HOW TO SPOT A PLAYER, NOT A STAYER
“BEWARE OF THE MAN WHO IS CONTENT WHEN HIS NEEDS ARE MET AND YOURS ARE NOT”
Have you ever come across a guy who is physically attracted to you but doesn’t want anything more? I’m sure most of us have encountered this sort of man. He’s definitely a player and NOT a stayer.
Let me share with you a recent experience of mine. I met a guy in a business networking seminar. He was the CEO of his own plumbing company and his business was doing really well. He gave me his business card and we exchanged phone numbers so that we could catch up for coffee. I was really excited to see on his business card that he was the CEO of his own company, and I was keen to get to know him better.
I wasn’t looking for romance; the reason I was excited to meet up with him is because I have investment properties, and it’s always good to have a friend in the plumbing industry. As a female property owner, a friend in the industry is a great way to ensure I don’t get ripped off if the plumbing at my properties ever needs to be fixed.
Shortly after the networking seminar, we caught up for coffee and then dinner. I was so looking forward to hearing all about how he started his plumbing business, because I would like to start my own business some day and I was interested in hearing about his personal journey to success.
What a disaster!
It quickly became very obvious that I was not going to learn anything about how he started his business. All he was interested in was getting me into bed!
Each time I asked him about how he started his own business, he would change the topic to tell me what an attractive woman I was, how I had such a beautiful body and how he wished he could have a woman like me in his life!
Did I mention he was fully aware that I was in a very happy relationship?
“DON’T FALL FOR SOMEONE IF THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF CATCHING YOU”
Never mind the fact that I was clearly not interested in pursuing romance with him, the worst part of his behaviour was that he wasn’t even remotely interested in anything about me, beyond my physical appearance.
It was all about him. He told me that he had just ended a four-year relationship, and that he was ready for a new relationship but not interested in starting a family, because he already had a 12-year-old daughter.
Believe it or not, he told me all about being intimate with his ex-girlfriend. I was sitting there thinking to myself that he should be keeping this information to himself and not sharing it with a woman he had just met. Let alone a woman who was clearly not single!
Those three hours with him were some of the longest hours of my life!
If you’re aware of a man’s true intentions, you will choose the right guy to be with. Men are often quite upfront about their intentions. If their intentions don’t match up with your own, don’t waste your time on them!
I didn’t keep in touch with the plumber, but I ran into him on the street the other day and his first question was, “Are you still with your man?” My answer to him was, “YES! I’m still very happy and very much attracted to him.” His response, “He’s one hell of a lucky guy.”
I can’t say I disagree, I believe we are lucky to have found each other.
Treat me like a game, and I’ll show you how to play!
Now it’s your turn to share your stories. Have you encountered a man who is only physically attracted to you? I would love to hear all about it.
