Q & A: When Girls Play Games

Q: Dear ScoreHer Squad,

I have a little predicament. I had a crush on this girl. Girl A, and asked her out, she agreed. But stood me up on the night, texting me 1.5 hours later apologizing profusely and asking to reschedule for the next day (Friday). I was a bit annoyed but agreed. She stood me up again. Girl A is about a 7 out of 10. but she pulls a lot of guys regularly, she was texting me like 5 times a night asking where I was, and to join her. So Girl B rings me out of the blue. . .

. . . she is really hot, the best looking girl ive met in a long long time. Super model fit, I was surprised indeed to get the phone call. She asked what I was doing so I told her, and me, her and 2 of my friends met up. I told her about girl A and she said that girl A did infact fancy me and that she was just shy. But that she was not good enough for me and I could do better. She spent the rest of the night just talking to me, telling me how fit I was blah blah, I couldn't really believe it, she kissed me on the cheek a lot of times and was saying things like 'your just the sort of boyfriend im looking for, that everyone wants, good looking , sweet funny.' I didn't think much of it until the next day as I don't really think I am that good looking and she is the prettiest girl ive seen.

What do you think? Was girl B just playing around with me? Or was she serious? She texted me the day after, saying not to worry about girl A and that I could have any girl I wanted.


A: Dear Playee,

I think you have two prime examples of girls who like to play games. Women like to know that men like them, are available, and willing to fawn all over them, BUT if the guy clearly expresses interest it's an immediate turnoff. In the rawest sense, many women treat men are like dogs. We like them to run along our side wagging their tale like a puppy, but if you start jumping in our lap and slobbering, you'll be put on a leash.

In the case of game-playing girl A. She's a bitch. In the age of every fucking communication device imaginable, there is no good reason -- short of death or incarceration -- that a person can't cancel or reschedule the date even thirty minutes before hand. Standing a guy up is a bitch-move and no woman who does so should be given a second chance,

On to game-playing girl B. There is a very real chance that girl B, like, totally digs you. It's rare because when women are really into a guy they usually don't tell them explicitly and to their face. The only way to find out is to confront her. If she says 'you could do better than girl A,' you say, 'are you making an offer?' If she says 'you could have any girl you want,' you say 'great, when can I take you out.' She's throwing the door wide open with these comments, if you don't step in you're wasting your precious mojo on unavailable poon tang. PS: I don't think guys call women out enough on what they say.

I have another thought if girl B knows girl A and is saying this stuff and really hitting on the guy she is probably playing games as well. She is playing the if she wants him and he likes her... I should want him to game... There is something that always makes someone want what they can't have. So girl B thought she couldnt have this guy cause he was into girl A, and she was like I am better than her I should be able to get this guy. My guess is that if he goes for girl B she will remain intrested just long enough to make girl A jealous and end any chance between those two... Then she will move on. Then again if girl A has stood you up twice I say move on and let go of that one anyways that is just cruel and she definately could have called before the date and been like i can't make it X came up... So i would go for girl B but be cautious she might be playing games as well.

Girl B has definitely opened the door, but it's also true that she might be playing games. I would approach her in a teasing manner. Tell her that I know she's got it bad for me and that I understand how it could happen since I'm so hot. At the same time, then tell her that she's too good of a friend, and you wouldn't want to ruin it with a relationship and sex and stuff. I'd say it all in a joking manner so she has no clue whether I'm serious or not, so she can't get mad either way. She will likely argue the point, and maybe get upset, but she has some attraction for you or she wouldn't have been talking the way she was. If you screw with her head that way, you'll make sure the ball is in your court instead of hers if you go to pursue a relationship with her.
