My roommate and I have been talking lately about gaming. We came up with a couple of pointers that I wanted to share with people.

1) You are a prize - Girls are looking for the perfect guy as much as you're looking to land the HB#. Think of yourself as the ultimate catch. Make them work a little to get to know you (the push-pull). You're not going to roll over just because they show you a little attention.

2) Marination - This is what we call the waiting game. Everyone should/already know this, knows it's a fine line. This applies to almost all aspects of dating, from texts / phone calls to time in between dates. But the key here with us we found is in texting. In the age of instant gratification, don't respond immediately. Take the time to think a little about what they are thinking/saying in their texts. Respond accordingly, with forethought. She's not the only thing going on in your life right now.

3) Game plans are key - You wanna be alpha? You gotta be ready to take control at any given moment. You know where you're going. You have other options if that doesn't work out. Sure you let them think they can choose, but in reality it's all part of the plan you set in motion from the beginning. Girls like to be told what to do while given the illusion they are under control.

4) Never let them see how it affects you - A girl cancels the date you set up for whatever reason. You're heated, a little pissed. Are you going to go AFC on her? Nah, you're going to let it slide. It's her loss she's doing something else. You show them through experience what they're missing out on, by telling them later how awesome the night was.
