push-pull

A technique used by people who are flirting or trying to get to know someone. Pushing is when you compliment or give a nice comment on someone, pulling is when you are cold and maybe a little mean. The ideal strategy is to push a little and pull a little. This avoids you from being too cold and scaring people off and avoids you from being too weird and passionate.

This technique is good as people will want to get to know you more if you aren't pestering/being a dick to them.
