Can you play your cards as well as Annie Duke or Evelyn Ng? Maybe not in actual Texas Hold 'Em but what about when it comes to dating?One of the biggest disasters for a girl is showing her cards too soon. I'm not referring to being closed off, emotionally unavailable or a concrete case of emotion, rather I'm referring to showing your interest (or our goodies) too far ahead of time. Let's face it, the best stories, relationships, and movies that give you the butterflies and a feeling of excitement have a sense of mystery and chase involved.
Bare with me, this is more of a lesson learned rather than a rant. No matter what, or how great his dimples are, or witty his comments were, DO NOT SHOW ALL YOUR CARDS. It can be as literal as not sleeping with him or as figurative as keeping an air of mystery about yourself.
Girls, guys love the chase.
Guys, girls love to be chased. Even the strong independent girls.
There are some things that will just never change. This is one of them. Sure, it's the 21st century and women can do the same things men can. But I stand firm on this one. Go ahead, call him. Text him. But you loose a little bit of that upper hand.
This is just an observation. I would love love love to be proved wrong here. If you disagree, leave a comment. Otherwise, take this little tidbit. No matter how great it was to meet him, wait for him to ask/respond/say hey/wink/whatever. Please also keep in mind, guy time is slow, but not that slow. If he's interested, he'll make it a point to get in touch with you.
Let me be clear here, this isn't foolproof. I'm running on my assumption that men have a need to take the lead. So there it is boys...man up!
