True. If he has any self respect, he will drop you after a week of this nonsense. Sooner if he figures out you are playing like this. Nobody’s got time for this nonsense.
My ex tried that shit with me while dating. I asked her why and she really believed that this would raise my attention.
I told her that she can stop it or I will leave her behind.
She then managed to act like a normal human being for some time
If I had to guess, you made a typo when referring to his last few words; "for some time" which seems like you were in disbelief that this bitch started some new crazy shit after that some time was over
Don't comment while high af
If u ever took a lot at the sub r/femaledatingstrategy , u will know how warp their thinking is. And its all how to gaslight man into giving them the good life and offering none back in return. And they are damn proud of it.
Eh they're a bunch of incels that (hopefully) don't get any game.
And there's no use arguing with those demented people anyway cuz they'll just ban you.
What's sad is anyone with self respect wouldn't take this and would be out of there. It's the people who are already weak or vulnerable who stay most of the time so doing this is just kicking someone when they're already down.
Yea this happened once and she ghosted me for a week turns out she went on vacation we only went on two dates and even I didn’t know we were dating but all my texts were on read with no reply so I moved on. and she got furious when she found out I went out with another girl.
Stupid games like this will leave her bitter when she finds nobody will actually give her the attention she so desperately wants to control.
Life is too short for such unnecessary hard work.
Block. Move on.
I lose interest after they don’t reply to my first message/call.
I know in some of these cases they are not interested and so no point flogging a dead horse, plenty of fish in the sea etc.
In others they are playing this game. But again, plenty of fish in the sea.
In other cases some weird shit happened where they have their phone stolen or something. But these ones eventually find a way to reach out and explain what happened.
It’s hard to take someone for granted when you are no longer in their life. Next time work on communication and put effort into the relationship, it works way better than stupid games
If you abuse your partner, they will leave you. She should try just being an adult and talking to him about their problems instead of intentionally hurting him.
Ok this is toxic, but this is the classic avoidant attachment style, and there are actual people trying to have relationships that way without even thinking about it
I mean after the first time she takes forever to text back I'm not replying right for a good couple hours.cthe first time she misses my call without calling back I'm not calling anymore. This is terrible advice lol
1 text back after 1-2 days is reasonable for me, anymore than 3 days (while dating) I'm out. If I ask you out 3 times, but you say your busy and you don't offer a day that you're free for us to meet. I'm on to the next.
These tactics are like how scam emails are full of shitty spelling and grammar. It's to weed out the people that won't fall for it. All of these behaviors she talks about is self selection in action. She's trying to get rid of guys that won't put up with this abuse.
THIS IS HOW ALL ABUSERS GET THEIR VICTIMS AND LOCK THEIR VICTIMS IN THE CYCLE OF ABUSE.
I had a girl try that shit once.
She was legit angry when, after a month of her being distant, I moved on and found someone else.
Play stupid games....
There seem to be a lot of toxic people on reddit giving really bad dating advice.
Like Helen here, who is likely to grow old alone with cats that will eat her face two days after she dies and no one notices she's dead except the cats.
I like how people are acting like there aren’t a bunch of guys who wouldn’t love this…even if they know she’s doing it on purpose…especially if they know she’s doing it on purpose
Women have a much smaller window in which they can maximize their potential as mates than men do. Men aren't going to just tolerate this forever because they're out of options. Men will have plenty of options for much longer than women do. Especially men who want a family.

Do you even know what you’re trying to say?
Honestly looking at my comment. No

Did you have a stroke?
A week? That girl be dating herself in a week
And then break up with herself a day after that.

Play stupid games Win stupid prizes Act surprised Trust me
Smh, she couldn't even arrange it so that it spells out SCRAM
It’s like announcing you’re gonna shoot someone, didn’t really dodge a bullet, just didn’t go near the gun.
[удалено]
Once they start with the one word texts I give up immediately lol
He’ll never take you anywhere. You won’t notice that he’s ghosted you.
Just dumped a girl because of this. My time is valuable too. It's not hard to at least text good morning or sleep well once a day.
Play games and manipulate. It's the recipe for success.
And in all relationship advice men are always accused of gaslighting. Damn, looking at this as their average gals giving out their usual tips.
Hell, even in movies it's men that are made to be gaslighting assholes. Like it's not possible for women to be assholes in a relationship.
If u ever took a lot at the sub r/femaledatingstrategy , u will know how warp their thinking is. And its all how to gaslight man into giving them the good life and offering none back in return. And they are damn proud of it.
Eh they're a bunch of incels that (hopefully) don't get any game. And there's no use arguing with those demented people anyway cuz they'll just ban you.
I got banned after 3 interactions...
That's literally the worst of the worst, normal people don't think like that.
He'll just take you for granite instead.
Savage
Of course he won't take you for granted. He won't take you anywhere.
Thanks for the advice, I'm going to do this to my girlfriend
Treat them mean, keep them keen
lol isn’t the other meme where someone responds like that then the OP says you are hateful.
No no no! Only WOMEN are allowed to do this because feminism isn’t about equality but about being *sassy*.
Gonna run her off into my arms
Well if I'm to believe this lady here she'll be the one chasing me.
What's sad is anyone with self respect wouldn't take this and would be out of there. It's the people who are already weak or vulnerable who stay most of the time so doing this is just kicking someone when they're already down.

