Hide and seek effect

When a girl/ boy tells you that they’ve had a crush on you in the past to deceive you into believing they don’t like you, when In reality they do. They name comes from the fact that sometimes when playing hide and seek the hider will go back to the same place with the logic they won’t expect me to go back again

Girl:” I used to like you like a year ago”
Boy:”really, cool”
Boys friend:” man she used the hide and seek effect”
