Why do women play these games?

I asked this girl last week if we could be exclusive. She responded, "I'm not ready for that." I said, "Okay, we can just keep hanging out like we have been."

Then, this past weekend, she wanted to go to the movies. She's not my girlfriend, so I simply told her I was busy — and I actually was.

Yesterday, she said to me, "You've been avoiding my texts. What's going on?"

So now I'm supposed to respond to her texts even when I'm busy? I'm supposed to drop everything to message her back? She's not my girlfriend.

Then this morning, she said, "I'm ready to make a commitment."

Now she knows she has me. Honestly, I don't think I can do better than her, and I don’t want to be single. I was really hurt when she said she wasn’t ready, especially because I had turned down two attractive women, thinking she felt the same way I did.

Honestly, I was ready to say "F*** it." I wasn’t chasing after any woman. But I have f***ed up with so many good women with my dgaf attitude. The older I am, the more difficult it becomes to find a good woman. I really want to make this work, so I'm going to stop being a controlling a-hole. Lord help me 🙏.
