I’m speaking hypothetically.

Say, a 7/10 guy begins plating a 5/10 girl. He’s not taking any of it seriously and still has/wants to get other plates. She’s obviously getting attached to this guy and doesn’t like her plate status. It pains her terribly to have to share him with other women. He’s the only man she wants.

She tries multiple times to end her involvement with him but he just can’t let her. She blocks his number, he sends her an email. She blocks that, he comes to her place. Even though she’s only a plate to him and he knows he can get other, better plates, he hates the thought of letting her go.

Why would you be in this situation? Would there be feelings involved? Is it all about pride/ego?
