The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

On Saturday night, I went out with my dad to a local pub to see a band perform. While there, we bumped into a buddy of ours, who, at one point, said a certain lady was giving him the eye. So, when the two of them went outside to smoke and talk, she flirted with him, before out of the middle of nowhere, a massive man walked towards them, gave the woman a big hug and kiss, and in response, she said, "I've missed you." Our buddy then walked in, told us the story, and said, "Why lead me on like that? Why not just say her boyfriend, or whatever he is, was on the way? I would've then left her alone and started looking elsewhere." So, why do she and others lead people on? Since everyone is different, and due to that, there can be no universal reason as to why people lead others on, I do think there are a few common reasons why some people do this. 1. Attention - When some people notice that another has taken a liking to them, they may flirt and almost egg them on...

My, wasn't that headline an attention grabber? How many guys read that, immediately clicked on it, and thought, "I'm going to discover the secret on how to find the love of my life!" or probably more accurately, thought, "I'm going to discover the secret on how to bang as many chicks as possible!"

What's this power one may ask? Making them feel like world-class b*tches by always being good to them, and then when I turn around seeking their friendship or expressing my feelings for something greater when they've showcased in just about every manner that they're interested, and they turn me ...

So, I got into an interesting conversation last night. As usual with this person, I took on the role as the shrink and her as my patient. This individual has even joked before about paying me for providing this very service. When we got to talking about her potential male dating prospects, she became more defensive than I've ever seen a person (well, it's close with one another - but I think even she pulls slightly ahead of him). Earning three degrees in psychology, this conversation both fascinated and frustrated me. While she was pointing out what she determined to be flaws of these two men and reasons why she was hesitant on pursuing anything with either of them, I reiterated her statements and build upon them to make an even stronger case that she should be careful with both, if not just totally dismiss them and look elsewhere. After these statements, she became Ms. Defensive and I found it intriguing at first, but later found it to be rather frustrating and annoying. H...
