The game we used to play

Flings: It's usually simple and straight forward, but not always understood. Here's a post about what usually happens after a fling.

The victim: The other person. The young at the game, vulnerable lover. People looking for love, but instead ends up finding trouble. A mixture of gullibility and lack of experience might just be the death of you in this game we all play. But unfortunately, there's nothing a player loves more than an easy win. They will target people like this and go in for the easy kill. It makes sense that a person would think to go for easier targets, saving themselves the trouble and have more momentum for other things to be done, all in the name of getting laid.

The player: Can be a dude, can be a girl. But you know, a girl can be called a hooker, a guy can't. So in this case we'll take dudes as the players. The players, all they care about is to get you in their arms for just one night. And after that, leave you alone and never call you back. These people, they're very serious in what they do, not looking for a serious relationship. Ironically, the people they love to target are the people who are very serious for a serious relationship. Depending on how desperate they are, these people will do anything to get you hooked. To them, you're just an ice cream stick. At first you may be useful to them, but once the ice cream's all gone, you'll be thrown away, forgotten.

1) The Bait - First impression is always important. Mushy words will be key, and their goal is to make you fall in love.

2) Hooked - Once that's done, seduction and temptation comes to play. Intoxicate you with drinks and laughter, until you just can't get enough of the person.

3) Reeling in - They will ask you to do something you don't normally do. Keep you vulnerable and giving them full control over you

4) Net it - Putting you in a place the they're comfortable with and you're not. Making you feel that you need them around to keep you comfortable and safe

5) The Kill - Finally, they will have you in their arms, fooled by love. At this point, whether you realizes it or not, they can ask you to do anything they want

6) Pre Gutting - After the person gets what they want, they have no use for you and leave you be just like that, never to see you again.

7) The Trade - There you are, all alone. Feeling so used. The person gets what they want, and you get educated on a thing or two about love. Somehow or rather, it's a win win situation :D

Well, although rare, but there are times when flings are a mutual thing. Both you and that person want the same thing. To have fun with you, then forget it ever happened. It's simple and straight forward, shouldn't be a problem to understand it. But then, once you've played the game for too long, you get tired of it. You feel this emptiness inside, feeling that you truly will, never find love. Destined to stay single forever in this countless flings. And sometimes, that's all you need to change yourself. You start looking for love, afraid that someday you will die a lonely, sad sad person. All because when you were young, you took love for granted. And now, it's messing you up.
