But he is not chasing you.

How was he on your date?

He was a OK. Good conversation, told me he wanted to get together for a long time. Asking how is everything.  Kissing me. Walked me to my car. Mentioned let's do this again. Everything was good except when he mentioned we should watch a movie together and checking out his place.

Ok let's say he is a player so why not continue leading me on? Instead he left me on Liked message.

Absolutely. A gentleman will text/call his date after the evening to make sure she made home ok and to thank her. Same with next day.

BUT his attitude on the date cancelled all that.

That was NOT me dear who said that.  I never felt good about this guy, I thought him coming back and chasing/pursuing you AFTER you rejected him was suspect, remember?

To me, it all sounds (and sounded) like a big freakin game.

For your sake, I would love to prove myself wrong about this, I hope I am!

That I hate.

I find this so condescending from a man you had 2 dates with.

Try being referred to as "love" followed up with a snap of him in a canoe with no shirt on.

I can't help you with that. At 25 you may have time to waste doing that, I'm too old to even think misleading someone for revenge. My time is too precious

Thank you Poppy. Yes I remember what you said. Ugh I seem to be attracting players or this is what dating is like nowadays.  Not sure

I can't help you there Brit.  There's just too much damn advice out there - for both men and women, and that advice clashes.

The roles are no longer defined and people are floundering around trying to figure out what to do.  What "works"?

So they follow these "rules" but the problem is the rules (games) that might work on some women, don't work for others and vice versa.

In retrospect, I played the game too in some respects, and paid the price for it.  

And guess what?  I am alone now, so what does THAT tell ya?

Maybe the answer is to simply be real and genuine.  If a guy runs from that, or gets turned off, let him.

Or if you sense he's insecure and you REALLY like him, meet him halfway even if it is a game.

I mean isn't it all a game in some form or fashion?

I don't know anymore either Brit.

It seems to be too far gone for the most part.  Men have their rules and now women have their rules and it's like a standoff at the OK Corral, back in the wild western times.

The key is finding a man or woman who doesn't care about a set of rules and ditching your own rules.  Don't know if that's realistic though.

So very true.  I have never been one to follow the "standard" rules circulating out there, I have always made my own rules, thinking this was good!  I play by my own rules.

Problem is they are still rules, it was still me playing the "game"!  Ugh.

I thought it was necessary but it still didn't protect me, so what the hell do I know?  lol

Anyway, not for me to worry about, since I have chosen to not date for awhile and focus on school and ME!

Just a shot in the dark, but probably makes her feel sexy, desirable.

I like that he texted immediately after our dates telling me he had a good time and wants to see me again. I also liked our conversations.

So why are you staying connected when you're frustrated with him?   Why not date one of the other guys who makes you feel sexy?

Big meh...

He did not answer right away for next weekend because he was waiting to hear from another date pending.

He's offering the following week, no mid-week date, he's not eager to see you. 

I would not pursue.

Hell yes I'm not going to chase him. I'm ignoring his message. Wont reply back. But to be fair I told him I'm not available this week until the weekend hence he didnt mention mid week.

Yes, it's refreshing when people demonstrate common courtesy and the delight that comes with pleasant conversation.
