I think so. It's good advice regardless of whether you're trying to attract someone or not: know what you're attracted to, be a good listener, have your own interests and don't focus on someone else to fulfill you.
It just happens to mimic the "games" most people play of acting interested and then backing off so they can chase you. Actually, what's probably happening is that the "games" are a way to mimic how you'd act if you're living a healthy life.
The difference is that by being healthy, you're not purposely trying to manipulate someone (which I personally find reprehensible).
