why do people play games?

the dating kind.

it's 5 am monday morning and i'm trying me best to figure this out for myself and for others.

if you've hung out, had fun. he/she leaves you a message a day or so later. why do you wait to call/write back? is this a control or upper hand thing? is it a battle of 'who can care less'? 'cause i just don't get it and would love a little input.

didn't you get a little rush, a little smile, from the message? didn't it feel good to know that someone was thinking of you? so why can't you return that? that isn't strategy to me, that's mean.

life is too hard without all the extra bullshit.

so, please, if you have an answer, let me know. i'm stumped.

Yes. It is an upperhand thing.

I dunno. I think it's more complicated.

[I don't want to seem too eager, too desperate, I don't want to crowd you. ]

All kinds of weird neurotic thoughts. Or maybe it's just scary having someone who connects with the part of me that I consider important. [Will she hurt me?]

Or maybe it's control. Who said life should be easy? Good luck hun, enjoy the ride.

it's icky.

that's all there it to it.

doesn't make me want the person more, just makes me feel sad.
