JSol Blog 6

Playing the game is a very interesting topic.  It seems we always talk about the methods we take to form relationships.  What I thought is more interesting is the aspect of calling it a game with different strategies.  Looking some of my favorite movies (i.e. Hitch) I see, now, the clues of the 'game'.  Things like playing hard to get and other methods have become almost second nature and until we analyze and experiment we don't see those characteristics.  Looking back to when my girlfriend and I started dating, we had some rocky times, and some methods of the 'game' obviously didn't work.  What did work was being honest and being myself.  So, maybe, the most powerful strategy is not playing the game.

I do have to agree I am not much into the whole "game" idea. Does it not just leave people more confused in their relationship. Perhaps honest-straightfowardness is an excellent tool from the start. Today talking about communication it seems as though clearness is what most couples struggle with. The guy is sending one message of being solution and action oriented and the girl wants to bond. Communication is already complicated enough without games especially we you view this person as possibly "the one". If it is an innocent-fun relationship, I guess...let the games begin! perhaps it could always morphe into more!
