I pretend to like her long enough to have sex with her. After her annoying habits outweigh the sex then I start to drift. Then the chick gets mad at me for playing games with her
Well, that's dishonest and shows a lack of honor on your part. When I was young and single, I don't think I ever led a girl on. And if a girl asked for some level of commitment / wanted to know where they stood with me before intimacy (which happened a few times), I was honest. Not blunt or rude, just honest that I liked them enough to enjoy my time with them, but wasn't looking to settle down. From your perspective, this might have cost me a little short term pleasure, but my integrity was intact and I was able to maintain friendly relationships with almost all of them... And I can say I've gone through my life to this point without having created many enemies.
To the OP: I used to be super easy going and had many friends, and generally saw the best in everyone. Like most, as I've gotten older and taken my lumps in various ways & become a little world weary, a bit of cynicism has set in. I'm more inclined to see the angles some people have in their interactions. I don't think I dislike people more now, but I probably like some a little less... though I generally still wish them well. I guess I just don't have the youthful enthusiasm of meeting new people that I used to. And I'm a little more judicious with my time & energy.

This is another thing I’ve learned over the years. Many people you interact with seem to have some angle. Pay attention to how much people like to talk about themselves vs talk about you and your life.
I’ve noticed when you interact with people your age there seems to always be some angle of comparison games. When you interact with people much older than you there’s two types. Type A is jealous of you. Type B wants to help you and share their wisdom and experiences.
