There is a girl that I am interested in right now, and I'm not sure if she is interested. I know that her and her friend are really into psychology and trying to find out how people react to situations. This is throwin me off because she gives me what should be interpreted as IOI's but the other part of me is thinking that she is just testing me to see how I'll react (touching my arm, bumping into me). So far, I haven't responded to them. I dunno how to respond to them because I think it might just be her teasing me.

Are these actual IOI's? Am I looking into this too much?

They always play games. That's what girls do just figure out all the games! Then like being a bad ass at Halo 3 you will be a bad ass at playing girls games!

That's a tough situation, man. Hmm. I'd say to not mess with that. Mind games can really screw with you; especially if you are too attracted to this girl.

If you must pursue; don't allow yourself to become too emotionally involved with this girl. She'll burn you. As for whether they are IOI's...if she is bothering to use you as a test subject then yes. From the sounds of it she at least has some interest in you.

Search for "framing methods". It's my favorite part of the game (besides the obvious [{()}] ). If you can master maintaining, and controlling, frames then this girl will be eating out of your hand. Good luck.

I think its hillarious that you don't believe that every other girl you meet is playing mind "games". Notice the quoted word, have any relivance to what you are doing with her? Yeah, they are running game too, you just think its screwing with you because you never knew how to play the game before. Any girl that is playing games with you is showing IOIs and its just like when you run game on a girl, so just use your own game on her and make yours stronger than hers. Its a lot of fun when girls with game play back.

I'm majoring in psychology and trust me they're not trying to mess with your head by SPAM false signs that they've read about in psych. Now if they said they've read "The Game" by Neil Strauss then you've probably got something to look out for. But psych? No.
