“I’ll always wonder what time it is there; if you’re dreaming, or awake. My moon is your sun; my darkness, your light.
I’m in the future, you’d jokingly say.
And I know where you are, because I’m watching you from the past.”
― Coco J. Ginger
No, we aren’t talking about those silly games. Nobody’s playing ‘hard to get’ here. However, inevitably the phrase sticks on because people find it difficult to break through a ‘tough exterior.’ Don’t throw away the garb, girl. Not just yet. Remember that the best games are those that amp up the thrill all the way to the top. You shall not give up on being you just because some people content themselves with being the ones that contend you tossed’em away. And you know the truth- they didn’t have it in’em to go all in and understand why you wear that armour.
Sometimes, being hard to get proves to be a good thing- because you find those willing to make the effort to get to know you, inside out. And those are the ones worth finding and keeping, right? On other occasions, it may prove wise to prune some of the difficulties these ‘good souls’ might encounter on the way- and you can only do that if you know why you are so hard to get in the first place. We can help you find answers, your zodiac gave us clues:

You are an adventure-lover and your spirit is so fiercely energetic that you need much more than just the normal cliché dating rounds before you fall for someone. It takes way more than dinner and drinks to get you hooked onto someone. You crave fun and seek thrill in every aspect of life and your motto is, “Why stop for this then!”
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You are so genial, kind and affectionate to everyone that no matter how hard people try, it’s going to be next to impossible to make you feel more compassionate towards them. It will take a hell lot of effort on their part to build a relationship with you on a more emotionally intimate level then you have with others.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your cheerful, chirpy and vibrant self is bound to win hearts and it always does. But very few people own the patience to know your inner, deeper and darker side- the side that’s always hidden from the world in which you’re always surrounded by friends. It takes a very particular person to gauge your not-so-bubbly side and still want to protect the vulnerable-you.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You have a great insight into people’s minds and their working. Your instinct and hunch is so fierce and strong that no person would ever succeed in creating an impact on you if they’re merely playing games on you or if they’re not being their own selves. So, it is going to be really tough to win over your intuitions.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

You also enjoy spending time with yourself making it all the more difficult for people to get a hold on you.

You let your past experience overshadow your present, thus letting it interfere with and tangle your present decisions. You seem to trust a lot in previous relationships; so if you’ve been hurt before, you might end up making a wrong choice based on that past which holds no value in the present. Due to trust issues, it’s also hard for you to relax, open up and talk freely and frankly.
If you, too, have felt misconstrued because people write you off as ‘hard to get,’ wait it out, coz the right person would let you know that every bit of the effort was worth it!
