I was thinking today...Normally I use routines or what not and am a huge c/f ball buster when I first meet girls or am attracting them normally. My girl has the same personality and all her other male friends do it to her like little kids that like each other on the playgrounde. However once I'm in a relationship and I like the person, I usually get away from all that and tell the person how I feel or reciprocate their feelings toward me cause I feel it builds more of a emotional connection which as you know is super powerful. Is this right for relationship game?

Of course...you can't bust on her forever...but just dont get too needy or dependent on her...show her you care...compliment her from time to time...you are there...but not always there.

Getting her is one part of the equation...the other is keeping her with you BOTh happy.

Read some of the advice given on the board regarding this...especially the ones where our boys show too much neediness or are on the verge of losing her...there is good advice here.

Relationships are work...hands down...but they are also great...I would say it's why a majority of us are here...eventually, we want the right girl for us but we need to have the ability and resources (Game) to go and select her...not her pick us out of a lottery bowl!

It's actually incredible how many people even ASK that question.

Of course it is normal! Why it is called a relationship? When you are together with a girl, you don't need all the games anymore. LTR is no pick up.

You should only be aware of some basic rules: (i) make sure her interest level is a bit above yours; (ii) don't be TOO good; (iii) don't be boring; (iv) have good sex

You can, you SHOULD, tell her she's a nice person. even better is SHOWING her instead of telling. Actions speak louder than words.

You honestly think that being an asshole who doesn't talk to the girl for a whole week is a nice characteristic? It works only when gaming a girl. Not in a LTR.

I totally agree with both cedius and Apocalyptica.
1) Don't play any games when you're in a relationship
2) Compliment her only from time to time, you don't want her to get used to it
3) Be there but not always
- When she texts you, take sometime to reply
- Don't show her that you're so into her
4) Be cool around her friends and her social circle

Jay dog is right, you dont need to be jumpy. Love can overwhelm you and you can get in a pretty clichè spot so try to act cool and show her that you care but dont be to clingy.
