"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
how long will she mess with your head?

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Post specifics.
Judging by what you posted in the other thread, you should probably go and write down everything between you and this girl here and get some advice from these fine folk on this board.

Many species of gameplaying
Hmm.. first of all, (assuming as Hubris did) that this is a girl that is in your life / around you etc. and not a hypothetical case then its really quite fantastic that you have recognised it, for now, it doesn’t matter how long she plays her games, or should I say tries to play her games..
Now, about that question of yours, 'How long can games do for?' Well, there are plenty of grey areas here, but, games can go forever!! Haven’t you read the book 'Great Expectations'? I haven’t ;-) But its something along the lines of a game being played for a very long time and some poor guy putting up with it. If I'm wrong here... ill edit this post.
To answer your question specifics would be good, but in the short run there are a couple of possible responses that I reckon should cover your question.. I think these will pretty much cover babes in the 15 to 25 age bracket or thereabouts. I’ll post stuff as I think about it.

Girl Type 1: The psychopath
Game Length: 1 Week to 2 Months
Basic Rationale: This type knows exactly what they’re doing on some level. She’s a psychopath. Not a psychopath like she tortures little kittens and watches Jason X to get fashion tips, more like she’s arrogant and she thinks she’s God’s gift to the world, although at the same time, she’s a little insecure.
Most likely she’s in her teens or went through a delayed puberty, she’s deluded, those hormones are going crazy. She doesn’t know weather she’s coming or going, and to her, its all business as usual.
So where exactly is she coming from?… Well, her awful behavior derives from her arrogance. Her inability to decide what she actually wants comes from her insecurity and lack of life experience. She doesn’t think in terms of 'you','your feelings' and the possibility that she might hurt someone, quite the opposite. (For example, if someone’s rude to her, its 'How dare they!!!' not 'He’s having a bad day' or 'Perhaps I did something')
She feels that any guy who doesn’t fit her mold of what the perfect teenage/20teen boyfriend should be is common trash and owes her something for even breathing near her. It’s up to you to take charge of this little bundle of dynamite... perhaps if you’re a master DJ or have a degree in neuroscience you can figure out to do here. For us mere mortals or uber DJs, just ditch the beeotchh!

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

From what you wrote there, it looks like you expect the girl to at some point make a move, tell you what's up, or whatever.Originally posted by nan3109

Assuming the girl DOES like you, she's most likely NOT going to *ever* "stop" her games on her own. She'll flirt heavily, then pull back, and repeat. This is what women do to make men fall for them.
Here we teach that it's YOU who stop the games. You build up the attraction, ask for a date. If she declines the date offer, next her (unless she has a believable excuse, in which case you might give her another chance. Use your own discretion). If she accepts, good. Then at some point on one of the first dates, make a move, kiss her. She declines the kiss, you can either pull back a bit and try again later, then quit, or just next her right then. If she accepts the kiss and returns it, then good. Date her non-exclusively until she tells you she wants to be exclusive...and then become exclusive if you desire.
This pattern above is pretty much the closet thing to a "set" rule that there is with DJ-ing. It can obviously vary and skip steps, but overall the elements are always present in a similar form.
Do this, and you cut through 90% of the bullsh!t women give you when you try to get with them. But there will always be some bullsh!t. These are women, remember. Just be a man and don't let it bother you. Press on. You are the hunter and conqueror.
Hope this helps- -E-Z
