Dating is a confusing game – some people can play through quite comfortably, while others hate to be subjected to these dirty games. In any case, it is advisable to know about the different types of dating games that your dating partner can play with you and also to prepare yourself with effective strategies to avoid dating games and to prevent yourself from being fooled by them.

The general objective of playing these dating games is to mislead the partner into thinking the way you want them to think; or to elicit responses from your partner, which can give useful insight into your partner's natural behavior, attitude, thinking, etc; or to manipulate your partner and compel them to open up and speak about their past love life, while you remain a passive listener, without divulging any truth about your own life. In any case, most of the dating games are harmless and not intended to harm the partners in any way.

There is no way in which you can avoid dating games because these games have been in practice for ages and have been deeply embedded in our dating system. These dating games are widely used by dating couples to gather useful information about the date and help decide upon the best partner for themselves. So, rather than trying to avoid dating games, you can play along with your date and participate in the dating game because ultimately, even you want a good partner for yourself and these dating games might actually be able to help you do that.

There are several different types of dating games that your dating partner can play with you, such as:

1. Teasing – Here, the lady tries to woo and entice you with her beauty and flaunts her sexuality openly. She tingles and tempts you with her sweet and peppy talk but remember – underneath, she is watching you very closely. She wants to see if you fall to her trap easily and readily surrender to her persuasion or not. So, try not to fall prey to her suggestive gestures and evocative mannerisms by learning how to avoid dating games like this.

2. Creating jealousy - Here, the lady flirts openly with your friends or the other men in the vicinity, just to evoke feelings of jealousy in you. She wants to test if you are possessive about her or not, and if you are indeed possessive about her, then she wants to know the extent of your possessiveness. Remember, she is watching all your moves and if you simply give up and walk away from the scene, she may mistake it as your disinterest in her, or as lack of courage to confront, or express your love for her.

3. Hard to get – Here, the lady acts as if she is not interested in any romantic liaisons, although there are several other highly impressive suitors interested in her. But at the same time, the lady also openly tells you that she thinks you are good date thereby, hinting at a possible long term relationship. It is best to avoid dating games as this one, which are highly paradoxical in nature and leave you utterly confused.
