The truth is, no one knows how to finesse boys. In order to finesse, you need to know what they want and I would rather get hit by a bus than try to figure that one out. So, my advice is do the best you can and just tell them what they want, because they don't even know. Of course you could be honest, sweet, and open about feelings but where is the fun in that??
1. First rule of finessing, don't give in. Keep the chase going. The guys will wonder why you don't want them and will step up their game. Make them work, work, work.
2. Be occupied. Do not make yourself available to them all the time. Make them sweat and act like you are sparing them a little bit of time.
3. Don't tell him about your feelings. Make him break first. Guys just assume we are some pool of emotions over here, so if you drop him off in the deep end he will be sure to break. Make them want you more.
4. Keep the future in the future. We don't want to hear about plans 3 weeks into the month, because that requires you still being interested.
5. Do NOT come up with pet names. No bae, babe, sweetie - we will have none of that.
6. Let him worry. Hangout with other guys even if they are just friends. If he sees that he has competition, it will put him in a panic.
7. Be confident. Walk in the room like everyone will notice you. Accept compliments, but don't boast.
8. Always laugh at their jokes, even if it isn't funny. It will give him a glimmer of hope that you might be falling for him.
9. Ignore the calls. Don't feel obligated to answer the first text or call. Leave him hanging for a little bit.
10. Have fun. Be able to let loose and be yourself. You don't need to just play the game, something good might actually come out of it.
Keep in mind, people catch feelings. The chase is fun but don't be out to play games. On the other note, go ahead with ya bad self girl. You are not an option - you are the only choice. Don't let some guy treat you like he can replace you.
