why is it that we feel the need to play games with someone where interested in? come on everyone does it or has done it at some point.
why is it not just real simple? instead of the whole playing hard to get, three day rule etc etc...
what makes us do it? :confused:


well you want to sit down and talk over a game of monopoly :biggrin:

What's even DUMBER is leaving it x amount of days to call back, when you're out of your mind with wanting to call back because you don't want to "look interested" - uh, you ARE interested, otherwise you wouldn't have to keep stopping yourself every ten minutes.
[ooh, look! a mini rant!]


WE do it becuase it does not make us look too keen. Guys in general, do not want to be percieved as too keen/desperite. It is not good. Besides, from experience all girls prefer to play the game as it gives them a challenge on getting a guy who is "hard to get".

meh, games are stupid...i've made a point of never bothering with games/never bothering with people who play games...and i've got a wonderful girlfriend who i love. so yeah, games bad.

my bloody ex told me to start playing hard to get (before we were going out) i got pissed off didnt speak to her for a while, thus inadvertenly playing the game; they just mess with your heads.

As has been said; if you like/love/are interested fecking say so!

well, you've experienced some pretty sucky girls then, because I don't like playing games.

If I am interested and I'm in a situation where I can get things moving, I'm not going to sit and wait three days because it's the "rules"

If a guy liked me, and I knew he had my number and was going to call, I'd go through "three days" of worrying whether he's going to call/whether he lied/whether I wasn't good enough. Why bother.


Yeah your right, I have experienced some "sucky" girls. I am glad that you are not like them. I've just found that with girls (many of my male mates share the same view), the more nicer you are with them, the more they tend to take you as a person for granted. Again, thats probably because of the girls I have/they have met. Hence, the reason why you find that many girls are attracted to guys with some attitude.

I am exactly like you, if a girl says that she is going to call or whatever, I go through the same anxiety as you. I am going through that same anxiety right now at the moment. :frown:

Generally, I quite like to know if a guy likes me. From past experience, I assume that if they act uninterested, they ARE uninterested, and therefore move on accordingly. Being stalkily obsessive and being interested and letting us know are different levels.

Don't tend to play games, you miss half the fun of the relationship if you're still wokring out what the other person is thinking!

don't - they're probably just as anxious as you because they're following "the rules" :p:


Yeah your right, I have more important things in my life at the moment to attend to (like working my way into university) - then to get all anxious over a phone call lol :smile: But I really like her!

Yeah, it would be ideal if people just acted a set way. However it is annoying, when one minuite someone acts uninterested, then the next acts interested :frown: Ohh the mixed messages are horrid...

Indeed. Which is why I vow to stay clear of anything which does not have a Y chromosome.

I think Girls dont intend to.. but they WILL all eventually turn the boys into feeling like cr.ap :eek:

I wish i was one of those boys who just didnt care. Its not so i can act cool and uninterested, its so WHEN it turns horribly wrong.. I just WOULDNT care.
