How To Play Hard To Get And Why You Shouldn't
chicagonow.com

I never understood the girls who waited exactly seven minutes to answer a text. I don't comprehend the girls who tell a date they're too busy meanwhile they're watching TV. I never understood why avoiding someone at a party or waiting them to approach you first was acceptable.

I don't play hard to get.

I'm not saying I'm easy or that I play into someone's hand, but I certainly don't make myself a task for some guy. I'm not ever going to avoid a "hey" for a half hour for whatever reason some girls have. If my phone is with me, I'll answer in the same minute without shame. If it isn't then I'm sorry, its gonna be awhile but as soon as I have my phone I'll be sending a text back. I'm the girl that will give you the time of day if you give me yours. I don't play games.

Playing hard to get just shows me that you're not mature enough to have a relationship. No honest person is pretending that they can't go to dinner. Since when is "being too available" a bad thing?

Since when is having free time you're wiling to share not okay? I'm okay with spending the night with someone and when they ask when they can see me next, saying the next night. If I'm free, I will make plans. I will not lie about being busy to make you want me more or some backwards logic.

Ladies, please tell me why you're scared to approach someone at the bar or party? If you see someone you want to talk to and they haven't noticed you yet, go over and say "hello!" I will not be the girl holding her phone and her drink in the corner texting her friends that "he" is here and "hasn't had the nerve to come over to me".

Personally, I think playing hard to get is way more effort than it's worth and being yourself will be the most desirable way to get romantic affection. So, get out there girls!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
