Ahh, the cat and mouse games. This is always a fun subject to talk about. Hopefully I can be of help.
The first thing you have to do is determine what role he's playing. Most people are simple and only play either the cat or the mouse. If he's playing both, you either will never find out, or if you do, you'll be so exacerbated by the games it won't matter at that point. This is likely NOT the latter case.
One you find out what role he's playing, act accordingly. If he's playing the mouse, he probably wants you to make the initial, BIG first move. If you haven't actually spoken on the phone, that might be it. If you haven't gone on an ACTUAL date, that might be it. Whatever is the major thing that hasn't been done, he might want you to do it.
If he's the cat, he probably wants you to give off a little signal of weakness, a sign to him that you are receptive and ready for him to pounce, for lack of a better word.
You might not want to get sucked into the games, but understand, trying to force a person who wants to play the game, to NOT play the game, most likely won't play out in your favor.
These early stages of a relationship are often about give and take, and finding out about one another's personality and other traits. By putting his, in my opinion, rather basic desires first, at this point in time, you might develop a relationship to where he'll later on be on the other side of the coin, acquiescing to something that you desire.
I realize it's a bit of torture right now. Believe me, I've been the unwitting ragdoll in the games and I've played the roll of puppetmaster in my fair share. Just realize that most guys are very INDIRECT with their emotional feelings, but very DIRECT with their physical feelings. A guy is more likely to tell you that he's horny and he wants to have sex than he likes you and he wants to settle down. Hence, why these games are played.
Plus, it's a game. And who doesn't like to win a game. Remember, the most savoring victory is the one where your opponent thinks he's victorious, when in reality, you were winning all along. This time, be the latter, not the former.
