Use these secrets to make your Sagittarius man love you (they work like magic) →

Hot & Cold

If a Sagittarius man is hot and cold all the time, he’s likely playing hard to get.

Sagittarius men are straightforward for the most part. When they are interested in someone, they are typically upfront about it.

A Sagittarius man playing hot and cold might be upfront about some things and confusing about others.

A Sagittarius man might spend an hour flirting with you at a party then completely ignore you the rest of the time. He will stay up all night chatting with you then ghost you for a week straight.

Your Sagittarius man may also start to open up to you and then suddenly withdraw from you. He wants to pique your interest, but he doesn’t want to reveal everything about himself all at once.

Your Sagittarius man still wants you to know he’s interested, even if he’s playing hard to get. He will send you sweet messages and flirt with you when he sees you. Once he knows he’s got you hooked, he’ll pull back.

Ignores Texts

It can be hard to tell if a Sagittarius man is playing hard to get. If he’s ignoring your texts, he might be playing with you. He might also be busy.

If a Sagittarius man is not communicating with you suddenly after intimacy, he might be playing hard to get. He doesn’t want you to think he’s too interested.

A Sagittarius man will ensure that you know he’s ignoring your texts. He’ll read your messages and make sure that you get a read notification, but he won’t reply to them.

It might be a good idea to give him some space if your Sagittarius man ignores texts but is not giving any other signs he’s playing hard to get.

Giving a Sagittarius man space when he needs to be alone will show him you care about him.

This magic will make your Sagittarius man want a relationship with you. →

Goes Out Without You

A Sagittarius man might be testing you if he makes a point of letting you know whenever he goes somewhere without you.

It’s normal to go places with other people. Your Sagittarius man won’t take you everywhere if he’s not playing hard to get. He might point out how often he goes places without you if he’s playing with you, though.

Your Sagittarius man will text you photos when he’s at your favorite nightclub. He will send you pictures if he goes on a trip to your favorite city.

He will also bring up his excursions whenever he talks to you. If your Sagittarius man went to a restaurant you like on a date with someone else, he’ll tell you all about it.

Sagittarius men do this to make the object of their affections jealous. He wants you to be jealous that he’s spending time without you at all your favorite places.

Multiple Partners

If you’re in a casual relationship with a Sagittarius man, you likely aren’t his only partner.

Sagittarius men have no problem seeing multiple people. Most of them won’t lie and promise to be exclusive unless they intend on being exclusive with you, though.

Your Sagittarius man might play hard to get by using his multiple partners as a tactic.

If a Sagittarius man thinks you’ve been ignoring him too much, he might point out that one of his other partners is more attentive.

He might blow you off for one of his other partners as well. A Sagittarius man will have no problem making sure you know his attention is elsewhere if he’s playing with you.

A Sagittarius man won’t want to seem too available if he’s playing hard to get. He’ll make sure you know that he has other people in his life.

Is your Sagittarius man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Sagittarius back in. →

Takes Control

Sagittarius men like to be in control of everything for the most part. When they are in a relationship, though, they will be willing to give up some of that control.

If a Sagittarius man is playing hard to get, he might cling to that control even harder.

He won’t want you to think that he’s willing to give up any amount of freedom for you. He wants to make sure that you know how highly independent he is.

Many Sagittarius men will play hard to get as a way of maintaining control too. They like feeling like they are free to do whatever they want, even if they are pursuing a particular person.

If you want to beat a Sagittarius man at his own game, don’t give up control to him. Take control of the situation whenever you can.

Flirty

A Sagittarius man will still flirt with you when he’s playing hard to get. He wants to make sure you know he’s interested, after all.

Sagittarius men know that they have to draw you in before playing any games. There’s no sense in playing hard to get with someone who has no interest in you, after all.

Your Sagittarius man will send you flirty messages to get your attention. He will flirt with you at parties or when he sees you out in public.

Even if a Sagittarius man just wants to be friends, he may still flirt with you. Sagittarius men are natural flirts.

It’s something they enjoy doing. Be careful when using flirting as a sign of interest from a Sagittarius man.

If he’s playing hard to get, he will flirt with other people in front of you as well. He wants to make sure you know he’s got other options.

This one weird trick is the only way to attract a Sagittarius man. →

Unpredictable

Sagittarius men are unpredictable at the best of times. Keep this in mind if you think your Sagittarius man is playing hard to get.

A Sagittarius man will not keep a strict routine with you even if he’s not playing around. Don’t think he’s messing with you just because he doesn’t always text back or call you at the same time each day.

If he’s free as a bird some weeks and busy every hour of the day the next, that doesn’t mean he’s playing hard to get. It just means he’s busier some weeks than others.

You won’t be able to predict a Sagittarius man’s behavior. He may become even more unpredictable when he is playing hard to get.

Just when you start to think you’ve figured him out, a Sagittarius man will pull the rug out from beneath you. If a Sagittarius man is playing hard to get, he doesn’t want you to get too comfortable.

He’ll Ghost You

A Sagittarius man might ghost you if he’s playing hard to get. He may do this just to see how you react.

If you play things cool and don’t get angry with him for ignoring you, that will make him even more interested in you. When he’s playing hard to get, it’s often a good idea to play it back.

If he ghosts you for long periods of time and never does anything to show he likes you, that’s a sign a Sagittarius man is not interested in you. He’s not playing hard to get if he actively avoids you.

He might withdraw from you if a Sagittarius man is confused in love as well. If he’s not sure about his feelings for you, he might need some space to sort them out.
