Dating Game: Want to be Wanted? Become Scarce

Some of the best advice offered to women is to learn what drives men. Men are basically hunters and gatherers that cherish the chase before capturing the prey. Knowledgeable women know how to keep the man she wants in the race by not letting him capture her "too soon". The old adage of "A man chases a woman until she catches him," works. Don't always be available but show him how enjoyable your life is. He'll ache to be part of you and your fabulous life.
The good news is that it also works for men. That's the basic reason many women like "bad boys". They're cool, unpredictable, not always available and there's a hint of danger. You don't have to be a bad boy to learn from them. Learn the "Scarcity" rule. After a few good dates you become a wanted commodity. Once you're there, keep your status by becoming scarce. Not always available. When she calls, tell her you're busy even if you're not. Timing is everything. If you're too aloof, she'll think either you have another girlfriend or you are losing interest in her. It's like creating demand, similar to the way it's done in the video gaming business. Keep the demand going by limiting the supply. It's available but not always, sometimes you have to wait. The novelty will wear off but you've learned how to date someone on a regular loving basis.
