The purpose of it is to give yourself uninterrupted time and space to let your head and heart heal from a painful situation. It is not meant to 'win' someone back. If they don't want you, no amount of manipulation or gameplaying is going to work.

That said, does it work? If you are doing it for yourself and your benefit, then yes it does work. Slowly, but it works. You will get over the painful situation and it is easier when the person is no longer in your life in any way.

If you are doing it to manipulate someone into doing what you want, it rarely does. It will only work in that case if the person still wants you in their life, and would be willing to fight to have you.
