Trickery goes hand in hand with lying and deceit. No one should have to resort to using "Psychological tactics" to get their way.

Well...It's never "good" to trick people in any way, that includes psychologically.

Until they've fallen for you and you are in a totally committed relationship.

I think the Op is talking about "the dating game" and working with the "laws of attraction".

It's a game, it's deceitful, it's a mind game, and if you don't play it you are probably going to lose.

If you have this sort of attitude, you really can't complain if you're lied to or betrayed in the relationship. This seems really unhealthy to me.

What about things there seems nothing wrong about using it like deciding to wait asking a company a question till about a month after a period you could expect they will be very busy (?) (to avoid a negative or short answer) Or maybe in such cases there should be used the describtion 'using psychology'.

That's not playing a psychological game - that is being respectful of another person's busy schedule.
