Do We Have to Play Games?

A few friends have been going on dates with different people and I was just thinking about what they have been saying... they shouldn't reply a guy so fast. Take at least a good couple of hours to give a reply. If they ask you to an event after a date, reject them so it makes them wanting more. If you guys fight, don't message first. All these game playing strategies that I don't think I'll ever understand.

To me, I've always thought if I like that person and that person likes me then I wouldn't have to play such a game (maybe that's why it didn't work out?). Cousin said I was too easy (didn't play hard to get) for "that person", but that's me, I'm just that simple. I mean everyone is different (guys and girls), some guys might love it when the girls play these games. They may think oh she wants the chase, this is interesting. Some guys might think the girls are just immature or maybe they think the girls aren't interested? I mean I don't see everyone that plays those game to have a lasting relationship so do we really need to use such strategy? Do guys really like that or do they actually find it too much?

I would only take hours to reply a guy if I'm not that interested (trying to tell him I'm not interested but he didn't get it...). I reply ok fast if I'm into someone, it also depends how fast the guy replies. Replying fast doesn't mean I was around my phone waiting for that person's message. I always reply to people asap, doesn't matter who it is, it's like a type of manner to me? I will take longer to reply if I'm busy with something.

I honestly think life is too short for games, at least for me it is, I don't know what will happen to me next second. So in the future if there is another guy that I like and he likes me, I'll just be myself. If I have to play games to keep his interest then I guess it's not meant to be and he isn't worth it. He should like who I am, the "simple" me. =)

Random moment, good old song, I was watching "Unfair Lady" and Saving was saying these lyrics out. Song title is so true (if I'm interpreting it right), at least I find it hard to find someone with mutual feelings. I'm just that unlucky. A line from drama, "in order to prevent history to repeat itself, the best way is for them to make changes and reflect." (true but after change and reflect, will it be happily ever after?)
張學友 Jacky Cheung feat. 梅艷芳 Anita Mui -「相愛很難」
"最好　有生一日都愛下去
但誰人　能將戀愛當做終生興趣
生活　其實旨在找到個伴侶
面對現實　熱戀很快變長流細水
不過　兩隻手拉得太緊
愛到過了界那對愛人　同時亦最易變成一對敵人
也許相愛很難
要單戀都難
也許不愛不難
愛不愛都難 未快樂先有責任給予對方面露歡顏
得到浪漫　又要有空間
得到定局　卻怕去到終站 
然後付出多得到少不介意豁達　又擔心　有人看不過眼
無論熱戀中失戀中　都永遠記住第一戒　別要張開雙眼"
