Hi all,

Basically I know that there are two 'schools' of love nowadays. One of which is the traditional one, the other is the modern, game-like type of love.

[Traditional]

It involves things like:

1). Being sincere

2). Persistence

3). Doing things for the one you love so that she is happy

4). Be kind and caring

5). Being truthful

6). Devotion

7). Know a person well, be friends first before anything else

...etc.

[Modern]

It involves things like:

1). Playing hard to get

2). Act like you don't want to be with a person whom you actually want to be with

3). Get close, withdraw. Rinse and repeat

4). Don't mean what you say

5). Never confessing your feelings

6). Be flirtatious, purposely making the other person jealous

7). Attract, for without 'electrifying' someone within minutes, you are as good as gone

...etc.

I personally am more of the traditional type. However, I find that my type of loving style is fast getting 'outdated' if you know what I mean...I try to 'apply' some of the tricks under 'modern' style but it's been a huge struggle in me. So to say, I don't want to hurt the girl I like by using the things I consider as 'nonsense'.

Is it really a must to use those 'tricks' in order to have a loving relationship? I really don't understand sometimes.

In addition, is it true that 'A man should never woo a woman. Instead, he should attract her' and 'Everything you chase will run away'? Does it mean we have to always get stuck in the middle without doing anything, even confessing our feelings to the one we like/love (before courtship)?

Please enlighten me. Especially those with a wealth of experiences in relationships.

Thanks a lot.

Devil Crazy
