A Player or For Real?

got this from lhouie's sis -- elaine.. :)

thanks! :)

How can you tell if a boy's a player or for real?

Imagine you're really brilliant at tennis. Done? Okay, now imagine you're facing Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

When Andy whacks his balls at you really hard, will you 1) just stand there and take it or 2) whack the balls back even harder? Number two is the right answer, because the only way to beat a good player is to play him at his own game.

You may as well assume all boys are players - for self-protection. They're not, of course. But unfortunately most girls don't want to get off with nasty love-rats, so players have to disguise themselves as nice, normal boys in order to pull.

Once you've bagged your boy, you need to test the "All Boys are Players" theory.

This isn't always easy. Some boys dedicate their entire existence to the pursuit of girls. I'm not exaggerating; these lads take things very seriously. They'll put in so much effort you'll think they want your babies, when actually they just want your boobies.

So a player is tough to detect. You could try grilling him about his exes, but he'll probably smooth-talk his way around it. His mates will know the truth, but they'll be as helpful as an underwater hairdryer.

So we're back to tennis. Play him: namely by demanding lots of commitment and giving very little back. If he's carrying your bags home from school every day and you're not even inviting him in for a sandwich, chances are he actually likes you and isn't just trying to get in your pants.

There are other tests you could carry out, like making him hand-feed you Wotsits or dance like a cartoon chicken, but that would just be cruel.

Once he's proved himself, you should start being nice to him. Give him his sandwich, pat him on the head, or get a bit more creative. He's not a player, he's your BF! Woo!
