Blanche is always playing mind games. I don't really think that she knows her end game or what exactly she hopes to accomplish. She flirts with Stanley and dismisses him. She is attracted to Stanley and claims she is repulsed by him. I think this indicates Blanche as a very emotionally needy and insecure person.
