Wanting what they can't have

This is why some women play games. I hate the games, but it's hard not to have a little fun when they work so well.

So my "friend" sent me a text Wednesday night asking if I wanted him to come over. I was out of town and already in bed, so I ignored the text (not even really knowing who I was ignoring). I replied the next morning saying I'd be out of town until Sunday- no response.

Last night, I was bored and had been thinking about him so I texted saying I wished I was in town so we could get together. He seemed to really want to see me. Even after I told him I'd be in touch later in the week, he texted me again an hour or so later expressing how it sucked that I wasn't there. Up until last night, I wasn't convinced that he even cared if I said no or not or that he thought about me much. Could it be because he couldn't have me?

Before I gave in to him, I shot him down several times-for months even (he's previously been known as pervy guy). Even before he started sending me sexual texts, I wasn't more than friendly. He continued to pursue me even after getting shot down. Now that he has me, at least part of me anyway, he's backed off. Until last night. I fully expect to hear from him tonight as well.

He's not a player or I'd understand the "hard to get" unavailable thing working on him. I don't even know for sure yet if I want more, but I do know that I want him to want more with me. So maybe playing the game is the way to go.

I don't think I'll even get the hang of this "men" thing!
