Grandepensees: Yeah, ignore the 'bad' ones and talk to the nice ones

Simple as that. And don't take anything personal, people tend to not be themselves online.

YouMeUs: I've had my share of being the target of head games. More than I ever cared to have.

thewall2: You also have to understand that from a womans perspective,when A WOMAN ISN'T INTERESTED IN a guy and you're communicating with her,she might just say she likes you because she doesn't want to hurt your feelings.

I don't know,I could be wrong,and sometimes when a woman really likes a guy,she won't fess up to it out of shyness or for whatever reason,not all,but some.

I'm just sayin'

loverboy690: sorry don't do gardening or whinning

solsticemoon: hey hunni..stop whining..go get ur gardening gloves on n do a little weeding

YouMeUs: Sounds like you're wanting a woman who's already "sewn her wild oats" so to say...or never had any to sew?

There are some women who've played the field of head-games, realized where it's gotten them and changed their ways--becoming more real and wanting a genuine game-free relationship. Those, I would give a second chance to...but it may be harder to accept them at first and for a short while until they've proven themselves. That may sound a bit selfish, but isn't head-games a form of selfishness all in itself?
And head-games are definitely a cause of so many red flags a waving. I suppose it's better than waving the white one, by far.

caspatch: some kid around a lot in threads and may be your friend but don't read something into it.. i have friends here i kid with but that is it we are friends and we mail back and forth but that is it, maybe you are taking friendship the wrong way, jmo

bestat45: i am not a big fan of game playing. i can be a little too blunt in my efforts not to play games, but, at least a person is able to know where i stand.
there are people out there that are honest; you just haven't run into the right person yet. "keep your chin up". ignore the rest.

thewall2: That's a valid point,and when a guy or girls is ready to stop playing games,sometimes they'll come back,and we'll still be here.

rubendario: Perhaps it's because I never go beyond the platonic level and until someone can prove to me they are worth the friendship that can last a life time, I keep it that way. There are no expectations and it's just communication. Games? I don't play games, so if they are playing, they are playing with themselves.
And when they see that I don't play...they simply go away!!

Perhaps your expectations are set to high?

thewall2: BECAUSE women get a sick,phsycologicol, kick out of bringing up a guys hopes....

bestat45: because unfortuaneately there are some people who just like to play games, and have not got the ability to be honest.

thewall2: It sounds to me what you are trying to say ,in short,is ....''Don'T F.UCK with my feelings!!''

Maybe I'm wrong.

Either way,nobody likes to have their emotions played with.

caspatch: try 20 years but i wasn't looking then , there are a lot of beautiful women here inside and out and they don't play the games they are looking for mr. right and are seeing the same thing you are.. you find bad apples in every barrel , but i still love apple rie

rubendario: "guys is there really any good women left?"

Judging from the very small percentage that I communicate with and in comparison to all those online, around me in real life(on a platonic basis of course), my guess is, that there are millions of them everywhere!!

friends4now: you can do whatever you want

Polarbutterfly: Silly?Wow.

YouMeUs: That's why I suggested to hang in there. It does get tiresome, especially when you notice the clock keeps ticking and you're showing little to no advancement in the direction in which you seek.

I've been single and have not been on any real dates in over 5 years now. But I've come to realize that stressing over wanting someone, to love, to be loved by them, tends to pull in the direction of "trying too hard" to get what you want. So I've learned to lower my expectations of finding a good woman. Also, as a side-effect of that train of thought, I'm very rarely ever bored anymore. Find contentment and happiness within yourself, it'll attract others, and then sorting through them will be a lot easier on you.
