How can a man tell if a woman is playing hard to get ? I thought that played out in the 80's... met a young lady a few weeks ago and thought everything was going well. but i had to initiate everything , everytime. from dates to a simple phone call . so i ASSumed she wasn't really interested. and I backed off. now she's pissed!! she said she was only playing hard to get. STUUUPID!!! I am so tired of meeting women that play these games . where are aa the real women ?
I personaly do not believe in playing silly games like that. Although its best not to be too clingy also playing hard to get is not my thing. I am an open and honest person and if I am interested in someone and I know the feeling is mutual then I will also initiate. It takes two in a relationship. Not one sided.
I don't know what else to really tell you but to not give up hope and be patient. There are actualy really good women out there who don't believe in childish mind games.
well i'm gonna have to disagree with you sweetheart . I'm not that kind of guy . I am friendly to ALL women . All races , shapes,size and ages . I respect and treat all women as equals. I just don't like the games that SOME women play .
Everything should just flow...the moment you feel like you have to play these games just to see how the other is feeling than the relationship is going to fail. I stand by the fact that when two people truly like each other through and through you know that feeling when you like somebody and you get butterflys in your tummy..when both are mutually feeling this way or however the feeling works for you then the games simply don't exist ...just all the fun, cutsy love games but unfortunately its hard to come by..its usually one is feeling it more than the other...at least this is what I have found.
I agree totally yet some times it takes a little time to feel that way . i wasn't in love with her i thought she was cool and we did have fun when we went out . oh well .

I gave a general response to your very open to "any answer" question...which was..."where are all the good women".. it was not a personal attack as I did not addressed the rest of your post...only the question....you ask...now don't get all worked up...
Best thing a woman can do is 'run away'. If a guy is really interested, he'll pursue.
It puts him in the position of having to make a decision of whether or not he's really interested in her. If he thinks that 'she's not worth the trouble' then he won't bother (which will save her the dispointment of being with a guy who felt he was 'compromising' by being with her til someone he likes more comes along, etc.) Better for her if she knows whether or not he's 'bothered' about her at the beggining of the relationship (or even before!) than for her to find out later, after so much emotional investment and time have been wasted.
This is why it's definately worth her while to be challenging, not difficult, but challenging. (Is she worth the challenge?)
She should continue running, right through the relationship...all her life...through the marriage...right to the grave when she's 125!
And the guy will be happy that he's been with someone who was worth pursuing...from the first day he met her to the end of his days: he'll be so thankful that he was with someone who was such a 'grand pursuit'...that near-unobtainable woman...unique...unlike any other...
at least that's what my gal-palz Ellen & Sherrie tell me...
