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.

Para mí eso sería "hacerse el/la interesante". ¿Para ustedes no?

Oye, ¿se te está yendo la vista?

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.
