Any ex players out there who stopped playing when the right girl came around? OR out of al honesty is the saying true, once a player, allways a player??

Maybe what a lot of us females consider "playing" is the guys version of "dating" and fishing around for the right one???

Give me your expert advice!

I think when a man or woman is tired of playing that they will eventually hang up their hat when they find the right one. In essence, I guess we all are players in a sense that we won't settle until we find the right one. I know of a man that was a playboy back in the day but he's older now and finally decided to get it together.

seen it happen with a buddy of mine, but it wasn't so much that he was a player, he just dated girls that didn't have self respect and he didn't show them respect and he did whatever he wanted

now he's with a girl who didn't take his **** and he's probably going to end up marrying her



in reality, most people don't change

"Player" has different definitions, so I'm not sure what you mean, but the "bad boy with a heart of gold, tamed by his love of the right woman" theme is the plot for about every romance novel there is.

Did your buddy change though??

I can see the girls with no self respect before me as well... I am also the girl who won't put up with any crap.... and I overheard him tell his sister he wants to marry me..

I also overheard him tell the ex flings he is a "dad now"...made me roflma... and when my sixyear old went up and interupted her trying to talk to him, my guy said "yes mybeautiful son" right in front of her....lmao...

All the sighs say he is changed, but I just don't understand why a guy who has young floozies throwing themselves at him non stop, would pick me.... I am a tad baffled....

You have to be secure in yourself. Obviously he sees something special in you. Embrace that. If he is telling people he is a dad now, telling his sister he wants to marry you then the man is serious. I know this feeling and just be happy about it.

Yeah, he told me I am the one, and he knows he could never be with anyone else again now....

I was kinda embarrassed when I saw what he was like before me... tried to break up with him quite a few times because I was a bit ashamed...

But he won't seem to let me go. He has his whole family and all of his friends making me stick around, no matter how many times I have tried to bail now.

I am actually starting to trust this.... weird for me.

You gotta ask yourself why you want to bail...are you scared??? Think about it. He is obviously in to you!
