As Bugs Bunny says "Of course you know, this means war"

So here we are, after having sex with a man we realize we have an attachment to, feelings for...or something.. basically we just like him...and we're fucked.  We are in No Man's Land, literally. If we are honest, and express our feelings, we've surrendered. We need to play the game. What is the game you ask?  To attract the man you like, without sending him into a hasty retreat. We start to develop a strategy.  But that is the antithesis of what we need, which is love. Game playing creates facades and misperceptions, which later, if you do have a more committed relationship. are revealed and create mistrust and disillusionment. So what to do? Do we risk negotiations for peace or do we enter into battle?  Peace negotiations rarely work, they get their "peace" of ass and all we get is the DMZ. So the first line of battle is the No Contact Approach. Do not call, do not text him, if he texts you (because he certainly won't call you, he doesn't want to hear your voice, that is why men developed texting, one more way to remove the emotion from the equation)  wait....if you do text him back, feign disinterest, proceed with the sham attack.  If he sexts you, tell him to call you. if he has any balls, balls which you have already in great detail, described to your girlfriend...their roundness, their peachy colors, their manscaping, their lack of manscaping...if  he has any balls, he will call. And if he doesn't call,  Game Over.  Are you "man" enough to do that?  Not likely, because our fear of loneliness overpowers our common sense.  We break down, we text him, we email him, we facebook stalk him...until all possibility of ever having an erotic encounter with him again vanishes. Game Over. Men want to hunt, and if we take away their drive, they don't feel like a man.  And one thing that all men want, is to feel like a man, in bed, out of bed, at work, in the car, at home etc.. etc..etc.. And in our 21st century foolery, we have removed that possibility by becoming sexually revolutionized and easily captured.  And now we are a prisoner of war.  With a chance for escape, by simply leaving, but for some reason we decide that staying in this prison is better than taking our chances in the lonely civilian world. When you are not playing the game with some sort of soldier..you are alone.Whether the game is functional or dysfunctional, if you are not in the game, somehow, you are alone. And probably lonely.  Because society tells us that if we don't have a man, we must be lonely. And the truth is, we are.
