Sounds like you are playing high school games, so I assume you are in HS. Don't worry, things get better after HS. You learn how to find the good guys, and avoid the bad guys, and how to stop playing games. You don't have to be dishonest or go behind anyone's back. The good guys don't want to play games. Learn how to ID and find them.
A good guy worth fighting for will be honest and direct with you. You will not have to "chase" him. I don't chase girls either. If she doesn't show she likes me, I'm off to find another girl. One that doesn't play games. That has always been my rule. Sure I didn't get hardly any dates in high school, but now I get plenty of dates.
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
