Play hard to get to connect while dating online, study says

February 14, 2011 (CHICAGO)

A psychological study on women concluded that men on dating sites who kept women guessing about just how interested they really were were more likely to have the women interested in them.

Psychologists say in the case of 'attraction uncertainty,' people find themselves thinking about someone. But rather than recognize it's because of the uncertainty, they assume it is because they must be attracted to the person.

The study in Psychological Science only studied women, but authors say they believe the results would be the same in men.
