Love Games – Tips on How to Avoid Getting Hurt by Them

Most people when they enter into a relationship do not do so with the mind to hurt another person. Relationships are supposed to be fun, respectful and an exciting experience. Pure and innocent love games can spice up a dating relationship e.g. a practical joke or making fun of one another. But when these innocent and pure love games cross over into something more sinister they should be avoided.

When the games become hurtful and damaging to someone’s self esteem or worse still attempt to play with another person’s emotional wellbeing you have to ask yourself whether maintaining the relationship is worth it.

If this is occurring than you need to take personal precautions that will considerably lessen the risks of being hurt almost beyond repair. In fact you should just end it immediately. Think of it as having a shield against heartaches for the future.

Here are some tips on what to look out for and how to safeguard yourself.

Put Them into Their Proper Perspective

First and foremost, you have to put the love games into perspective – are these games pure and harmless fun or are they dangerous and mind controlling in nature. Flirt innocently if you have to, but remember that it is a game between opposite sexes which could lead to what you are not expecting or worse still what you cannot stop.

If you must invest your emotions in love games, be sure you know what your intentions are. The outcome should be something you are proud and not something that will make you feel ashamed.

Know Who You are

A confident person who is self assured does not need to play silly love games. They know how to respect themselves and others. When your value system acknowledges it is a basic human right to feel of worth you will not deliberately go out of your way to hurt anybody. In short, because you know who you are you will not enter into anything that will devalue you or another person.

Equally, when you are confident in yourself there is very little that can hurt you in the game of life because you know the substance of what you are made of, especially if you have a life based on Christian values. It is these values which help you to learn how to shield your weaknesses and use your strengths to avoid being hurt. It may be on the overly cautious side to respond in this manner but when your heart is at stake, it is better to be cautious than sorry.

Learn To Love Yourself

The best tip to avoid getting hurt in love games is to love yourself unconditionally. Accept your flaws and failings. Develop your strengths. Love yourself like you would your dearly beloved. You will find that when you love yourself, you will not allow others to love you

any less. Remember you cannot offer love to another person unless you understand what love is and are able to love yourself

This is not narcissism, believe me. This is simply an acknowledgment of the fact that no one on Earth can ever know and love you the way you do yourself! After all, you live with yourself on a 24/7 basis. A life in Christ helps you to have a true value of self as God has ordained it.

And so, when engaged in love games of any kind, always have pure love and respect of another person in mind. When you do this you will avoid games which hurt others deliberately. The focus can then be on the positive aspect of a relationship of getting to know someone and having fun.

With this a focus you are more than likely to be able to find the person of your dreams. Now, that is what we call making yourself the most blessed person on Earth!
