The Cat String Theory

  

  • If you drop a piece of string on a cat's head, it ignores it. If you dangle the string just out of reach and pull it away, the cat will attack it obsessively. Humans are the same.

HOW TO DO IT :

  • You must dangle your validation, and pull it away right when they reach for it.
  • 1- The Dangle: Have a deep, amazing 2-hour conversation with them. Make them feel special.
  • 2- The Pull: Right at the absolute peak of the conversation, abruptly end it. 'I actually have to run, I've got a busy day tomorrow. It was cool talking to you.'
  • 3- The Result: Do not text them the next day.

WHY IT WORKS :

  • You gave them the string, and snatched it away before they got bored. They will spend the next 48 hours chasing you to get that 'high' back.
