Advice on How to Tell the Difference Between a Man Who Just Wants to Date and One Interested in Commitment

Advice Seeker: Dear April,

I am so sick of all of the games guys play with women when it comes to dating and relationships. Would you please give me some tips on how to deal with games, and tell me what all the games mean?

Sincerely,

Sick of Men Playing Games

April Masini's advice:

Dear Sick Of Men Playing Games:

First, pick up my book Think & Date Like A Man -- it talks about getting into "man-think" and accessing (not just ) all the games guys play -- and using them for your own benefit -- but also their behavior leading up to (what looks like) the games they're playing.

Understanding Man-Think

The truth is, it's usually not men who play games, it's women! Men know what they want and then actively try to get it. Women on the other hand, are rarely direct or clear about saying what they want… so women are actually the ones who play games.

Men are either ready to be in a long term, committed relationship or they're not. And it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between a man who just wants to date and one who is interested in a commitment. The problem is, women frequently do not pay attention to the signs.
