Nah. I buy the part about having to work for it. I don't buy that playing games is the way to get what you want. Never have, never will.
I never played my ex's games and he still seems to want to be with me, even though I've moved on. I was the one that did all the emotional work. So, nope, not buying.
Plus, if I have to play games, I'd rather stay single. Just not going to mess with someone's head, like I don't want anyone to mess with mine.
I do think a way to work at the relationship and make it more valuable to both partners can be achieved without the garbage of making them think you're with someone else. But it has to be done all along. Once I have to pretend to be dating someone else, I'm totally checked out.
