i've never played hard to get. i'm extremely shy but when it comes to a man i want i come right and say it. but sometimes i think i come on a little too strong so i've toned it down a little-fear of rejection redface

Yeah i can be too. But then, i think for me, its because my self esteem, when it comes to my looks, is low. Also, as iam a bit loopy, i think girls are messing with me when they ask me out. Girls seem to go out with me because iam different, so it has its plus signs. But iam bad at picking upon obvious stuff too.

It's true. I can tell you many stories from my past of hints and hints that I never knew were there until either something happened, or until I realized days or months later that those were hints.


I just don't get it. I know so many guys that say this. Does it have something to do with low self esteem? Are you guys thinking, "Naw, she's not really into me, she just can't be into me, she doesn't really mean what she is saying/doing"?


It may be self-esteem or just basic shyness. I never had a girlfriend during my teens and didn't have my first kiss until I was 19. Now, I don't think I was that ugly so why is that? I was never asked out, as far as I know, and I don't recall any girl ever really being interested in me. As far as I know, that is. So did I miss some signs or was I giving off a certain vibe that made women pass me by? Or was I just so shy that I didn't register on anyone's radar?

hmmm

Ok, this makes sense. I guess I never really realized just how many people are so shy!

Mind games and needless posturing are silly and pointless, and can muck up a potentially wonderful thing.

That dance at the beginning of a new relationship can be especially marvelous, however.

The trouble is some don't understand the difference between dancing and game-playing.

I am a real genuine person who does not to pretend to be something I am not- when I feel something for someone I say it or express it to them.
Why play games and waste someone else's time. Seems so immature to me. If you do not like someone tell them, if you like someone tell them.
I do not get why people play games with their emotions..

I think it has a lot to do with building up tension and actually falling more and more for this person. A certain amount of "games" (as in "mating games") is ALWAYS required when two people are genuinely attracted to each other as personalities, and as individuals. Also, it's a good way to get to know the other person a bit better when you hook up again, and get to see how they'll react to certain hints at conversations. I'm not talking about torturing the other person on intention, but just normal uncertainity is enough... oh forget it, just torture me on intention. I so want it!

This is exactly what we think.

And for a reason, I believe. It's easy to misinterpret some people's intentions (it's happened before) and some women flirt and hint at guys even if they were already in a relationship themselves, or just about entering one. Many men have had really bad experiences, where their self-esteems really have been hammered into bits. Most women just enjoy men being attracted to them and they won't say "no" until the guy really makes the definitive move. That's the function they serve, boosting up their self-esteem.

Then they'll get to choose the guy with the bigger car and a more muscular upper body. smile

I'm not one to play games, but I have often noticed that when I start to pull away from someone I'm dating or in a relationship with, that's when they come back even stronger. It's happened to me several times. I still like to think I'm genuine with people. I don't think I've ever done it intentionally. But it's been proven to 'work' over and over. shrug
