I am very unhealthy for being a codependent person in my current/now past relationship. All it does is devastate a relationship between two people. Feelings are something that can only get stronger and more genuine with time, and a healthy amount of time. Granted, I say all these things but cannot take my own advice. I hope that some of it can make sense to you, though.

The simplest, non-detailed way of slowing yourself down is, KEEP YOUR TRUE FEELINGS TO YOURSELF. If you don't like the games, play them anyway. Be distant, be the person that's unavailable and make her always wanting more, or him wanting more. Never put yourself out there, until you know you want to buy a diamond ring or want him to do so...Until you reach that point, make them work...every single day.
