Do you "play games" (see below for explanation) in your relationships?

So, just wondering (for those of you in succesful or semi-succesful relationships) - do you "play games" in it? I am not talking about cheating or anything nasty but e.g. stuff like occassionally playing hard to get to get what you want (or just keep the relationship interesting). Or do you find such stuff to be an unacceptable manipulation?

Unacceptable manipulation.  But I'm more wary of being played than being the player, so I'm sorta like Counter-Intel.  Zero tolerance for pussy provocateurs.

Unless it's early in a relationship I know is not ever going to go anywhere.  Then I'm a game-playing douchebag.  Because it's fun.

I hate it myself, too. But the fucking annoying thing is that sometimes when I (against myself) resort to it, I get better results than when I am just getting involved and committed.

So yeah, about fags, it's like with women, too.  <_<

Fuck no.  My philosophy was that if a woman didn't love me for me, well, there were others out there.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Sure about what?

Raz voted for the Raz option.  As you guys can probably imagine, I'm not that good with people. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
