Long Game
Playing the long game in a relationship isn't when 2 people have a goal to be together but the timing isn't always right. They might live far apart, have age differences, or be at different stages of their life.

They don't have to be exclusive but they also don't have to see other people. You make your own rules.

Long Term Game
Long Term Game, or LTG, involves planting the seeds for a hook-up long before you intend to harvest the fruits. As opposed to a one night stand, LTG is just getting your foot in the door, even if the plan is weeks, months or even years away from being completed.

LTG is often employed by women looking to ride the gravy train in life, locking up a wealthy older man who will take care of them.

"Are you going home with that guy?"
"Nope, it's LTG all the way. He wants me, but I am going to make him work for it and ring me first."
