Loss, what loss? Don't make me laugh. Lol.
You know this is like a 5-6 year old thread, right? Lol.

[quote=cpg35223;20641203]This is what is known as "game playing." And the problem with game playing is that it assumes that both parties know there's a game to begin with to play, and that they're both interested in playing it.

When will people learn to simply act on their desires?


Fear of rejection, maybe?

I think acting aloof works more for guys, cause if I am not into a girl as much and act aloof, she often tries harder to get me interested... where if a girl does it to me, I automatically think she is not interested and move on. So maybe women respond to aloof, more positively than men?

She has to like you a little already in the first place. It's true, but not a healthy way to start a relationship. I'm attracted to guys who are good to me too, and I'd rather date them. Once I finally get the aloof guy, I lose interest. Or he can keep acting aloof, and I won't be happy and move on eventually. You're better off being yourself.

If she was shy, she wasn't ACTING like anything.

Do you play so many mind games you have to project on others?

Mind games are neverending.

Do women really do that? I never really noticed... Or cared.

Yeah, for me, acting aloof has pretty much never worked, lol.

Acting aloof only potentially works if the woman is already into you. If not, no amount of aloofness will matter.

A porblem? Man, those are rough to deal with. Problems on steroids

It seems to me that you each stubborned out on one another. Each thinking that the other should make the first move. It happens.
