A guy not returning your phone calls – does this mean he’s just busy or he’s playing hard to get? Men are used to chasing but when the tables are turned and women get to have a dose of their own medicine, how should they cope?

Don’t give in.

Test his resolve by making him wait for your phone call instead of the other way around. So you feel like he’s been ignoring you for the past few days? Don’t worry. If he’s really attracted to you, he won’t be able to resist the urge to get in touch.

Send him a short, text message.

If you just want to test whether you still have a chance with him, try texting him. His response would pretty much sum up what you’re expecting as an answer. If he responds immediately, then it only means that he’s very much interested. If he wouldn’t even bother texting back, then you know what that means!

Show him that you’re busy.

Wouldn’t it baffle him if he sees you going out with your girl friends on the same night that he went out to watch a movie with his buddies? This would make him think that you’re living your life and that his hard-to-get scheme isn’t working at all.

Play his game.

When he wouldn’t call, don’t spend the day waiting. Instead, spend your time on things that are worthwhile. And when he finally calls you, let his first phone call go straight to your voicemail machine. This should drive him crazy!

He’s the Ice Prince so talk your way to his heart.

A guy who’s playing hard to get may appear like a cold, detached being. Don’t be fooled. If you’re really interested in him, play the role of the great detective. So, he won’t talk? Then it’s time to fish out the details without appearing too nosey. For him to pay attention, you must be an intelligent conversationalist.

Never appear too eager.

Show him that you’re just a bit interested in him. Let him see also that you still talk with other men, and are actually enjoying other people’s company.

Analyze his flirting signals.

If a guy won’t get in touch with you or would appear uninterested, it’s time to take a look at his more subtle signals. Does he often look your way? Or does he touch you more often than necessary? If so, he’s quite interested and it’s up to you to use your feminine powers to snag him for good!
