I could be mistaken, but that is the angle that most players take with women in this age range. They start with the "I've fallen hard" angle to get what they want, and then they enjoy the ride while it lasts. When a girl starts to get too attached, that is the players cue to cut her loose.

I have a good friend that is 22, and she falls for this repeatedly even though I have tried to warn her. When women get into their later 20's, assuming they're still single, they become more wise and are harder to manipulate.

My expectations certainly change after we both admit that we like each other, which I think is reasonable. I've asked around my friends who have viewed me in these relationships and they all have said that I'm far from needy, level-headed and very independent. What gives?

Jmtmj agony auntYou may not notice it instantly, but as soon as you recognize that you really like a guy- does your behavior towards him change? Do you become needy? Call more? Expect more? Does the dynamic of your interactions change??
