yes talk to them about anything. with us guys its easy to start a conversation about the most random things. unlike women we arent really stuck up. its so hard to get women, that when one actually finds interest in u, u dont want to screw anything up.

Get closer than you normally would, joke with them, tell them they’re cute/hot/sexy/whatever. Touching is good, too. Brush their hair out of their eyes, playfully shove them when appropriate… use your imagination.

Hints don’t work, so don’t waste your time trying to drop them. And mind games are a surefire way to make guys leave you, so steer clear of them, too.

I’ve ended relationships over it before. It’s not attractive at all. Mind games imply jealosy/distrust and a manipulative nature. Guys hate that.

Telling a guy to do something, when you really want him to do something else, just to see if he does what you really want instead. That sort of thing. None of them make any sense when you think about them, but women pull them all the time for some reason.

basically all you need to do is yes chat to a lad, always act as if your not interested, be confident believe you are the best and yes everyone dose want you and soon enough they will, dont try to be funny or try to complement. what drives a lad crazy is when a girl flirts but plays hard to get. its easy to do if you try.

were not that clueless you flirt we will pick up on it, its pretty much if we don’t want to we wont, but if you act like your the best then people will automatically think you are.

but you gota remember there is a fine line between confident and arrogant

Okay, here’s where it gets complicated. Sorry, Matt, but I have to dissagree. See, I can’t stand it when girls act like they’re not interested when they really are, and then get pissed off when they’re still single three weeks later. To me, that’s just another mind game. It’s deception, no matter how you justify it. And even if it works, if you start a relationship on deception, it’s not likely to go well.

well, its hard to explain, you can joke around and be confident and actually inside your really not, but those who say the confident things not in a joking way thats arogance.

sorry Xeno Dragon

but what your discribing is what you want not what works… these girls play mind games with you and so you think about them all the time and thats what they want…. its just if your a nice gall if yuo like a guy play around but dont use him if you do which is what im shore Xeno Dragon has been through and yes me to thats what makes you as bad as everyone else and not deserving….

and yeah the little things count make shore you always smell good and look nice

and after awhile you have learn to discern whether some guys are worth going after or if they will just hurt you

and the game becomes less chance

flirting is a way to get to know other people
there might be issues if you start flirting with some ones who dating
but generally i think flirting is good
makes the people feel better more confident
it can brighten a day

Well, at least this time, I got a reason for the accusation. No worries, it’s no big deal.

Matt, I was just pointing out that people have to be careful when they decide to play games. A lot of guys will avoid anyone who plays them, and I happen to be one of those guys.

I see it like this. Let’s say 50% of guys like mind games, and 50% don’t. Now, by playing mind games, you’ll please half the guys you meet, and run off the other half, and that’s the best possibility in that situation. But, by not playing the mind games, you have a shot with all 100%. Why cut your chances in half?

maybe we should just go through the sponsored links at the bottom of the page

there is “Flirting Tips For Guys”
and so on and so forth

some guys like being screwed with
maybe by having the mind games present it makes it all that much more impressive to be dating that person
also it could be some manifestation of some kind of primal hunting urges
