Girl Playing Mind Games?

[georger123]

I’ve had 6 dates with a girl. From the beginning she’s been taking hours and hours to respond and I always have to initiate. The dates go well, but drunkenly she told me “she likes responding to me after 4/5 hours so I don’t think I’ve got her”. So I started playing her game back with her. And now it’s been 2 days none of us have text each other.

I guess the “relationship” is now dead? And I should just move on?

I would move on because am not one to play games. If I want to talk, I’ll talk and if I don’t I don’t, it’s as simple as that without over complicating the situation with all that “I’ll wait hours to respond so he doesn’t think he’s got me” bs. Then he’s taking hours to respond and before you know it we’re hardly talking out of fear of being vulnerable or looking a certain way. It’s exhausting.

She’s still a rookie. She’s playing hard to get but the trick is in actually being hard to get by nature.

Can you expand more? What shall I do?

[MzAsh]

Well let me ask you this, for this situation to be ideal for you, what would have to happen?

[georger123]

Well I want her to pay more attention to me and be more attached/clingy. And show that she cares! I'm thinking to just ignore/ghost her and see what happens.

[MzAsh]

It’s a red flag that you want her to be more clingy. Clingy women might stroke your ego at first, but you’ll grow to hate her for it. If you ghost her, her options are likely greater than yours so you’ll just lose her to someone else at this point. If you want her to pay more attention to you, then you have to get better than the competition.

if you're 43 years old and still behaving like a beta loser that's entirely your fault.

[devilish-cutie]

she doesn't seem ready for a commited relationship, move on

[Mlalz]

Don't move on, give her her space n just wait for her to text you back.

[georger123]

She is playing games though. Maybe she is actually not interested.