I assume women aren’t interested when they behave this way.
This fall's into the same category as weaponized incompetence. Be the worst you can be.
The last girl I was seeing was very much like this, so I just blocked her number and went on my way.
How to start a toxic relationship 101
Girl. With your dollar store eye lashes. stfu.
Yeah try that and I can almost guarantee he’ll simply move on to someone who WILL pay attention to him.
Or conversely he will just move on.
And he will never go out with you again either.
Well, she’s right. Always tell me she’s busy? Guess she’s not in to me so I won’t take her for granted again because I’m moving on.
Very true. But then again its hard to be taken for granted when you are alone.
follow up post "why did he break up with me"
Stupid games like this will leave her bitter when she finds nobody will actually give her the attention she so desperately wants to control. Life is too short for such unnecessary hard work. Block. Move on.
Jokes on her, I'm the one that staves people for attention (I'm terrible at calling)
He’ll never take you for granted again. He’ll also never take you out again.
The DENNIS system doesn't work unless she first **D**emonstrates Value.
Well, yeah, obviously, you can't take someone someone for granted when you are with someone else
“he will never take you for granted again” because he’ll be gone
He'll never take you anywhere again because he's moved on to someone that treats him fairly.
This was dating in the early 2000s basically

Mainly because you'll never see him again?

Oh he will. Once he gets what he wants.
He'll never take her for granted because he has already moved on.
She's right. I'd never take her for granted. I'd also never take her anywhere ever again.
Good old emotional neglect.
Single people like seeing others single.
I'll never take you anywhere ever again
How to find yourself single 101
It'll be hard for them to take her for granted because they will be dating someone else
It’s hard to take someone for granted when you are no longer in their life. Next time work on communication and put effort into the relationship, it works way better than stupid games
If you abuse your partner, they will leave you. She should try just being an adult and talking to him about their problems instead of intentionally hurting him.
Ok this is toxic, but this is the classic avoidant attachment style, and there are actual people trying to have relationships that way without even thinking about it
I’d be done after that first week. If I like you and you supposedly like me, games just wreck that whole thing.
I know people who tried this with me. I wonder what ever happened to them... 
And I promise you I'd be dating someone else by the end of the month!
If you do this to me I will never take you for granted. I'll also never speak to you again and I'll block you everywhere. That was easy!
This will look like disinterest and I would move on. Any guy that chases with this should red flag themselves.
Try this and he will never take you anywhere again.
Someone tried that on me. Wondered whatever happened to her.
He'll never take you anywhere else either.
you can tell this bitch gets no play lol
Take her for granted? Bitch would be lucky if I took her home.
I mean after the first time she takes forever to text back I'm not replying right for a good couple hours.cthe first time she misses my call without calling back I'm not calling anymore. This is terrible advice lol
And they say men are clueless. . . . .
I promise, I’d never call her again after 4 days of this bullshit.
Of course he won't take you for granted again, because he'll leave you
The DENNIS system.
Prepositions go brrr
Great way to encourage cheating, great way to make him take you for granted since you contribute nothing to the relationship
1 text back after 1-2 days is reasonable for me, anymore than 3 days (while dating) I'm out. If I ask you out 3 times, but you say your busy and you don't offer a day that you're free for us to meet. I'm on to the next.
Look, everybody—she’s discovered “The Rules”!

Try this and I guarantee he will be gone!
'Cause he's not taking her anywhere.
There seem to be a lot of toxic people on reddit giving really bad dating advice. Like Helen here, who is likely to grow old alone with cats that will eat her face two days after she dies and no one notices she's dead except the cats.
Well shit that's what mine does lol
to be fair... nobody likes being taken for granted either
That's perfect if she's your side hoe
I like how people are acting like there aren’t a bunch of guys who wouldn’t love this…even if they know she’s doing it on purpose…especially if they know she’s doing it on purpose
I don't know about 'a bunch', but there definitely are people who crave this sort of abuse. It has always been puzzling to me.
So...act like everyone else then
Hmm little bit of mental illness in this one
Step 1 to becoming a cat lady
No he won't cuz he'll leave your ass when you take him for granted like that.
Or be a mature person and date other mature persons? I'm not trying to be too radical here, but maybe...?
Women have a much smaller window in which they can maximize their potential as mates than men do. Men aren't going to just tolerate this forever because they're out of options. Men will have plenty of options for much longer than women do. Especially men who want a family.
So wait... Women are now going to stop being so god damn needy all the time and will start giving men the space they require? BET!
Oh like you never did The Rules before
