01. The Time Delay
A subtle manipulation tactic often starts with text messages. He might send a text saying, "Hey, beautiful. Can't wait to see you!" You respond eagerly, but then... silence. Hours pass, maybe even a day, and you hear nothing.
Meanwhile, he's on social media, posting things he knows you'll see. This delay is a test to see if you'll chase his attention, demonstrating that you believe he holds a higher value. If he repeats this behavior, it's a clear sign he's trying to gain psychological leverage.

02. In-Person Tests
Moving on to in-person manipulation, he might casually mention an ex who sounds like a supermodel or is highly successful, aiming to make you feel insecure. Don't be fooled by these comparisons. He might also challenge your beliefs, like criticizing something you enjoy, to see if you'll stand firm or bend under pressure. Backhanded compliments are another tactic designed to induce overthinking and trigger anxiety, putting him in control. Lastly, he might push for physical intimacy on the date, testing your boundaries and comfort levels.

03. Concealed Feelings
Now, let's talk about men who conceal their true feelings. Some will hide their emotions to maintain leverage, creating a power dynamic where you feel needy or asking for too much. After a few dates and perhaps intimacy, he might wait for you to initiate the next date, playing a cat-and-mouse game. If you don't react to his pullback, he may return once he realizes you have other priorities, keeping you off-balance and craving his attention.

It's crucial to recognize these toxic behaviors and not tolerate them. In a healthy relationship, you're an equal partner, not a puppet. Some people will keep coming back not because they want you but because they don't want to see you happy with someone else. So, when someone plays hot and cold, consider their intentions.

“When the connection is right, everything is effortless”… so true

[MoonFoxSassy]

Any man playing these games on purpose isn’t mature enough to be in a healthy relationship. 🙄

[roser]

I remember he set up the first date and the last minutes… he cancelled and I did beg him to go. I feel so dump lol 😂… girl don’t double text or beg. Let him go…

[kaysmith]

When I met my boyfriend, he played this game with me. First, he was really into me and called me every night. Then, he backed off and stopped calling. I started going after him but my heart was breaking because I don’t play games and I don’t understand them. After a few months, I was tired of it and I ghosted him completely - absolutely no contact. I loved him so it hurt like hell but I love myself more. Seven years later, he found me and we started seeing each other again. He no longer plays games with me because he knows I’ll just walk away. We’ve been together now for 16 years. No games, I won’t stand for it!!!!

[jeanr]

Don’t send multiple messages…. Let him respond…. If not happy with delay…. Move on…. Don’t play any games.

[AdrielRaider]

I don't think anyone deserves to be in a relationship with someone who starts it testing anyone in a first date. Use your time to be with someone you can be yourselves, otherwise you will fare better off alone...

I have ADHD, I dont do well waiting. I automatically delete all contact with a man who drags their feet on purpose. I cant stand things hanging over my head.

[mysticbluelight]

I just absolutely loved you said some people may have not had a father or brother….the absolute truth and care in this statement is simply beautiful 🙏🏽

[yolandareyes]

Thank you, Ismael. You give good points and advice. I’m sixty-five years old and single, still dating. Men my age, are still playing these games, which I am so aware of. It doesn’t matter how old these men are, they still keep playing women.

[lindalee]

Love shouldn’t be this hard. I mean, it seems like everyone wants to play games.

[ixora]

At my age of 43 yo. I never been in healthy relationship so idk what's love is. Tired of toxic & abusive relationship. So I walk away, i rather be alone than being all alone even in relationship.

I would say some women's/men's out there are lucky when they loved by their worth.

For some of us who been in toxic relationship or whatever negative relationship. Most dates for sex only. No matter how old these men are, they still keep playing women for their pleasure or like wise. That's Sad ..

[kellyburkin]

I experienced a man like this just recently. It was so confusing. So I ended it. Your video has given me clarity. Thanks.

[jofitz]

Wow! You've just described the exact behaviour of the most confusing emotionally avoidant man I've ever known. I think it backfired for him... everytime he stood me up I sent him photos of me out having better fun with other people. Wish I'd know it was a technique a year ago... thank you for educating me now.

[Cheryl-zz]

Thank goodness I had parents that I could talk to about anything and they weren't afraid to answer me honestly ❤

[judithrix-brown]

I'm so happy I am no longer emotionally needy. In my senior years I'm happy to be alone or with friends. No more desire me games or games of emotional manipulation. Freedom on an epic scale.
