“But why do I have to play all these games? Why can’t I just be who I am! It’s ridiculous to have to strategize every single move I make.’ Yes, this is true. Game playing can seem immature or even silly. It’s not that you need to play games to get the guy, it’s that you need to be a certain kind of girl. If you aren’t that kind of girl, fake it until you make it. If a girl is confident, loves her life, and respects herself, she will never need to play a single game. She won’t pretend she doesn’t have time for a guy who doesn’t prioritize her; she will inherently busy herself with other things and move past him.”
