I have recently read a few blogs where some of my online friends seem to believe that we, as single folk all play games. "If you're not playing then you forfiet!" one of my friends so eloquently put it. I sat there typing away trying to explain to her that not all of us are gamers. Some of us really want to get to know the person for who they really are. Some of us don't intentionally not call for 3 days to give them the hunt. Some of us live by who we really are!
She called bullshit on me. She said even though I may say I'm not playing any games, that in itself is a game! HUH??? I told her how unfair that statement is because it's a no win arguement for me. Its like telling someone "If you say you didn't do it, then we know you did it". What can you say then?
Do I believe that we play games? Ab-so-fucken-lutely. Do I play games? NO!! I am who I am, and I don't know how to be anything else. I've toyed with the idea of creating a fake profile to see if I can actually play a character...to be someone that I'm not. To act and toy with men. To flirt mercilessly to gain their attention. You know what? I can't do it!! I just can't!
This is my first time on this website and I signed up to basically voice my opinions and maybe meet some people whom I can share great conversations with. To get to know folks, hopefully honestly. I'm not naive...I know the games being played. But it doesn't mean I have to play along. You want the game, then go to the next girl. There are plenty out there that do all sorts of things to gain mens attention. They are really good at it too.
Look, as a single, we are all basically looking for that person who is right for US (if you're being honest with yourself). If you want to find that, then it starts by stopping the games. You can only meet the real one, when you get real. Other than that...you'll always be playing. I want out of the rhomper room. I don't want the slides, the hopscotch or the checkers. I want someone that is for ME....so I'll just continue to do what I do best...be ME.
