Why do people play games with a person thats interested in them?

I have been wondering the exact same thing. You want to and can give that person what they really want in a relationship, they know you are interested in them, but they play mind games with that person. Anon if you find the answer to that, please let me know because I have been wondering that myself. Why do they play games when they can be happy for once in their life.

They don't want to be happy lol

[Confucious900]

I dont know. THey clearly are stopping themselves to be happy for once. I even considered they are just scared to be with someone that can finally make them happy because they dont know what it is to be loved. It is unknown to them.

True. Or they think they are out of our league but will keep us as a backburner I have no clue

Evidently they wanna sabotage things before they even start. Then find out that the only people they get are people who play games or are a pushover. Because they chase people off who are genuinely interested in them.

Depends on the people involved and whether the game is playful (mutual consent) or toxic (mind f*ing).

Are you sure they are playing games?

Sometimes when 1st party thinks the 2nd party is playing games, the 2nd party has no clue what the 1st party is talking about!

In that instance, I'd call it a misunderstanding rather than playing games.

In my case I was unsure the girl likes me fully

[Asker]

Why not just ask her if she likes you?

[Asker]

It could all be so simple

[Opinion Owner]

Cause I'm not sure if she's with someone

[Asker]

Why not just ask

[Opinion Owner]

I think there was other guys involved so am looking for a better girl

[Asker]

Crazy. She's coming to you even with other men after her. Sorry for your loss

[Asker]

Awkward? That's it? All because they are awkward? What does that do for them
