Dear Madalena Clonada,

People often refer to relationships as a "game", with rules and strategies, etc., etc. I think that can be an accurate analogy, and there are many similarities, but you have to stop thinking about it that way sometimes. Look, a relationship should be a mature interaction between 2 individuals for the benefit of both. If your boyfriend doesn't care about you, it is not a good thing, and gamesmanship probably won't help. You can try to make him jealous, you can dress provocatively, you can stroke him where he's sensitive,........where was I going with this?

Oh yeah, talk with him and see if there are any misunderstandings between the two of you. If he really doesn't give a shit about you, then get the heck out of there and find someone who can get horny at the drop of a hat. I know there's a bunch of horndogs and nice guys (not mutually exclusive) out there who would care about you.
