Playing games isn&#x27;t new to the dating scene - among people who don&#x27;t date well.<p>This didn&#x27;t start with texting - phone calls, second dates, rules about a certain number of dates before sex. All bullshit.<p>People who play those games are not people who are good at dating and never have been. They seem to think everything is a power play, or a formula stat-keeping event. You can&#x27;t build a functional relationship with someone you are always attempting to keep score with.
