The cereal had it right, “Tricks are for kids,” and prostitutes. So why do so many women and men feel that the only way you’ll get what you want relationship wise is to play with the other persons head? I’m sorry, but acting like a 5 year old is not sexy and is the worst way to try and seduce me. I did a search on Google and came across countless ways to Play Hard To Get. The operative word being play. I would hate to be in a relationship with someone who regarded my feelings as a toy. I came to this realization when I was in high school. I was brain washed into thinking a certain way by my mom and movies, which always portray the woman as waiting around for the man. But then, one day while I was anxiously waiting by the phone I had a revelation. “My fingers aren’t broken, so why can’t I call him?” And just like that my life changed along with my perception of how a relationship should function. If I want a guy to take me out, instead of waiting around for an invite I ask, “So when are you taking me out again?” There is nothing forceful or abrasive about how I ask the question, and as a matter of fact every guy I’ve ever broached with the question finds it endearing. Why? Because I’m being honest. We both know we had a good time with each other so I just prefer to cut through all the BS. Life is too short to waste time trying to figure out what someone is getting at and reading between the lines. I mean what I say and I say what I mean.

Now, don’t think that just because I’m upfront in my dealings with people that I just lay all my cards out on the table. I don’t. I let my SO peel back the layers. The more time he takes to get to know me the more I reveal. That’s not playing games, that’s just good business. Being who you are is what gets you “Mr. Right,” not pretending to be something else.
