What's with the games?
For those of us out there in the dating game, we're all after only one of two things: love & romance, or just a bit of fun. If it's the latter you're after, it's normally made pretty clear to the other party. Why, then, if it is not a bit of fun that you're after, if everyone is after essentially the same thing, why do some find it acceptable to play games? I'm not talking about trying to not look 'too keen', but the whole "yeh, let's do this again, I'll call you"...and then the call never comes. If they never intended on calling, why say that they would? Is it just because they don't have the guts to potentially hurt someone or let someone down to their face?
I'm not just talking about guys here, but girls do it as well. As a single woman I've had guys promise to call or message or 'be in touch' and then I've never heard from them on more than one occasion, and my older brother has had similar experiences - except he actually does call the girl, only for them to not answer the phone/voicemails or ever reply to texts (after all indications were that she wanted to see him again).
It is simply infuriating when it happens again and again. It's just rude! I know chivalry is all but dead (in most circumstances) but have good old manners gone out the window as well? How can people find pleasure in leading others on and then subsequently making them miserable? Or is it that by some twisted logic, these people have been scorned in the past and feel that they have the right to take it out on the rest of the population of the opposite sex?
Games aren't fun, and I can't see one single possible reason for them. Just be honest and upfront with your dates, and then maybe dating in the 21st Century wouldn't be so hard!
