HOW do you not fall into the habit of playing games?
I’m so frustrated with myself. I’ve been single for 2 years and I JUST started trying to date again. I really thought I was ok with being alone and happy with who I am regardless of if I have a partner or not. I’ve done so much therapy but I was wrong.
I’ve been on literally one date with this girl. ONE. We did not kiss, nothing. It was a good time and we had plans to hangout again, which im 99% sure was mutual. And here I am already trying to play games. “I’m not gonna respond for an hour because she didn’t for 40 minutes” or like I’m gonna make her think I’m busy when I’m not. It’s pathetic and I feel like I’m 15 again and that I have learned nothing.
If I like someone BAM I’m instantly trying to play hard to get or some shit and I just want to know if this is normal or if I still am clearly not ready to date. I don’t want to come off needy, and I don’t think I do. But it takes a lot of effort for me to “make sure” I don’t come off too interested and it feels like I’m so toxic and will never learn how to just date without becoming so attached like this and playing mind tricks to keep someone interested when I should just be fine if they like me or fine if they don’t
