Witholding all your lovey-dovey feelings doesn't mean you are "playing games". Coming on too fast and too strong can hurt a relationship. There have been studies about self-disclosure and the beginings of relationships that confirm this. (An interesting sidebar - men were more negatively regarded from spilling everything too early than women were). You can be honest without proclaiming your undying love or what have you.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
