Just a little mistake

Dating takes a lot of skill. From stating interest to making an appointment to actual execution takes work. And, of course, anything that takes that much work leaves a lot of room for mistakes.

In this article, two relationship experts state that the biggest mistake single make is approaching dating as a game which leads to a lot more games which they said is a no-no.

Here's a few of the mistakes or "games" the experts said that we make when dating: playing hard to get, acting mysterious, building up a man's ego, portraying Prince Charming, pursuit and capture, using financial status as a measuring stick and keeping a woman guessing.

Now, the reason these are called mistakes is because, in the end, you really haven't focused on knowing the actual person or letting them know you. You have just focused on "getting" them. You have basically created an image that usually dissipates sometime after the honeymoon phase of a relationship. And then you're stuck with the choice of having to learn the person all over again as who they really are or moving on because it wasn't what you believed it to be.

Which, if any, of the common "mistakes" have you made? Do you view it as a mistake or a necessary part of dating?
