My player did commit ;)
But it didn't happen overnight. We got to know each other little by little.
When you know he's a player, it's better to keep your defenses up every step of the way until you know for sure that his intentions are good.
It took him seven months to tell me he loved me, but when he did it was amazing :) because no girl before me had that chance. He had flowers, gifts and macarons in hand (sometimes when players commit they can become incredibly romantic).
But okay just to be clear, this doesn't happen all the time. I wanted nothing to do with him at first because of that. The best chance you've got is: be yourself, stand up for yourself, point out what you won't tolerate when it's needed, keep your distances until you're sure he's not playing with you, and DON'T dive head first into a relationship with him.
And and most importantly, be ready to leave without looking back if he's not 100% honest with you.
Players are used to having girls following them around, be the exception.20 Reply

ain't nobody got time for that! I wanted commitment and so I looked for someone else who did too I haven't got the patience for "players" or "bad boys" and I refuse to try to change anyone because I know it's not worth my time and effort. Took me until I was 18 to get my first boyfriend because I knew what I wanted and wasn't willing to put up with any games, I wanted someone mature, who also shares my morals and values (mainly feminism) and I found him 8 months ago and it's been conflict free bliss ever since! I doubt most players will be players forever but they need to come to that realization on their own, so let them make their mistakes without dragging you along for the ride! If you run into them sometimes down the road and they have changed on their own then go for it just be cautious.

+1 yI've had it happen to me but i'm not sure if it he just wanted what he couldn't have. This guy who was known to be a player tried dating me and I kept rejecting him and ignoring him and not acknowledging his presence. He chased after me for 3 years before he finally finished college. My friends who were really good friends with his friends told me he was completely depressed that i wouldn't date him and that he was in love with me.
Who knows man. He was a huge player before me that's for sure.14 Reply- +1 y
Basically the only way i have found to get a player to fall for you is if you act uninterested or ARE uninterested. So basically you guys can never be together... once he has you he won't want you.

+1 yJust because a person is "very attractive" and lots of girls like him doesn't make him a player. Players are mainly the guys who are messing with the girls emotions, leading them on, hooking up with them and then going off with other girls.
In your situation, simply being attractive and having lots of girls after him still leave you with a chance, but you'll have to be worth it.
If he's an actual player and you try to change him, prepare to get used. That's all. Trying to change him just puts you in a position to get hurt and if you're the type of girl that is into changing a guy, you'll just get bored of him if he does change. But what mostly happens is you just get used for sex and left disappointed.80 Reply
+1 ySome people do actually change however I would hazard a guess and so most don't. I usually just make it a rule of thumb not to date people like that

I've (unfortunately) been called or implied to be a player more than a few times so maybe I can offer a little insight. In my case I'm not ready for a long term marriage-like relationship yet. I'm still learning and experimenting until I figure things out. I don't hide this from people I'm with. That isn't to say that something couldn't develop from that it just isn't the right timing.
I think it depends more on the people involved and the timing rather than them necessarily being a player, assuming of course I'm even one.10 ReplyHaving oeople after you doesn't mean you're playing them. You probably have had more thsn one guy after you without even kniwing it. Also being nice diesnt Jean you click with him.
If you guys get along and are attracted to each other and he's intersted in a rekationship there's a possibility whether others are after him ir not.
However if he's chasing them bc he likes to chase then he'll get bored even if he agreed to committing. Some oeopke just like running they don't want to sit down and watch the scenery. Others dont get off the couch unkess they have to.
The ones you don't want are the ones who pretend to be what they are not just to get what they want.
Nothing wrong with wanting a commitment or not wanting a commitment... It's when you lie about what you want to the other person IS. given false information and is therefore making uninformed decisions... That's when it's wring. Everything else is just different strokes.10 Reply
+1 yYou probably need a fair bit to bring to the table.
I know of this guy in real life who is super good looking and survives doing modeling and extras for TV work. He has no qualifications. This bloke has lawyers, doctors, heirs of top businessmen etc running after him. The woman who bagged him was a doctor from a very wealthy family who was 2 years older than him. I know her personally - she's slightly average in looks, very intelligent, kind, and well off. Prior to them getting serious, I know of several really hot women who dated him and were expecting something serious, even though he ade it clear to them that they're just friends (FWB) and didn't want anything serious.10 ReplyIt actually depends how the person wants in the long run. Some players will just want to hook up with many women but eventually when they meet the right person, they' commit. And some will not. If you're looking for a long term relationship or even a future in general with them, and they're still wanting to only hook up, then you should just move. I don't know your exact situation though. If you're not sure, you can always talk them and hear them out. Just don't try and convince them or pursuance them if they're not looking to commit. Only they can make that change
20 ReplyLook at it this way: how many players do you see out there in their 50s? Fewer than players in their 40s? And are they fewer than the number of players in their 30s or 20s? If so, either it means that players are eventually committing, or they're all dying in tragic bus accidents!

