On that note, just playing games:
Head games. Making you chase them and put all the effort in while they refuse to give any back. Doesn’t matter how amazingly beautiful they are. Is not worth it. Took me a long time to realize this.
Insecurity
Lack of confidence, can’t hold eye contact, overly self-conscious.
If we are talking and she can’t confidently look me in the eye without looking down every 5 seconds — immediate turn off.
If we are talking and she isn’t clear and assertive about who she is, her interests, and dreams — also a turn off.

Insecurity. The tangled webs that can weave. Believe it or not, I do know and want to spend time with others in my life. I do need me time. You don’t need me holding your hand to go out in public by yourself. If I spend an hour on the phone laughing and cutting up with a friend or family member I haven’t spoken to in months and only gave you a run down of my day, it’s not because I don’t love you, it’s because we don’t have months to catch up on. Etcetera!
Being overly clingy and/or needy:
I can’t deal with having to “check in” every 2 hours or constantly having to apologise for not being attentive enough.
