Head Games
Determine how to handle relationships, and what type of actions are appropriate.
Have you ever dated someone that drove you absolutely nuts -- and not in a good way? This person would side-step questions, lie, attempt to "play you", etc? This person is immature and is not ready for any sort of relationship. He/ she is playing head games with you, and therefore, you should really not waste your time. How can I tell if some one is playing head games?

"Me too"

Lies to you

or he/ she runs into you with his/ her friends, but does not introduce you. - he/ she tells you that his/ her friends feel uncomfortable meeting new people (i.e. you), but you find out later that they wanted to meet you the entire time.
