playing games = trying to play hot/cold with her, etc. not saying you should wear your emotions on your sleeves but just that you should be real as far as who you are. Maybe you didn't need that advice and i was just projecting.Hmm. How do I not play games? Okay.
Yeah you're right. Okay. What is this process of getting to know her? Just being observant of who she is and what she's about? I like that she's socially aware, and mature, I think. Someone to help me grow and stay focused rather than breaking me down
the process of getting to know her is observing her world view, how she expresses different emotions, how she expresses different types of ideas, observing what type of details from her past she chooses to share with you and in what light she casts it all, etc. If your gut is telling you she's good for you, keep seeing her as long as she wants the same thing. it's all about respecting people and yourself while keeping things light. You don't seem jaded at all which is a good thing in my humble opinion. deep down you know if she's interested or not and to what level. Also, keep in mind the level of interest can go up and down even within the same day and it doesn't always have to do with you (daily events, biology/hormones, diet, environment, tv shows, etc, etc). The best thing you can do is to always try to improve yourself and keep an open mind while staying observant and grounded. just keep doing your thing and trust yourself more
