ma·nip·u·late:

to control or play upon by artful, unfair, or insidious means especially to one's own advantage I just want to let you know that I am on to your game. You may think what you are doing right now is keeping you close to me. Once I get my shit together, it is just going to make it easier for me to get you out of my life. So I hope you are enjoying this shallow relationship we have, becaue it won't go on forever. That I promise you. Smilie for the Day:
