The Flirting Game

- The guy would check out the girl, but will not do anything yet, well maybe a little glances and compliments here and there, but that's it.

- The girl either appreciates the "gentleness" of the guy, or gets caught by the compliment of the guy (e.g. you're beautiful, I like your style, I think you're gorgeous, etc).

- The girl responds by giving the guy extra attention.

- The guy gets the hint or the "go signal".

- The guy will then start to "fish" for the girl. He will send sweet messages, say sweet nothings, act like a protective lover. In other words, he will actually SPEND TIME (and/or money) with you.

- The girl will start to appreciate this. In time, she will be expecting such gestures ON A REGULAR BASIS.

- The guy will IMMEDIATELY STOP/QUIT his sweet actions. (This is to ascertain whether or not the girl has already fallen for him).

- The girl will then start to demand attention from the guy, since she got used to it. The guy has already become "a part of her life".

- The guy, upon knowing this, shows off a SMUG FACE. (He's the man!)

- From here, the path shall separate (if the guy is serious, he will pursue relationship with the girl, but if he just wants to prove something to himself or to someone else, he shall leave proudly).

THEREFORE, girls, upon knowing this, may we control our feelings, keeping guys off from affecting our emotions, unless we are pretty sure they are worth the risk. ;)