+1 yThey do but you have to pay a price. You have to be beautiful not like the most beautiful but standard beauty not ashaming to be with in public. Dress super nice and be a good conversationalist.. not a ball-buster but a sweet funny and low-voice toned girl.. Players are not looking for the best but someone to settle down with with no stress.. Presidents are the most powerful people in a country but they don't have the prettiest wives do they? Cheating and looking elsewhere has a lot to do with than the guy. Its in the nature of all male animals to be polygamous but humans being humans differ in that they can manipulate nature based on circumstances. So its your job to create the circumstences

+1 ySo many good responses here because this can probably go so many different ways, even though a player is a player every person isn't the same. If we know a player wants to play with your emotions and get into your pants, the best way to avoid that is make him prove he's done playing. Dont have sex with someone you have these doubts about. If he's worth it, he will stick around, and not just long enough to get some. a player wants conquests. If he (or she!) can't conquer you, they will either leave, prove that they can't be trusted, or prove that theyre in it for the long haul. Anything less proves they dont deserve you. And yes, being attractive, single, and not ready to settle down, is different than just being a player. Its about your honesty with people in my opinion
10 ReplyI know some that settle down and those that want to settle down in their late 30's. It's their plan. The irony is that they are so good with women by then, they can get the girl they want and settle. I suggest every man take a few years to be a player.
10 Reply
+1 yNah. Player's don't even have to be super attractive, may just be charming. But it's not really a matter of any of that. It's honestly just a matter of preference. I personally don't like commitment, it's boring to me. But my mind may change when I'm older or if I met the "right" person (though I doubt it). everyone is different!
10 Reply1. If I'm a player I'm going to continue being a player just saying.
2. a player is always going to be a player.
3. player never falls in love because he's a player he only thinks like a player would think meaning he would get in all your feelings and then as soon as you give them the chance to get in your pants he's going to give you some good sex with all that good sex that he's going to give you he's going to break your heart later on.
4. Do not get yourself in that situation.10 Reply

But I do date a lot or used to anyways lol this is my last week to date around.
I don't see my self committing or becoming exclusive? Tied down? I did have committed relationships before. And it just wasn't right to me.
But I'm pretty sure, if and when I do come across that one girl, that unicorn. I may end up settling10 ReplySometimes. Crappy answer I guess, but I've seen it happen both ways. Sometimes they just end up growing up and wanting what the rest of us wanted in the first place. Takes them years longer to get there, or maybe it's the right person finally helps change their tune. I've also seen it where that hasn't happened and doesn't look likely to.

Do you think they stop dating the types they used to date after they marry the type they didn't date... I mean maybe there's dating type and marriage type and they just don't mix them but continue to have both... I don't know if someine who's used to playing around ever gets over it even if they get to a point where they want to marry... That's just kind of like a security thing. Doesn't mean they wouldn't continue to want the rest. I don't know. I don't players Irl - only player plagiarists :p- so it's all conjecture. But I wonder:-)
- +1 y
@Azara Some do. Probably quite a few. I think that most (not all) marry with the intent of being faithful.
But a lot of people are tempted to cheat, and when they -know- they can cheat easily...
Note they don't marry for security. They marry to raise a family. They feel more secure having a line up of friends with benefits on call, and less secure in a relationship. - +1 y
@Lustylucy to marry? Absolutely not. Abusive guys with low self esteem might.
I've read what players look for in a wife and high on the list is good relationship with her father, good self esteem, good sex drive but low count, often religious, traditional, probably a 'good girl'.
The insecure girls they pump and dump. - +1 y
@Lustylucy Well, I think some of the guys who do what I'm talking about are good, some aren't, some are narcissists, some aren't. Significantly though, they're not looking for someone to -abuse-. They're also not looking to get married to have someone to control, because the key of being a player is they exert control primarily by creating competition. They don't commit because that gives the woman control over their sex life, if they have multiple girls, then none of them have power over them. So for players, marriage is a massive risk. The only real reason most are doing it is to raise a family. So they are basically selecting partner based on A) how good a mother she'll be, B) that she's an appealing long term sex partner and C) that her own ethics mean she's likely to provide what he wants without great control, because its the lifestyle she's grown up looking forward to.

yeaah that's what always heard but trust me it's not always the case
this guy i met lately was a total player and he is realy looking for commitement and so i gived him a chance and all but guess what he wants a commited relationship but in the same way that he has been doing it before , you know sex then friends then if it works out why not
and the truth is that it could never work out which would leave me in a very weak position
and so i realised that ones you are player you'll always be
Only if he's tired of the game... you may be a nice girl but he's thinking about the next 10 nice girls
The only way I can think of it happening is if he's getting too old and just wants to settle after having all the fun.20 ReplyI won’t care enough to stay around and find out. Fortunately, I’ve never been involved with a player but that’s because I’m smart enough to recognize a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Players are disgusting and they deserve sleazy, disloyal whores: not good women. You can’t change a man: he has to want to change himself. If you try to change him, you’ll probably just hurt yourself in the process.

I don't think someone who girs from messing with peoples emotions to marriage necessarily means they changed. committing bc you gave no choice isn't the same as changing. It really depends in why they chose to commit. And of course people can fall in love feel changed then after the hormones die diwn they go back to their old ways. You never really know.
