StarbrightSB Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Ok, after reading another post that lead onto playing games in the beginning of the relatinship, i have to wonder. Why do people play games? What benifit is it to everyone? If your interested, why not just say so insted of potentially comlicating things? Do most people think dating games are necessary or not?
kellyp1 Posted January 19, 2006 Posted January 19, 2006 Playing games suck but I am in another dating scenario like that again. I even had my friend say to me today, why do you keep finding the people that play games? I told her, the older I get, the more the only ones that are single are the game players. I usually fight the game and end up being the one who gets burned. But at the end of the day, I can go to bed knowing that I didn't do anything against what I believed. Sometimes, that is the only consolation you get for not playing the game. The game players, I think, enjoy the thrill of the conquest and the attention playing the game gets them.
realeve20 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Well some people love to play games when it comes to dating, friendship and long term relationships etc. On the other hand I do not like to play games nor do I care for individuals who play games; especially mind games, because they have a scheme in the back of there mind. I think if a girl or boy is going to be serious with you he or she should be honest and up front with there social strategy, if they are really interested in you. May be you should look some where else for a serious growing relationship. God bless you.
Weye Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Of course the world would be a much happier place if people were always honest and open, and never played games. That being said, a guy who does not "play" right can expect to get burnt. For example, if a guy calls a girl right after getting her number, what's usually going to happen? He's going to be seen as "needy" and probably get ditched. Thats what happened in thread that prompted this discussion. Better off waiting a few days before calling to keep her guessing. Its just one example of the many "games" that get played in the dataing scene. I've heard it said before that girls play games whether they recognize it or not. I found this to be all-too-true. Girls universally agree that they are tired of the games, and are looking for someone who will just be themselves, but most will still only go for a guy who plays their games right. Now I'm not saying that ALL girls play games. I just think they are few and far between. Whenever I do meet a girl whose above all that game playing crap, I am VERY impressed.
realeve20 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 hi I wish that when I man or woman decides to call him or her could give a time to pickup up the phone and call. There are some men and women that do give a time and a day to call and least say something like you call me in a day or two, night
realeve20 Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 hi yess it is true that some women play games as wellbecause I have did this to a few men ; where I could I just said I am not interested or I will call you when I am ready.Giving a time to reach a person by phone should be done more frequently; but some people don't do it at all unfortunately . I know this because Hi Weye: I wish a some people would give a clue whether to call to day or during the weekend and what time to reach them! most definitely I will not call a guy early in the morning unless we have a serious . Yesrelationship
cal gal Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I think when people play games it is misleading and unproductive. Life seems so much simpler if anyone in a relationship (whether it is a date, family member or friend) is just honest and upfront about their feelings and expectations. I don't understand why people think it is productive or honest to play games.... it is just a waste of time and energy! IMHO
