    Being upfront and straighforward in the dating world is really ineffective and boring. Of course lies and manipulations isn’t what i meant, but a little bit of mystery and suspense won’t harm the dates.” Playing around the bush” is a good way to establish relationships and build trust gradually , instead of saying your intentions bluntly.

      I see, your definitely looking to settle for a partner and you have no tolerance for games. In that case, you choose your dates meticulously, you try to direct the relationship into achieving the goal of “marriage” in contrast to playing around and having fun. If you feel a guy is playing and isn’t clear about his intentions, go ahead and reveal your intentions to him and tell him what you actually want. Best of luck !

      I don't want to get married Injust want a normal and serene relationship. I won't expose myself to a guy who hasn't been clear. I am confused and naive but not dumb.

      I understand. Choose your guys wisely. There’re definitely some guys who value their relationships and are sincere and serene with their partners like you said but they are really rare and hard to find.

    They can't tell girls when they just want sex. They have to go the circuitous route, quite often. But there are also quite a few girls who also want that too now.

    Girls are not upfront about what they want either. They might not waffle as much on what their end goal is (often, a relationship) but they take their time deciding whether they want the guy or not. Guys wait, and wonder, and get friend-zoned.

    Neither side's got it easy.

      Ok then. I'll speak your language, now that I know what it is, blunt.

      They can't tell you straight up what they want because you will either:
      1. Get pissed and call them a dog when they say they want straight up sex and nothing more from you.
      2. Get spooked and tell them it's too much pressure on you when they want a relationship.
      3. Dick punch them in the heart by not reciprocating the feelings.

      Your replies back to people are all about one guy.

      Speaking of honesty... ("Nope because I am clear and honest.") You're lying about your age ("Yeah but we both are in our 30's... they play game is more for teens and young adults...") so don't pretend that you, and all girls, are straight shooters. Not even close.

    Girls don't either, so this is a biased question. Intentions aren't always known right away, but girls refuse to believe that.

    Guys will date down for a quick hookup, but they usually don't settle like that when it comes to commitment time. If that's what you mean by 'playing around', your odds are better if you date lateral instead of up.

      But that's auto sabotage. If the guy is not giving clear signs the girl would think he is not interested she will give up and of course he will lose the chance🤦🏻‍♀️

      Oh I thought you were referring to guys who are interested in sex but hide their true intentions by pretending they want more.

      If you mean guys who have true feelings for a girl but keep them hidden then it's usually insecurity/fear of rejection.

      Good for you. You are atypical. Women, in general, are far more likely than men to not be upfront with their intentions and things they are thinking. Thus, my comment about irony.

      It can be that too ma'am. I'm sure you are aware there's probably multiple factors that play into a man's confidence in how he carries himself. I will say it's a fear of something going bad or so. Or if they're playing the casual dating route/don't want to commit, then you probably want to avoid that. But the decision is yours

      As mentioned, there's a lot of variables. I'm not sure what intentions he has with you (because I never met the guy). What kind of intuition (s) are you getting from him? If you feel like he's a player and here you are looking for something like a committed relationship, you probably want to steer clear of him.

      Doing weird things? Like engaging in illegal activity or he acts funny kind in front of you? I don't think you mentioned in your original post that you indicated an interest in him. If you're not interested, I will say to not pursue it further. However if you are, it's up to you to take a chance on him.
