What is it really about?
A few years ago I dated a guy for about 5 months. During that time he took me out weekly, always paid, called regularly, and even introduced me to family. I thought we had something solid.
Whenever I brought up being in an official relationship, he'd always bring up his ex. He'd say he wasn't ready to be in a relationship, he didn't want to rush, he was still hurt and afraid.
He told me about all the things she did, and TBH it sparked something competitive in me. I wanted to be what she wasn't, do what what she didn't, I wanted to win him over, make him unafraid to love again. After so long and still hearing the scared excuse, I made myself unavailable and changed my number.
My friends have gone thru similar... getting the girlfriend treatment without the title. Whenever relationships are brought up, he is scared, doesn't wanna rush, etc...
I'm starting to think this game yall do to get the girlfriend experience w/o claiming us. The whole ex thing sparks our competitive nature so we try hard to "win." All the evil ex talk makes the yall seem vulnerable. We think that since hes sharing his feelings with us, he must care for and trust me, creating a false sense of closeness... when really its just game to get the booty...
TRUE OR FALSE?
