Though playing games isn’t respectful or appreciated, many people end up doing it. If you’re wondering how to tell if she’s playing mind games with you, it’s actually easier than you think to read her intentions.
I’ve talked to some guys who would tell me they love playing mind games because it’s an ego boost, or they want to keep a girl interested while they try to get other chicks. Then, I’ve also had female friends who played games for the same reasons.
When it comes to playing games, both men and women are guilty of doing it. And these games, though it may seem fun for the person in control, is extremely harmful. These mind games have the ability to damage people who are looking for love and connection emotionally.
# You feel something isn’t rightYou have intuition, don’t assume it’s a quality only women have. We’re animals, after all. When you’re with her, you feel something isn’t right. And that’s something you need to pay attention to. When your gut is sending you warning signs, take those feelings, and examine them. What’s giving you that vibe?
# It’s hot and cold
You never know what you’re going to get with her, and that’s partially why you’re attracted to her. One minute she’s hot, the next minute she’s cold. This is a classic mind game that sucks us in easily. But, this isn’t something you want to explore. She’s trying to control and play with your emotions by acting hot and cold.
# She ignores your textsWe all get busy, but when we like someone, we take a minute to send them a text. If she’s taking hours to text you back or ignores your texts completely, this is a sign she’s playing you. And if she behaves like this, she isn’t worth your time. Move on to someone who is interested in you.
# She flirts with other people in front of youWhen you two are at a bar or club, she doesn’t waste any time flirting with other people. Aside from it being degrading towards you, it also shows her immaturity. She’s trying to get you jealous and shows that you’re just a toy for her.
# You make all the first movesShe never texts you first or asks you to hang out; everything is dumped on you. Some women believe the man should always make the first move at first, but at some point, it needs to become mutual. If you’re the only one investing in the relationship, you need to ask yourself whether she wants to be with you or not.
# She bails on youIf you’re wondering how to tell if she’s playing mind games with you, ask yourself how reliable she is, is she trustworthy or is she an unpredictable flake? You two have decided on going to a movie or for dinner, but at the last minute, she decides to cancel plans and bail on you.
Of course, she has a lame excuse, maybe her dog is sick, or she suddenly came down with a cold; either way, you know it’s full of crap. Bailing once isn’t something to be concerned about, but if she frequently does this, she’s playing you.
