Trying to wrap my head around this concept that a chick I'm seeing seems to use on other men she's not interested in.

​

She tells these guys that she:

​

  1. Has a boyfriend
  2. Is going through some 'stuff' with said boyfriend, and therefore is on a 'break'
  3. Is not looking for anything serious

​

But is open to the idea of dating, and regularly uses Tinder for casual hookups, on the proviso that she's not ready for a relationship yet due to the proximity of her recent 'stuff' with her 'boyfriend'.

​

My thinking is that she craves the attention and will keep certain orbiters close for validation purposes, just pushing them away far enough when they start to encroach on anything other than this beta status she has established for them (using the boyfriend story as a pseudo-ASD) whilst still being open to the idea of dating higher SMV males as a way to test new waters whilst having the best of both worlds (i.e. ability to feign not single and receive new and exciting dick).

​

Thoughts?
