Freezing People out will make them chase you.

I want to take a moment to discuss the importance of freezing out a person. When I say freezing out, I mean ignoring them more the less. Freezing out a person is a very powerful tool to get someone to seek after your approval more. In a sense it makes them attracted to you. Everyone hates being ignored, but instead of getting over it, people tend  to chase after them more.

I want to use text messaging for an example. If someone texts you and you do not reply back, they will feel avoided. People try to look past this though and think of other reasons why the person didn’t reply back. This will enable them to send out more texts to try and grab their interest in hopes they might reply back. The same rule applys for phone calls.

Freezing out can also be used when in person. Imagine what would happen if you ignored someone that is attracted to you already or someone that you are close to. They will try to get your attention somehow or at least want to try since some people are shy and do not have that ability to be outgoing. The point is that their is that feeling to go after them whether they act on it or not.

Try to keep from falling into the freeze out trap yourselves though. Everyone will want to, but refraining from it will at least give you your sense of pride back and will keep you from giving all your power to that person. Power is earned and to give it away means you are giving away your pride.
