Search Results: women playing games

Hello.
Known this woman for two years. We are coworkers and always got along fine. Turns out at first she liked me and thought I was attractive. I know this because her friends told me a few months ago and even she admitted to it. Good.
When we first met I never paid attention to her but eventually she changed something about her and stood out. She was attractive and very sweet, I noticed. I confessed to her I liked her and wanted to go out with her. She told me no but we continued meeting at work and still interacted normally. I know she still likes me and all and I'm like then why won't you give me a chance to try? She kept telling me she needs space, that she's busy. I don't want to be clingy, because I'm the complete opposite of that but I like her, she likes me, so what's the hold up? Turns out she's getting to know someone else but never told me. I told her a couple of times I don't get offended, she won't hurt my feeling but I want a NO, not a "I'm busy". I'm guessing she can't bring herself up to being so direct but goddamn I feel so played and manipulated. Like she's considering her options. She's started asking me questions about my work and what I want for the future and I wasn't born yesterday, but just tell me you are closer to someone else than with me. If he doesn't work out then I guess I'm next? I don't know what to do. I feel like I want to play her stupid game and start going out with other women, make her jealous. I know it's so bad and I hate it but it's been a year since I confessed. Really now... I really like her but I feel the impulse of just cutting ties with her. I cannot believe.
Is this normal? Do grown mature women do this? By getting to know him I mean being really touchy with him. She once told me she couldn't say because "I have to consider if a person is good or not". At first I thought she was talking about me and I'm like yeah I'm a good person, I try. Now I see it's the other guy; if he's not good then I'll consider you

For example, they find a guy who is cute but she will curve him if he asked her out because she'll be like after she got out of her last relationship, she has been letting her guard up, so she expects him to wait until she's ready then she'll give him a chance. Too me that's her just wanting to feel like she's a golden prize.

Has it ever been a guy who found a woman attractive, but he still turn her down, because he wasn't ready at the time, so later own in life he gave her a second chance? I may sound hypocritical but I ask this, just so i can feel better that it's not always the women who are selective in the dating world.
