To play games or not to play games while dating?
I am 31. I don't agree with playing games... but I have learned that men like the chase and women like to be pursued. But since I dont' like to play games.. I tend to just give a relationship my all (sometimes too much I think, cause when it is done, I gave that person too much for a thing that turned out temporary). People say 'dont' be too available' or 'don't chase him' or 'dont' be too ineterested'.... this is all game play. So what to do... play the game or not?

I agree with you on not playing games. I feel as though if you play games while you're dating, then what is it going to turn into when you get married? It's as though you're not being your own person and the man that falls in love with that may get a shocking surprise when you get married.
However, as much as I don't like to play them, sometimes I do. (GASP!!!!) One of the two games I use most often are when I won't answer my phone when they call and I'll be sure to call them in a couple hours or perhaps a couple of days. My last one (which I tend to hold out on) is when my significant other is flirting with another person or just constantly talking about them. Then I make a point of going up to another person who's cuter and start flirting with them.
Hope that helps. It's not all about the game. =] It's about about what's in your heart. <3

I agree that guys like the chase, but once a guy lets you know that he's interested, women should show their interest too. I think "pursuit" falls in the area of not making a nuisance of yourself. Like calling him all the time, finding out where he hangs out...stuff like that. It's really all a game, but there is a time when men and women should quit and try honesty.

Remember it requires 'two' to make a strong relationship. Be sincere but try to behave in a moderate way otherwise the other person will get teased or will start taking you for-granted. You deserve a sincere person like you so be patient to find one. Do not waste your feelings and time for the wrong persons.You do not need to play games if you don't want.Just be yourself and wait for Mr.Right.best of luck.

I don't think all guys like chasing women. I'm older than you and I don't believe in playing games. Its seems you're more mature than guys you want to date. I agree with what you're saying. I don't know what being "too available" means, it sounds dumb to me.

never mind the game, just go out to have fun. And if they don't like it then they are not the one for you.
You shouldn't have to change who you are just because of what the rest of society does.

Don't play games....just be yourself, when the right guy comes along it'll work.

Make yourself a challenge and let him know this is not a game, it's for real.
