| Description | In this chapter, I look at the evidence suggesting that liking is reciprocal - that we like those who like us. I show that attraction is indeed reciprocal, but that there may be limits to reciprocity. I examine the ways in which romantic interest is communicated in offline and online contexts and how interactions are initiated offline through chat-up lines and online through direct messages. The chapter also considers why reciprocal self-disclosure is important to relationship formation, particularly in presenting the 'true self' to others, and looks at ways in which intimacy can be short-circuited through reciprocal exchanges. Finally, this chapter presents evidence that playing hard-to-get is unlikely to spark attraction and instead suggests that playing selectively-hard-to-get may be a better tactic.
