It doesn't seem to happen much anymore but it did last night: I found myself attracted to a man. I was doing the whole gazing longingly across the room thing for most of the night. When we finally got around to being face to face, I told him I liked his shirt. And then asked where he got it. Yeah, killer intro. You know what I did next? It's dumb. I went into what I call Hyper-sensitive Ignoring.
Hyper-sensitive ignoring is all about acting like he's not there but only paying attention to him: everything he laughs at, the way he stands, and who he's looking at. It really tests my ability to carry out superficial conversations, something I admit I'm really bad at. Apparently when I'm focusing all my energy on a man, I can fake a conversation with other girls pretty well.
I don't enter into Hyper-sensitive Ignoring on purpose. It just happens. I don't think it's an effective means to catch a fella, either. The way I see it I don't know how he feels about me but I have already admitted to myself I like him and I don't want anyone to know what I'm really thinking. What if I'm outted!
My question: Is this playing hard to get? Do you play hard to get? Does it work?
