hard to get 

When a boy flirts with a girl, but the girl pretends to be uninterested in the boy to make the boy try harder to get the girl to like him. In most cases, it doesn't work and the boy gives up and tries to find someone less conceited and arrogant than the girl.
Sarah: Mike was like totally flirting with me last night and he's like so cute but I played hard to get and like pretended that I totally didn't care because he has to work for it you know?

Mike: So I tried letting Sarah know that I was interested in her, but she didn't seem to care so I gave up and hooked up with Jessica instead.

Playing hard to get 

Some women play hard to get with a guy even when she doesn't find him attractive nor has any romantic interest in him. She just likes to be chased and passionately desired because it's like a power trip for her. Then, when she gets bored she just cuts him off, especially if she's an extremely attractive women who's aware of her own extreme attractiveness. Women like that have lots of options and usually get what they want, and it seems no matter how much you protest, no matter how cruel her actions are, she doesn't feel one ounce of sympathy because she has a legion of other guys that will drool over her and do her bidding. That's why it's so important not to immediately fall for women like that. I know it's difficult to resist a beautiful woman - very difficult, but you just have to precondition yourself to do it. Admire her beauty for a while, but if you sense that she's...that kind of girl, just move on.
Don't be anybody's fool, that's what I say. So, the whole playing hard to get thing is often not cute. For guys looking for something serious, it's potentially a waste of time.

Law School Hard-To-Get 

Commonly Known Phrase:

Girls who were moderate to huge sluts in undergrad trying to pretend that they are innocent and tease boys in Law School by playing the hard-to-get game.

These girls can range from age 22-28 and are usually single for obvious reasons, either due to: (a) the fact that they are shithoused at most/all parties and devoid for any emotional stability ;(b) either have a lot of friends and love being the center of attention (or) have few friends due to being a crazy shit talking whore and love being the center of attention ;(c) pretend to be classy/ never admit they were previous (still secret) sloots who probably have a freak nasty case of chlamydia or HPV, or worse the incurable Herp ;(4) are most likely in the bottom half of their law school class ;(5) definitely isn't the best looking girl in your class, but is "cute" and "passable" and "seems like she has a great (although fake sometimes, but you will not realize this oftentimes until it is too late) personality" and ;(g) attempt to start over "fresh" and "classy" but their inner-whore comes out eventually, you cannot cage a hungry tiger.

Law School Men Heed This Warning!
Can be used as an action verb in appropriate circumstances: "I thought she was really into me, but turns out that girl was law school hard-to-getting me!"

As a noun:

"She loves playing law school hard-to-get, but I do not have time for that hell hole of crazy."

"That girl is playing law school hard-to-get, but I have law school exams that are easier than her."

As a descriptive noun:

In first semester of law school-
" Damn, that girl is so law school hard-to-get."

End of first year of law school-
"I am so glad that girl was law school hard-to-get, that bitch is a cave troll!"

"Maggie" was a huge slut in undergrad and had all of the boys chasing her, now she is in law school and wants the boys to think she is classy and refined, so she is super flirtatious and gets many guys to like her, but never chooses one to date. The weak and desperate ones fall for the trap thinking they have found true love, but alas!, she's just another common slut.

Ladies, quit playing games with my heart.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
