Running Game - How Long Will She Be Around?

Running game is about weeding out the duds and the women who are too much work. It isn't about building a relationship so that you'll be monogamous, living together, married, and then raising children together.

As such, once you're into your groove as far as running game, and you're attracting women, it's no big deal when some women stop seeing you, or you need to stop seeing them, after a while. If you're doing really well, some will drop off the list simply because you don't have time for them because you're too busy with other, more attractive, more enjoyable women. That's peak game.

For most men, in most situations, the best of the relationship has already been experienced during the first three to six months anyway.

If she won't see you again, or you need to drop her, there's no need to spend any time being upset about it. You don't try to "make it work" or "win her back" or go to counseling or therapy with her. You simply move on, seeing other women or picking up new candidates. It's better to be alone than stop running game and cater to the demands of a woman. If you run game well, you won't be "alone" for long. You'll have your pick of dates. Never let on to women if you are in a slump or dry spell.

Conversely, a woman can be on your list or in your bullpen for YEARS if she's willing, stays attractive and enthusiastic, doesn't cause problems, doesn't start trying to enforce demands, etc. But what are the odds of that???

Some women will remove themselves from further dating. Reasons may include:

• She doesn't think you are compatible
  
• She is going chaste/monogamous/got engaged/married
• She tried to retrieve your sperm from the trash and got hot sauced
  
• You weren't available during holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
• She's spending her time trying for a guy she thinks has more money/power/fame than she thinks you have
  
• She wants to go out on expensive dates with you after you established a booty call groove
• She wants you to pay bills that are her responsibility or make expensive purchases for her and you won't do it
  
• She wants you to live together or propose and it's clear you're not going to do it 
• She otherwise wants more from you and you're not providing it
  

She might want to see you again after a short (or not so short) time away. As long as you can stick to the tactics of running game, and you still would be interested in seeing her, then go see her if you'd like. Just stick to the game.

There are reasons you should make the decision to stop seeing a woman, even if you've had great dates, and those may include:

• Strike three: you had three dates and she never brought you satisfaction
• After establishing the relationship as physical, she has denied you 
• She somehow pulls back on the affection (gets lazy, gets more restricted)
• She turns you off or insists on trying things that you find to be a turnoff or otherwise don't want to do
  
• She has turned down seeing you a third time (don't try again - only see her if she initiates inviting you over)
• She won't do what you want without you meeting some new demand*
  
• She is abusive (have zero tolerance for her assaulting you or breaking your stuff)
• She makes allegations of abuse against you or anyone else
  
• She gets clingy, starts stalking you or playing private investigator, or tries to get into your life beyond the dates
  
• Some other guy knocked her up
• You think she's trying to get pregnant (doesn't apply if you've had a vasectomy)
  
• She's getting bitchy
• She's butching up
• She's getting fat 
• She's otherwise letting herself go or you've lost attraction to her
  
• She develops a chronic or serious illness that interferes (remember, she's just a date, not a wife)
  
• She brings drama to your life or causes scenes in public
• You found out she's out of the target group or has moved out of the target group
• She otherwise gets difficult, unpleasant, or becomes too much work
  

*Note: If she's still willing to keep satisfying you, it doesn't matter what "demands" she makes. For example, if she says she's not doing anything anymore without an engagement ring, but she still continues to have you over for satisfying visits, then keep seeing her if you'd like. Just never ever give her a ring. What women say and what they do are often two different things. If she actually stops doing what you like in an attempt to get you to do something like spend more time, money, effort on her, or cede any of your freedom, or stray from running game, stop seeing her unless and until she reverts or relents.

Remember that you have better things to do than having to do what you don't want to do, and if you're running game well, you have plenty of other options for company. Even if you're in a dry spell, remember that it's better to be in no relationship than a bad one.
