Another expression for hacerse de rogar is play hard to get (usually in the context of relationships).
If a person plays hard to get he or she pretends not to be interested, to make the other person try harder.

No, it doesn't work. It doesn't even make sense.
No te hagas de rogar. = Don't make us beg you. And it also means what María José suggested: Don't play hard to get. |
