But not mind games and playing with their insecurities.

I don't think Dan played mindgames, I think he actually thought CB weren't serious about their affection for each other. He didn't really know them at that point, or how seriously their relationship was especially after what happened in season 1. Vanessa completely instigated based on her own feelings of vengence and planted a seed of doubt in Dan's mind. I just cannot stand her

Yes, CB might do that to people, but they are aware that's what they do and they don't act like they are above it. That is the difference. If you talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk.

Well I think Vanessa is worse than Dan in that regard. She hasnt grown whatsoever this season and has continuously displayed her hypocrisy. She acts as if she's morally superior than the rest and she has no standards (sleeping with Chuck for revenge, desparately taking whatever crumbs she could get from Nate at any point he offered her a bone). And IMO compared to the other characters Dan has a right to act as if he's above it since hes the only one with standards.
