Obstinance_Works: If you get something too easy then you don't respect it, if you don't respect it then the love dies for man or woman.(agreed with this)
However, because men are more transparent and shallow then playing hard to get is, contrary to popular wisdom, LESS effective on men. A man's commitment is much more closely binded to what a woman looks like than how she actually behaves, whereas a woman is attracted to a man because of how he behaves and far less to do with what he looks like. (disagreed because like I said in another thread, some of them dumped many pretty easy girls and settled to average good manners ones)
Obstinance_Works: Very, very basically playing hard to get - which is a form of emotional manipulation(though I'd say love and seduction are themselves emotional manipulation) - works best on the gender that is the most emotional. Woman.
Now the reason why women play hard to get more effectively and more often than men is not because men are more susceptible to it, but because most men are hopeless at seduction and useless with emotions. But, the minority of ladyslaying who know seduction and do know emotion are far more lethal than anything womanhood has to offer. The male of the species is more deadly than the female.
I tend to nail them with my personality and honesty if its possible to be honest with them.
Scott1812: Like i say it depends on the ofence there are many way to hurt someone!Some you can forgive and some you can`t!
Scott, what about the situation when you can't trust a person again how would you treat a person who tell you 'she love you and do exactly the opposite' ?

A Bridge to Hawaii Share on facebookShare on twitterShare on emailShare on printMore Sharing Services A biker was riding along the beach when suddenly the sky formed clouds above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "You have been very faithful to me, so I will grant you one wish."
Stunned and confused, the biker pulled over, looked up, and said, "Build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want!"
The Lord replied, "Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the ocean! The amount of concrete and steel it would take to build! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."
The biker sat and thought about it for a long time. Finally he looked up and said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly, truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
I've wondered myself how someone can shut off love like a light switch. And I think it isn't that they shut it off. I think some people are in love with the "idea" of being in love, and confuse the initial flutterings of infatuation for love.
Hi Kaybee, hope you are well. I think you are right and that is 100% what she did. My feelings have not changed so no way can we be friends

SPS0913: You are circumventing the issue here. Because as I said IF they're lying while explaining their reasons how are you going to understand that? How are you going to understand their reason when their reason is a lie in the first place? Also there are different thresholds of lying. Lying when you're 5 years old about something is on a different plain then lying to someone when you're an adult and hurt them in the process. IE they say they aren't married or dating someone else when in fact they are.
I'm circumventing the issue? Hardly. I am just sticking to the question asked in the opening post. Would you go back to someone who hurt you? Fact is people hurt each other all the time. It depends on what they did and what their reasons were.
