With things like that it's like, Imagine you have no idea what firearms are, and I walk up to you and say "see that metal object over there? That's called a 'gun'. Grab it. that thing underneath is called a 'trigger'. Point the gun at a person and pull that trigger, and I promise you the person's brains will be on the wall behind them." Now you might follow everything I mentioned to the letter and it'll happen just as I said, but guess what you just committed murder. So just cause someone gives you game and the shyt works doesn't mean it ain't foul. The ends don't always justify the means, whether it's a lady schooling a chick or a guy getting game from an "OG" in the hood.
- In modern societies when they're feeling you more that you're feeling them, people call it "clingy."
- If they're feeling you less than you're feeling them, then it's "they're scared of commitment."
I'd say hold off on any feelings in the first place till you know that you guys are a alikes mentally. Now if your actions aren't motivated by giddiness due to lust, and they get interpreted as such, the person isn't on the same wavelength as you anyway, so no loss, on to the next. If the dude alternates between hot and cold he's either not ready to take the interaction past the level that it's at, due to personal problems (not wanting to start a relationship and have it not go right from him not having his shyt together
*),
OR, he's running games someone taught HIM to run(karma),
or he's juggling a old/fresh roster of women, and you're a new recruit.
I would just say do things honestly. If you choose to be receptive to guys who seem to mirror you mentally, your actions won't be a problem(Not to say that you aren't doing that though, just throwing that out there). The good thing is that women are more naturally inclined to be social chameleons, but men being the yang to the female yin have a harder time doing that, so it's much easier to find out if he is who he says he is if you hold off on indulging him before you let the layers of his true nature reveal themselves. If you run these little tricks they may work, but you're gonna attract nothing but guys who play tricks on you as well. Do what you're internal compass tells you to do, and don't allow other people to corrupt you with the wrong information, be it a peer or elderly, male or female.
*that's me at least
