Trying to imagine a relationship without ‘games’ is like trying to imagine a world without weather. It is just not possible. When people say that they “don’t want games” what they really mean is that they don’t want sick games, or stupid games. From one perspective it could be said that the whole of life is a game, so it is not so difficult to accept that what are the results in relationships are ‘games’ of just one sort or another. As a result, there is nothing derogatory about the expression ‘game’, games are only a problem if they are negative in some way.
Games are usually negative when they are completed purely for result without being willing to engage the consequences. If I make believe you like someone that I am aware I really don’t love as a way of getting one thing from them (attention, sexual intercourse, free drinks) next that is a sick video game – particularly if I am aware the other person likes myself. It would mean that I has been leading them about and playing with their particular feelings, knowing full properly that I was going to damage or disappoint these at the first possibility to get what I need from elsewhere.
Should i be playful with somebody that I like (or there seems to be a fair possibility that I will like these) by flirting somewhat, or paying the kind comments in roundabout ways in which can be a fun and extremely healthy game both for parties. It can be a means of letting someone understand that I have good experience for them without having to merely blurt it out.
You will want to just tell them you prefer them?
Sometimes it is very best just to tell anyone that you like them. Yet, how often is that actually the best thing to do? It can actually put the person immediately if we do that. Just about everyone has had experiences regarding thinking that someone who there were just met was going to become a real friend, or a partner, only to find that as we got to know them the person turned out to be very different from what we expected. We all learn to have defences of one kind or another. Games are a way of playfully letting down a little bit of our defences in a way that gives us a way out, without too much embarrassment on either side, if it all goes pear shaped. If I have really got a liking for you early in a relationship and came right out and said it you might feel obliged to return the compliment, but feel awkward that you do not feel ready to do so. You could have number of other different adverse reactions; you might feel embarrassed, you might wonder what I was after, you might have been thinking “Gee, how can I get away from this person.” and then feel guilty when I was nice to you.
Of course, you might have a positive response too. A well-delivered compliment can really help a relationship. However, I would need to make sure that I respected your process and the time you need to make up your mind about another person. Rather than make the compliment too direct it might be best to play it safe in and compliment you in roundabout ways in the beginning. I can compliment your dress sense, or you hairstyle, for example. Or, I can make indirect complements like “Anyone since fit looking when you would…” or perhaps “I can see you keep oneself in shape. Do you workout a lot…”. Actually I am saying that I prefer you, and you will understand that, yet somehow it really is safe and non-threatening. This is the essence of a healthful game.
