Playing games to get someone to like you is damaging in the long term.
The games can get you that person in the short term, but they ultimately lead to you losing that person in the long term.
When you play games, you act in an unnatural way so as to psychologically get the person you like to like you back.
Whether it be playing hard to get by making yourself regularly unavailable for conversations and dates or giving the impression that you are distracted by lots of other male suitors as you keep withholding compliments and affection from him, the games lead to a voracious desire on his part to be with you.
Sometimes, the person you find attractive doesn’t have a chance to determine whether they find you attractive and like you back when they are completely unaware that you find them attractive.
He isn’t a mind reader.
If you haven’t given him any significant signs that you find him attractive and like him, you haven’t given him much of a chance to determine whether he would like you back.
A mistake a lot of girls make when they find a guy attractive is doing nothing about it or doing too little.
A man usually takes 2 to 3 years to propose to his long-term girlfriend.
Keeping this in mind, be careful that you aren’t assuming he is taking too long to propose, when in fact, the time frame is still within the average time it usually takes for a guy to propose to his long-term girlfriend.
Usually, he already knows he wants to marry her well before this time frame has elapsed.
Nevertheless, he waits to propose so as to accomplish some financial, professional, or personal goals to put himself in the best possible position to get married to his girlfriend.
