I'm not talking about clear disinterest in you, but I'm referring to the situations when the IOIs are there, the chemistry and the responsiveness is good but the girl, for whatever reason, is playing hard to get.

I am asking this because I'm curious, not because I need a personal advice. It may seem from the responses to various questions that a lot of the people around here walk away at the first sign of resistance. But is it really true? In my mind this would make sense if everyone here was an alpha who spun plates on all their fingers and toes and another one on their nose, but let's be serious... that's just not the case.

Edit: that's all cool that you can quote Tomassi and that you know your theory, but my question is whether you practice what you preach.
