Not at all. I've seen a lot of people suggesting "don't be allways available" or things like that. I find it all very... artificial, probably that will atract the wrong people. 

Granted, nobody wants someone that is 100% available, that is lame and booring. If you actually have a life, filled with interesting things going on that you enjoy then you won't be 100% available all the time and not because you are trying to be mysterious, it will be just because you have a life of your own and that can be a source of interesting topics to share. A genuine one.

Mysterious can be a little bit of fun but soon (at least for me) is quite annoying, I like when people is open and transparent, honest and genuine people. If they want to do something they say "yes", if they are not available but they want, they explain it exactly like that.

I remember a girl who I dated a while ago that allways shared what she thought, simple stuff like "hey, I had a great time, lets repeat it soon" she didn't repress that attempting to be more mysterious or playing some sort of game. That is something really valuable for my perspective. 

People are mysterious enough as we are, ypu never finish to know someone, not even yourself. That's all the mystery needed IMO 🤔🧉🫡
