"she deserves so much more, she's a great girl, i should take my time with her and give her what she wants because she's shy and delicate' she..."
realize 9.5 times out of 10 this is your mind filling the blanks. Most of the time you will say this about a chick because that's how you feel about it. this is what she evokes. but it's all a trick. we are all magicians without realizing it. we do it by accident most of the times (both men and women). it's all misdirection, smoke and mirrors, the power of suggestion and all that. when you start feeling these things about a chick (she's the coolest, greatest, sweetest, etc) take a step back and think about why she is all that and be cold and real with yourself. what concrete things that you have seen (not extrapolated or imagined) make her great compared to other girls? you'll find that a lot of times you don't know much and your mind just filled in the blanks with a bias in her favor. it's to the point where even if she does something you don't like or respect, your mind will race to find a possible excuse for her so that the portrait your created in your mind can remain intact. and the longer you keep painting that portray the more protective you will be of it because it's your baby and masterpiece. always try to remain as objective as possible.
we're all magicians performing for eachother. most of us aren't aware of it but the ones that are and that try to create the best magic tricks is what we call "players".
