Why Needing Her Less Makes Her Want You More — The Science of Strategic Indifference
You showed genuine interest. You were attentive, caring, available. You did everything "right"—and she lost attraction faster than water through a sieve.
Meanwhile, that guy who barely texts back, cancels plans, and treats her like an afterthought? She's obsessed with him. Can't stop thinking about him. Would do anything to win him over.
