interested seem to cling on for dear life - meanwhile of the girls who I am really interested in and spend time planning responses and trying to respond promptly...well most end up ghosting before we've even had a date.

Anyway this isn't meant to be about me, I'm interested in your experiences - do you deliberately distance yourself or act busy and aloof?

Most importantly where do you draw a line between being tantalizing and just being a rude prick in a way that gets you nowhere?
