The game’s on! No, not football. A different game. You know how a guy isn’t supposed to call a girl the day after a date even if he really likes her? That’s the “game.”
That’s how I knew Kiefer was a keeper. He called the day after our first date.
I’m not a fan of “the game.” Be honest and straightforward. Don’t play. It’s my heart, not a toy.
Catherine over at Simply Solo watched Two Can Play That Game. Because I hadn’t seen it and because it was on Netflix Instant Viewing and because I had nothing better to do, I watched it.
Here’s what I learned:
- The CIA is nothing compared to a woman with a plan.
- Men want a lady in public and a freak in private.
- If your man messes up and knows it, when he tries to explain, be polite. It will confuse him.
Having been cheated on before, it’s always nice to know the warning signs. So here are the most important things I learned from the movie. Two of the Signs Your Man is Cheating are…
- He buys new underwear.
- He says the perfume on his shirt is from his mom’s hug.

Often we are our own worst enemy. It takes insight and practice to break out of the cycle.

•The CIA is nothing compared to a woman with a plan.
I just thought that one bears repeating. Another sign that a man is cheating is when the perfume smells like a woman with a plan.

Kiefer is a keeper.

True love and a man who calls. I’d say you definitely hit the jackpot.
I hit the jackpot too, my guy and I held hands on our first date, I was like awwww, he likes me!

I was never that high maintenance, so I never really kept track of whether a guy called the next day or not. I say this in explaining that I have no recollection of my hubs calling or not after our first date. I am going to chalk it up to me being incredibly laid back and “hey, whatever dude!”, and NOT to being old and forgetful. Nope!

Hahaha I love it! That move taught me all I know about dating. Okay, maybe that’s a problem.
Thanks for sharing my post!! Did you actually like the movie? For some reason I have such a soft spot in my heart for that movie 
October 4th, 2012 at 10:09 am
Love this. Between your blog post and “He’s Just Not That Into You,” I have a whole new outlook on dating, or at least I feel like we have the same one, so I have some back up.
I hate games and I refuse to play them, even if it means that I could miss out. My friends think I’m crazy but just like I won’t play games, I also won’t just go out with someone because he’s single and so am I- I need to feel something, and if I don’t, I won’t force it! Thanks!

Glad to help out! Who has time for games? I have better things to do with my time.

I keep telling my wife that’s why I’ve never bought new underwear our entire marriage. I don’t want her to worry.
October 9th, 2012 at 9:03 am
That is so considerate of you!
October 4th, 2012 at 10:53 am
Have a few more rules taken from the experience of friends. How do you know he’s cheating? !1) He suddenly starts putting the toilet seat down. 2) you come on from work early and he has a women in the bed.
October 9th, 2012 at 9:03 am
#2 totally happened to me! Looking back on it, the whole thing was kinda funny. But not at the time.
October 9th, 2012 at 9:20 am
Yea that kind of thing is never funny at the time. Thank God it’s way funny year later. Glad the beotch in the bed didn’t happen to me or I’d be writing my blog from death row.

hah. “He says the perfume on his shirt is from his mom’s hug.” haha. yeah. whose mom wears that much perfume? i mean, really. and anyway: everyone knows moms love any and all bath & body works creams. any man that really knows his mom knows that. LIER.

Haha I think being polite is the perfect way to go because bamboozling men is fun

Sometimes we buy new underwear when we don’t want to do laundry.
October 9th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Guys do that, too?
October 4th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
I. Love. Two Can Play That Game.
However, Three Can Play That Game is total crap. (That’s a real movie.)
October 9th, 2012 at 9:04 am
That’s a real movie? Yikes!
October 9th, 2012 at 10:03 am
An embarrassing attempt at a sequel. Just doesn’t uphold the “Two Can Play That Game” brand, you know?

I better inspect my boyfriend’s underwear and hope that he’s been wearing the same ones since we started dating.
October 9th, 2012 at 9:05 am
Kiefer has 7 pairs…one for each day of the week, so I’ll know if a new one makes an appearance: “WHY ARE THERE TWO WEDNESDAYS?” Just kidding…maybe….
October 5th, 2012 at 11:22 am
I’ve never heard of that movie! I’m with you though, I was never into “the game”–who has time for that kind of nonsense?
October 5th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
I’m sooo glad my boyfriend has enough underwear to last him a lifetime!
October 5th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Yeah, I never got “the game”… probably why I was single most of my life. I’m glad I didn’t settle, though.
I like to think that people who cheat and play games and… all that, are just really, really really, really bored with life, and want to pretend their secret agents. They always seem surprised to find out their the bad guy, though…
October 6th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Yeah, all the game playing sucks but I think it is all in attempts to protect the heart, the heart is such a fragile part of us and we do silly things to avoid it getting hurt. I did giggle though, I mean, if a guy says, “It’s my mom’s perfume.”Well, RUN, just RUN fast and far, well, after you give a good swift smack!
October 7th, 2012 at 9:27 am
Ah yes, The Game. I was never very good at it.
October 7th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Ugh. Dating is confusing enough and people are stupid.
The Game just lets them act stupider. Down with The Game!!

Since mine takes me shopping anytime he buys new clothes… I’d know. Plus If he wants someone else – good luck mutha fucka… I am the shit. You will never replace me, no game needed
(Do I sound like I mean it? Goood.)
