Weimarlady: I wish someone would play a game with me....
I too used to take all this quite seriously, until I realized that you just have to put your rubber gloves on, take a shovel and DIG. You're going to be talking to a lot of people, some very interesting and even potentially compatible, but UNTIL you've at least met in person, you CANNOT (must not! for your own sake) take anyone too seriously on the internet. Once you realize that, you're pretty game-proof, really. You're only going to feel "hurt" when you allow yourself to have too many hopes and expectations, build castles in the air etc. BEFORE anything particular has actually materialized with that person. Do build them, but don't put any particular person into them. And, if someone turns you down - be GLAD, not sorry!! It only means one thing - this was NOT the right person for you. (no matter how beautiful they were or how cool their profile sounded)
I dunno, I've had LOTS of phone talks (well, mostly Skype talks) with people on here, very nice people too, and none of them played games...

I didn't send any money; I booked a ticket. After spending months, writing and talking on skype; hell, this portret even let me speak to his kids.
Naive, yes... and extremely stupid for believing his words to be true and him true to his words.
I still believe it's not wrong to help someone; you just have to pick somebody worthy and that's the hard part
Oh, I learned my lesson... don't worry, I will not be taken for a ride again; Belgian government has taken over

Aren't we all playing games here? Some play fairly others don't. Some don't even know they are playing until they lose. Some don't know the rule and others don't care about the rules.
Game playing is part of dating. We tap dance around each other until we learn to dance together.

xpeejayx: why waste my time
people come on here pretending they want a relationship or to meet people ,but nobody wants to meet in person or call on the phone
all they want to do is chat on here
I thought we were all grown ups here
I guess not!

I know exactly how you feel. What these people, men and women alike, don't realize is that they tend to place uncertainties and mistrust in our minds. And when we meet them we are cautious and feel insecure of their actions, and when we find out the truth about them, we end up being hurt and humiliated by them. I feel sorry for them because on the long run, they are the ones that lose, they are the losers, because they lose someone that could have been a great person in their lives.

I'm sorry but I'm not playing any games here. I joined this site because I'm looking for someone to date or maybe more, but never thought that someone was going to use my time and dedication for his head games, and I don't believe that playing games is part of any dating, not in a hurtful way, anyways. I like to participate in the forums and blogs because that is part of this site and it is fun..but seriously, I'm searching for someone honest, truthful, respectful, and caring...not someone who wants to play with my feelings.

I have met some people from CS in person.
Others just on the phone, or eg skpye voice.
See what you can learn from the people you have described, and maybe there are red flags you missed?
All the best. Many decent people here.

Hi BJ. Perhaps "courting rituals" or similar, might be a more suitable term? Game playing conjures up unhealthy and unwanted behaviour in the dating scene. JMO.

There are unfortunately lots of game players here but also offline as well. Do not take it personally. If these guys are playing these head games, do you really want them in your life? Just know that you can do better and don't let them get to you. You deserve better.

you have to skirt around each other and sus the other person out to find out how cheeky you can be,i mean me actuallybut dating is a game at the start ,everyone asks their pals for advice on how to play the game if its hard to figure out what the other person thinks
