Well, it's not literally this:
hard to get = desirable

Rather, it's this:

hard to get = not needy
hard to get = exciting danger thrill
hard to get = mysterious
hard to get = she won't have to get too close and reveal herself
hard to get = she won't be pursued or hunted down (maybe she has been)

and any of those are desirable.

Does that make sense? I still agree the overall pattern is stupid. My husband and I are both so clingy others would find it odd, but it works for us. Hard to find people who are not typical, though.
