january2011 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I prefer the latter + flirting. Banter is good. I don't think it discredits both parties, nor does it hinder the development of a healthy relationship. Lying and playing head games does though.
NoMoreJerks Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 A bit of chasing can be fun, but not head games. I dont like being chased a lot. It tends to drive me away. I like a good balance between him chasing me and me chasing him, if that makes sense.
Imported Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Very few people go out intending to "play games". Most people do like to protect their own ego though. You think they're playing games, but really they're just trying to keep from being the fool or maybe they just don't like you.

Head games are for trivia nights.While you are thinking of the answers on how to play the game you become more concerned with the game than actually just enjoying someones company and letting it happen naturally......if you are attracted to someone flirting can be natural and playful..if you genuinely like that person you get excited just to spend time with them..put a game tag on that and it becomes a chore.......a competition.....whole different set of rules and expectations......hope is not put in being mutually satisfied......and having a great time....but hope put in one winning the challenge.....deb mean what you say and say what you mean.....number one its not the game its how you play and if you walk away with a smile on your face......win or lose you enjoyed time with that person.......number two
orionboxing Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Definitely the direct route. Games just suck. There is nothing worse when a girl doesn't return a phone call or a text. I leave one voice mail and one text. If they return neither...IT'S OVER. There is not a girl I know that doesn't practically carry their phone everywhere and at all times. Keep in mind that I've returned every phone call and every text from girls I WASN'T interested in. I had girl write this long email looking for answers from me, and I actually wrote back a long response. So...no games for me! 1
