I think it is a power trip. They want to play games to see how far they can push the envelope. And when you keep playing the game, it ups the power ante for them. Then, when you stop the game, they act all hurt and confused, yet another power manipulation. Or they start treating you worse and worse, just to see what the limit is. The loser who plyed this game on me had a medical appointment scheduled weeks in advance, yet he would call me that afternoon to tell me he was in town. Why didn't he call prior? Was he looking for something better? Who knows, who cares, it is that person's problem.

Considering you use the term "girl" she must be on the young side. There's a good chance she is playing games which of course you have no time for. Then again she just might be nuts.

As you progress in your dating experience you find out some women are just plain nuts. They are fun to date but hard to get rid of sometimes. So tread lightly.

The way to settle her down is to be upfront with her. tell her you don't have time for games and then ignore her. She thinks she has the upper hand because she thinks she's hot. That hotness won't last forever.

I love how people are so quick to buy that the OP's perception of this woman is completely grounded in reality and not imagined, calling her names and such.

I've had guys accuse me of playing games with them, simply because my life didn't revolve around them and I had other serious concerns.

i agree, attractiveness or "hotness" doesnt last forever, relationships are also built on personality, and if ur personality doesnt get you anywhere then your probably not the relationship type

What do you expect us to do? We can't get her perspective, so we're really left with no other option than to believe him...sans obvious lies, of course.

i think shes just always this negative in general. At least from the posts I end up reading. The girls perspective is that shes a young 22 year old thats in party mode. She probably doesnt want a committed relationship which im fine with but also craves/wants attention

Relegate her to "ex" date. You have to teach people how to treat you. Expect the best. Drop this one, too much BS.

Some girls don't learn a thing from playing games. Move on if that's the case.

Well, be suspicious of generalities without details...accusing her of "playing games" and acting "hot and cold" without a ton of details elaborating the fact. Maybe she's just not into him period really, and he's perceiving her "hotness" as when she's going out of her way to be friendly and her "coldness" as when she has her priorities on her mind.
