The game is:
- Liking the challenge of pursuing someone (banter, flirting, daily texts and calls...it's so easy)
- Liking the feeling of being pursued (even if you have no desire to be caught by him)
- Trying to convince yourself that you're interested in him (just because there aren't any other options out there for you right now)
- Allowing yourself to use him as the object of your fantasies (even if you're not entirely convinced you're attracted to him)
- Overlooking all the red flags about him (in order to keep him as a possibility)
- Allowing yourself to be convinced that you like him (because his attention is exciting, especially during a lonely time)
- Being fooled into the possibility that maybe you could like him (again, see note on #3)
- As a fool, telling him you're interested (feeling certain this would excite his inexperienced, insecure heart)
- Having him turn around and say he's not interested (he gotcha...)
- Tricked into feeling hurt (even though your heart was never invested in the game)
- Realizing, "S@!t, I let him win..." (humbling...)
- Breathing a sigh of relief when, in the midst of what you think is loss, you realize that none of it was real. It was, after all, only a game...
Still, it's the same game over and over. And I don't want to play anymore...
Take it away Sarah..."how stupid could I be, a simpleton could see, that you're no good for me, but you're the only one I see..."
