JJG, your post just make me think, a lot. Over a few glass of wines.
Maybe too many glasses...? hahahaha... Sometimes though we may need to ponder over these kinds of situations over and over before we come to our right minds, and sometimes further experiences will cause us to reassess and then change our previous conclusions.

I dont know guys, I just feel a bit of melancholy. I told you guys exactly what happened, and you agreed I did things right. She also seemed to enjoy it. Yet I feel like she could slip away at a moment's notice. And it's not even about the girl. I'm lining up a date with another tomorrow.
Well, we know that some girls are more alluring than others, and surely it can help to continue to have dates or meetings or arrangements with other girls because sometimes those kinds of arrangement can improve our opportunities with our target girls... but then sometimes we could screw up our opportunities with our target girls if we play the other girls badly. Ultimately it's your discretion to decide whether having alternative dates is the best course of action.... for example, sometimes I will forgoing on a date with some mediocre girl because I feel that I need to regroup and to reconsider my strategy with the target girl.
Yes, I know that all of my comments here may sound like I am enabling and/or encouraging oneitis, but frequently we may all experience instances in which we feel that it is best to focus on employing strategies with the target girl. Sometimes, my strategy may just be to go to the gym and to work on myself while I think through what is going to be my next play (rather than spending time with a girl in a situation in which I have little to no interest).

It seems like even with game, the best game you can have, you can only have but an illusion of control over the outcome of a relationship.
I think that you are correct, but still you are painting the situation too broadly. Surely, we never really have control over the outcome of a relationship; however, in many instances we are going to have a pretty good idea about the direction of the relationship. Surely in the early stages of any relationship, we are going to have a lot more uncertainties when we are escalating and when we are pushing further and further in the relationship - because we really know for sure at what point a girl may bail or find another relationship and potentially leave us high and dry. In those cases, it will be good to have other relationships and/or NOT be overly invested in the success of that uncertain relationship.

which when you think about it it's fucked up. I'm pretty sure the boyfriend she just broke up with was a complete loser. Some loser just needs to look the right way, show up at the right time and land a hot cute girl, while we have to labor so much and can never be sure of anything.
I don't know if we can assume very much about the extent to which the previous guy was a loser or NOT or what factors swayed the girl in previous relationships. Probably, we just need to focus on our part and the information that we have and working on whether the girl is going to be a good fit for us and how much energy we want to expend towards attempting to achieve whatever results that we want to get from the girl. Certainly, we all know it is dangerous to get too caught up in one girl and the situations of one girl because then like my avatar we will be too much tempted to put the girl on a pedestal which is neither good for her or for our relationship with her. And, for some reason , we do have this tendency to get caught up with girls more and to put them on pedestals more when we perceive them as "hot."

I have my fun with game and it gives me a lot of moments of glory like the last date, but in the end I always have to ask "what next" I simply couldnt just sit back and relax and have a loving faithful white girlfriend in my arms.
I cannot tell if you are rationalizing here or if you really believe what you are saying. Surely, we have to decide whether we are looking for a long term relationship or a one night stand or a girl to rotate in a sort of harem or maybe a 3 to 6 month relationship. Even when I am very attracted to some girls, I tend to get tired of a large number of girls after a few months; however, there may be times in which guys will find the girls to be more interesting and fulfilling etc.etc. and maybe a longer term relationship may be suitable.

I guess that's the irony of game. When you do have a girlfriend like that (mine is, just not white
) you get bored with her and start looking left and right, and you get discontent.
That's also a danger in picking up girls in the dance scene and continuing to go out dancing because you will continue to meet girls that are going to seem more alluring than the girl you are banging and then you are going to need to decide whether you can juggle multiple or whether you need to give one of them up.

I guess people like us will forever be in quest of happiness because we are not meant to seek happiness, we are meant for success, achievement and self-transcendence. All of that mean never be satisfied and complacent with our life and always looking for what could be better
I think that there can be quite a bit of variation. I have fallen into several several long term relationships, and there may have been circumstances in which those relationships could have been right for me at the time... but it did NOT happen for me.. and maybe some luck involved..... but I think that a lot of people, even guys who employ game, can get caught up (willingly or possibly less than willingly) into a long term relationship.... and maybe even reconsider his thoughts about game or how much value there is in employing it. I believe however that a large number of guys in this forum believe that even in long term relationships there can be a lot of value in continuing to employ various game tactics and strategies.

I guess there's a bit of envy in that. They never have to think and have to wonder what next, all the while blind to the truth around them. Truly ignorance is a bliss.
I don't really buy into any descriptions that relationships are either red or blue or black or white.. .because I consider a lot of interactions as more nuanced. Surely, some kinds of strategies to allow the women to call all the shots and to be cow towing to the beck and call of a woman would NOT be an advisable strategy, but there may be a lot of areas in which guys may need to reconsider compromises in circumstances in which he is spending a lot of time and business interactions with one woman.
