I think guys plays more games with girls., and that are most of the time heart broken games.
When woman "play games" in general its to play hard too get, to put you true a test to see if youare wort it etc.
But often guys do it to hurt the woman , and they see it like a game. While that it horible and very wrong.
And i dont think you have to blame it on all woman.
Maybe its you that was doing something wrong that made both of them rethink the conversation and decide not to meet with you.
And why would you want to sit and eat something with your ex? Its not even your kid, for me to think you want to keep
a good father mother relationship for the kid.
And how can you say you met a girl at the restaurant and you called to set something up, and just before that you told
us you called your ex to go eat some ice cream???????
Like: really? who is playing games here dude??!!!!!!!!!! You are! Cause what will this girl think of if she find out you still call your ex to eat ice cream?
And calling ex and stuff sounds really desperate from you.
You need to take a break and look at yourself and the way YOU APPROACH woman.
Cause the way both appointments went down , seems tome more like they both was not feeling you so much.
