Am I Up For This?

She's playing hard-to-get.

She's playing hard-to-get, or she's not interested.

After about 5 days of silence, I get a text message reply from L. I had left her the following message after calling her on Thursday:

Me: Can't tell if it was your phone or mine, but there was a lot of static when I called. How are ya? Playing hard to get already?

A whole day passes.

Her (reply after 24 hours): Lol no silleee isn't it gorgeous out

I sent her another message, telling her I was searching for glass repair shops for my car window. I didn't get a message from her until 3 hours later, when I was sleeping, and her phone sent the same message 6 times. I couldn't be fucked to send her another text so I just went to sleep.

I feel like I'm too old for this shit. I don't mind a little gameplay here and there. I don't mind the little poke-me games and hot/cold I get from PG... because she's 21. And I didn't get the impression that L was like that. I thought she was someone who knows what she wants. She did make the first move after all and decided to invite me online.

Eh. I'm also too tired to figure this out right now. All I know is that she's 30 and could be playing games and I'm 27 and don't want to be played (again.) So I guess it's up to me to shit or get off the pot. I hope I'm wrong about this whole thing, but the voice inside my head is calling it like it sees it-- just like it did with PG. She likes you man, but she's probably playing games with you to find out how serious you are. Are you up for this? You gonna let her win at this game?

I honestly don't know. I don't even think I would know how to turn the tables in my favor.

I also hate playing games. But it's like that hate you have for something but do it anyway.
