Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See if he’ll only hang out with you in certain parts of town. See if he’s reluctant to meet your friends or to have you meet his. See if he acts weird if he runs into you in public. See if he’s reluctant to be affectionate with you in public. See if he’s sweet to you one minute and distant the next. See if he would never give up a night with his friends for you. See if he’s shady with his phone.

Answer: One way to know if he’s playing with you is to see if he’s comfortable hanging out with you anywhere or if he gets nervous or reluctant if you want to hang out in a new part of town or go on a new adventure. If he acts this way, it may be because he’s been hanging out with other girls in other parts of town and doesn’t want to have any awkward run-ins. If you want to know if he’s playing you, you should casually mention that you want to go to to a different restaurant, different movie theatre, or another public park in town to see if it makes a difference to him.  If he’s really playing you, then he probably has his balancing act down to an art. If you try to change his usual schedule, then you may be able to call his bluff. Ask yourself if he’s always the one who decides where you should go. Of course, he may just want to take charge for other reasons, but this could be a giveaway that he wants to steer you away from places where you’re likely to run in to some of his other ladies. If your guy never wants to meet your friends, it may be because he doesn’t want to make the relationship a serious commitment. If he doesn’t want you to meet his friends, it may be for the same reason, with the additional worry that his friends may say something about the other girls he’s seeing. Whether he’s seeing someone else or not, if you’ve been together for a while and he’s shown no interest in wanting to meet your friends or have you meet his, then it’s a red flag.  If he doesn’t want to become a bigger part of your life, then it’s because he doesn’t want things to get too serious. That said, if you try to rush him into meeting your friends, or even your family, after just a few weeks of dating, then you may be moving too fast. He may have legitimate reasons for taking things slow, like wanting to make sure he knows where things stand, or giving his friends some time to get used to the idea of him having a new girlfriend because he recently got out of a serious relationship. If things are great when you and your guy are alone and he suddenly gives you the cold shoulder when you run into him at the mall or outside a restaurant, then something is definitely up. Either he’s acting weird because he’s seeing another girl and doesn’t want to be seen with you, or because he doesn’t want his friends or anyone else to think he’s dating you. Either way, this should be a cause for concern.  If he really cares for you, then he should be excited to see you and should even show you some affection. Of course, he doesn’t have to be as affectionate in public as he would be in private, but he should act like he really wants to see you. Check out his body language. Does he make eye contact and move toward you? If so, then that’s a good sign. But if he stands away from you, crosses his arms over his chest, and keeps looking around instead of looking at you, then this means that he’s trying to keep his distance. If you two go out on a date but he acts like you’re brother and sister, then you should be asking yourself why. If he’s playing you, then he doesn’t want the world to know that he’s seeing you, either because he’s also seeing someone else or he just wants to keep his options open. Though not all guys are into holding hands, for example, he should want to give you some sort of affection if he really cares for you. You don’t want to put the pressure on him to be affectionate in public too early, but if you’ve gone on several dates and he still stands a foot away from you any time you’re out together, then this may be a cause for concern. If he’s all loving, sweet, kind, and wanting to kiss you one minute and then the next, he acts like he barely knows who you are, then this may be because he’s playing with you. Maybe he’s in the mood to hang out with you on certain days, while he thinks he has better things to do on others. Whether this means he’d rather hang with another girl or spend time with his buddies, if he’s always hot and cold, then he’s definitely playing with you. Think about it: does he often leave you feeling confused about what he really feels about you or where you stand with him? If so, then this may be because he’s playing with your emotions. If the guy is playing with you, then he’ll never think that you come first with him. He would always spend a night out with his buddies, but when it comes to you, he’ll only hang out with you on certain times, when you suspect that his friends might be busy or that he has nothing else on his social calendar. If he really likes you, then he’ll think of you as a priority, not as social sloppy seconds. If you want to know if he’s playing with you, see if he’ll ever give up a night with his friends for a nice evening with you. If the guy is serious about you, then he should be excited about hanging out with you instead of his friends, at least some of the time. Though you don’t want him to give up his other friends or his social life for you completely, if he makes no compromises for you at all, then it may be because he’s playing with you. One dead giveaway that a guy is playing with you is that he’s very secretive when it comes to his phone. If he’s always checking his phone and then texting away from your direction, stepping out to take calls a lot without telling you who called, or goes hours without picking up his phone with no explanation, then it may be because he’s playing you. Of course, some guys are protective about their privacy and that’s perfectly normal, but if he’s always on his phone and you never know what he’s doing, then it may be a red flag that he’s playing you.  Think about it: does he ever leave his phone out, even for a second, or is it always stuck in his pocket? Though you don’t want to snoop through it, if you can tell that he’s freaked out even about the idea of you seeing who is calling or texting him, then you may have a problem. Another thing you can look out for is if he turns off his phone completely when he’s hanging out with you. Though this may be a sweet gesture to give you his full attention, it may also be his way of warding off other girls who might be calling him when you’re together.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider whether you think about him or her every minute of every day. Notice your daydreaming. Note how music leaves you feeling.

Answer:
If you try to stop it, you just can't. He or she has altered your mind somehow and you can't get him or her out of there, everywhere you go and anytime of the day that's all your imagination has in store for you, more of him or her. You sit down for a while and start writing, until you run out of ideas and you start to daydream about him/her and you like it. Until the point when someone snaps you out of it and you go back to reality. Your daydreams seem timeless and you imagine that you and him or her are the only two people in the world. You start listening to slow love songs, and those songs explain a sweet love story and strangely remind you of him or her. Then it becomes your favorite type of music for a long while. You listen to those songs again and again and you just can't get enough, pretty soon you'll know every single one of the lyrics.
