Just personally, I believe one can be over-eager but I don't really get over-available. I'd never lie and pretend I had plans in order to seem aloof or something, that's game playing and too high school for me.

I think on a subconscious level it maybe impacts how someone is viewed but don’t think it’s a massive factor

I don’t know if you’re male or female but if you’re a woman go read Why Men Love Bitches. There’s a section on this topic that explains the problem very well. To sum it up for you, men will value you more if you have a life of your own. Maybe he asks you if you’re free last minute and you say “Oh sorry, I have my pottery class/pilates class/book club meet up tonight!” People want people who have their own interesting and fulfilling lives. It’s not so much a game as it is allowing yourself to be a full person with a busy schedule.

I think I would be offended if someone would not ditch pottery to have dinner with me. Fucking boring

Sounds like a high school teenager’s theory

I was on the course with my mentor this week for a business related event. All the men continually thought we were the cart girls and asked us to fetch them things despite being in a regular golf cart and wearing our (not beverage or course) company polos. Part of me wants to just say “it was hot anyone could make that mistake!” But part of me also feels like it was sexist and, based on prior experiences, it’s hard not to feel that way. Thoughts on and advice for these situations?

My old side piece and I have been over for a minute now. It was fun until we fell for each other. We are both 'happy'in our current relationships.

He video chat me, and now texts frequently. But he only texts when he's at work or in his car, when his girlfriend isn't around. Does this mean anything?
