I wouldn’t act or pretend to be hard to get. Playing games is never a good idea. Nothing good ever comes of it. Some women have these misconceptions that men like “hard to get” women. Not seriously inclined men who aren’t into games. They don’t want to waste their time. Men need to know if women are interested. So I’d act natural such as very willing to meet. I just would let guy initiate first date especially if there is a concern that he isn’t interested.
