Rule #6: If you feel like you are being played, you probably are!

~Agent Anthony DiNozzo NCIS~

Why do people play games? 

Why are people being ‘played’? 

Why can’t we all just be honest?

     I for one have absolutely no idea how to play games.  I suck at them and I hate them.  They are not real to me so they make me feel uncomfortable.  And I know from experience, when I am uncomfortable…well, let’s just say, it’s not a pretty sight.

     I don’t want to have to wait a certain amount of time before responding to someone.  Nor do I want to wait a certain amount of time before I hear from him.  Whoever made up the three-day rule should be shot…ok, that’s a little extreme.  But really,  what’s the point?  All it does is make me question whether or not the guy was ever into me in the first place and then when he does call, I have to wait another couple of days to call him back.  Buuuut, then I can’t accept a date after Wednesday.  Gah, it’s all so freaking structured and not in a good way.  There’s no room for movement if you want to follow the game-playing rules.

     What’s wrong with just being interested in someone and not wasting  the 6-10 days to find out if there is any reason to continue talking?  This makes more sense to me.  Don’t play games and you might actually find someone you like or you will be able to fit in more that you don’t really like 🙂

     I get that men are natural born hunters and that a deer that just stands in front of them is not a challenge, well I’m not a deer and I don’t really care to be shot!  I know myself, the challenge is not in getting me, the challenge is in keeping me. 

     I think we all need to step up. 

Guys: If you are interested, call a girl! 

Girls: Don’t scare a guy away by ‘pretending’ you are a bitch!
