blipper2000: what do you mean?
any examples?

Yes, when a man tells you he is really interested in you and wants to meet you. You then say of course and he changes his mind or he just stands you up. Do you not think that a game?

blipper2000: you have to skirt around each other and sus the other person out to find out how cheeky you can be,i mean me actually
but 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

Call me stupid. But I prefer to ask the man.
Anyone who asks their pals on how to 'play the game' of dating, is probably not a good candidate for a serious relationship.JMO

I guess we all look at dating differently. I beleive in being direct with the person and they should be with me. Other than that, its just wasting my time that could be better spent elsewhere.

Of course its rude, but to some people it is just a game; all in good fun to them. So, you do one to two things, you shut yourself down and stop dating, or you risk that chance again. Not a lot of options. I just realize that the person wasn't worth the effort in the first place and certainly don't beat myself up over it. That unfortunately is life.

why beat yourself up ,youve just gotta keep trying,do you give a guy your number before you meet?

It's a bit scary to give out personal information such as phone number, etc... to people you haven't actually "met" yet. The bad apples have kind of spoiled it for the good guys, you know. I don't know just how frequent it is now, but surely you've all heard the freaky stories that have happened in the computer age. Yes, we're all 'adults' here, but trust is hard won, and rightfully and reasonably so. I now write (with my real address) to a man I met (different singles club on the internet) and have come to really really like him. It's awkward to want to be so outgoing, loving, friendly, but so many negative things have happened to people. I guess we all have to have some guts, but I certainly fully validate anyone who is timid. What are we gonna do? side comment--Happy New Year to all my contacts, friends on CS. It is always really wonderfully cool to talk with you, and hear from you--really, really mean that. Dru, Ali, robert, bettieboop, so many others...love you big! I'm SERIOUS!

blipper2000: why beat yourself up ,youve just gotta keep trying,do you give a guy your number before you meet?
I give out my cell number not my home phone. Yes, I agree you have to keep trying but I have learned not to get my expectations up. When a guy says he will meet for coffee, I sure hope he does show up but if he doesn't I don't sweat it anymore. These are the games these guys like to play. I realize it is only a few bad apples but it happens far to frequently. I am not ready to give up, but certainly am a whole lot more cautious.

I was simply commenting on your post and the wording you used. Yes, of-course dating can be broadly described as a game, that is the first date, early days...the courting rituals are in place just as in the animal kingdom.
No, I never ask for advice from my g/f's about a man. How the heck would they know? A friend might lend a listening ear, even pass comment, but that is all.
Oh, BTW, I have gone on some dates without makeup, naturally not at anything fancy.
With One of my photos on CS, I have no makeup whatsoever, not even light dusting of powder.------ This thread is Archived ------

No you are not annoying me at all. After all its just a discussion about our personal experiences. Yes I always call or have him call me before we meet; then doesn't show up. I call to find out why, but he won't answer. I always thought that maybe he found someone else more attractive after he made the date with me but didn't respect me enough to break it. Who knows why they do this?

Game playing is part of dating. We tap dance around each other until we learn to dance together.
Why does it have to be a game? We are not teenagers and dating at our age should not be a game. We are at the age that we should know what we are looking for. I don't think its a game when you are playing with someone's emotions; that is down right cruel.
