lots of things... but the first that came to mind is that I feel I'm too old to be playing around (eg. with other people's feelings...) not that it's ever ok to do that, just feel I don't have the time and energy for games anymore and when I meet people that think otherwise, I calmly walk away...
It doesn't always have to be a mean game-playing, it might as well be a part of flirting/chase me/so many want me-you should try to compete and win me etc. etc. etc. For some people it's part of dating and that's fine. I just feel I prefer a bit more straight forward communication...
