Being indifferent to some degree can work. For example, I've seen many cases where one guy is trying to win a girl's approval or throwing some routine at her and I just stand back and maybe make a couple of comments only. Then at some point, she will start trying to make convo with me. Even if she doesn't, I'll look at something on her or her palm and go OMG no way and slightly turn and walk a few steps away. This usually gets her to chase me. In another case, a really *****y girl worked across the hall from my store. All the kiss kissed her bum constantely. I always ignored her more or less and talked to other girls. I always made sure she saw me talking to, walking with, having fun and laughing with other girls. She tried numerous times to tool me, like saying "Im in front of you" when I was in line somewhere even though she was off talking to someone, lots of diff. things but I instead of bowing to her line cutting actually got another girl to let me even higher up in the line. As far as she could tell, all the women in the mall kissed my bum the way the guys kissed hers. Eventually, she started trying to get rapport with me.
Just being indifferent alone can just make you look boring though. I mean assuming you aren't in possession of massively good looks, interesting style, or something that might interest her.. if you just sit like a bump on a log, then she's probably just going to think you're boring or socially unsavy. I create an illusion that I am the most interesting person she could possibly meet. I show her that other girls want me. I create an excuse for her to chase me, like O MY GOD NO WAY and then positioning myself away from her. Women will sometimes chase me now because I dress like a cool guy, but that's usually not enough. Maybe 1 in 10-15 hotties will chase me based on looks/dress, if I want more than that I'll likely have to use some bait.
