No worries. Like I said, I don't really understand 'women' in general myself either (even though I am a women), I'm just trying to draw conclusions from my knowledge of past experiences/ people I know. (- Nor am I a relationship expert *cough I've never been in a relationship cough*.)

Hmmm I'm not exactly sure... but I think it's not just women that feel that way. Men also like a challenge. (They generally don't go for 'easy' women - unless they want sex.) This whole 'game' thing though, in my opinion, is more of a temporary phase/ 'primitive instinct'/desire until people manage to figure out what it is that they are really after.

As people get older they start to gain a better understanding of the men/women they like and also of traits they don't like in partners... They generally from that point don't mess around (when looking for a serious relationship) as they have subconsciously defined a 'type' that appeals to them - whatever that may be. However, there is 'no rule book' for this, everyone is different and everyone admires different personality traits.

All I can really say is, you need to find someone who likes you for you. There are girls out there who I'm sure would really like to date you, so you need to stop (emotionally) holding onto the wrong ones, in order to find the right one.

Ps. I hope not to come across as harsh towards you. It's definitely not my intention and as I've said before, I've never dated anyone I'm just theorizing...

Pps. There is nothing wrong with you and I hope you find a nice girl that appreciates you.
