*OT* Grim, I got something that bothers me about that personal.
Not into "head games"? Fine, but really, when you get right down to it...
WTF are "head games"?!
I mean, when does a white lie in the context of a relationship (i.e. "I can say X and lose 2 hours of my life arguing; or I can say Y and have a shot doing 'the strawberry thing" again") turn into a head game?
Is it the duration? Is there some level of pre-meditation involved? Does it have to be part of some master scheme? Like do you have to keep a notebook that reads something like:
Game Plan: Operation Stacey
Months 1-6: Establish Intimacy
Months 7-8: Begin Pushing for Co-habitation
Month 9: - Get cohabitation then while she's at work pack up everything and bug out, leaving only the cryptic note:
Off to find that fish thing I kept talking about in my sleep. It's been real. C-ya.
P.S. Left a dozen peppermint sticks on your pillow. Hope that makes up for everything. Luv U!
What's the difference between being a "player of head games" and just being a your normal garden variety "a-hole/jerk-off"?
When you say something like "not into head games" aren't what you really saying "because of some a-hole/jerk-off in my past, everything you do will be blown out of proportion and then analyzed like the Zapruder film for possible existence of 'head game playing"?
Why not go with the simple "no a-hole/jerk-offs need apply"?
That's a lot less passive.
And if you want to be even more less passive, maybe you go with something like:
"...Just be aware that if you screw me over, my cousin Nickie will gut you like a fish and feed your entrails back to you in an egg-white and tofu-cheese omlette. I also, enjoy Country-Western music, travelling, quiet dinners..." <g>
Good trading,
