Hey guys!

Met a cute girl last weekend over at my friends house.
Had some nice convo and a bit of kino going - made a timebridge
when I mentioned I play badminton from time to time.

So anyways.. the date is on for tomorrow.

I've played this pretty C&F.
"I dont take prisoners..."
"You'd better put on a helmet.."

And she coming back real nice:
"Im Sooo gonna kick your ass.."

So what do I do?
Ive played for a couple of years..
Should I bee brutal and just show her the road to looosersville,
or let her win some?

My plan spontanius plan is to just make sure we have a good time..
But what are the characteristics a girl is most looking for?
A man of mercy? Or a man of brutality?

Make her have fun. I've had tennis 'dates' with girls before and although I could of probably beat them 6-0 playing with my shoe as a racket, I kept it under control so that she would enjoy it too. I did a few neat tricks here and there, but nobody likes to lose bad. If she's the type, you can even show her stuff (kino included!), but don't over do it.

Good luck.

I can't get the image of my highschool math teacher out of my head, he was the badminton coach, and he would say that kinda stuff

The teasing is great, that's probably the best way of going at it before the game, but tone it down a bit during the game. Do what was said above, and try to get it to finish as equally as possible, even if there's a risk of losing, it doesn't even matter, you can say 'pff i let you win, what kind of gentleman would i be if i kicked your ass?'

either way, win or lose, you can easily set another badminton date, as a 'rematch' since it was so close, the tables could turn next time. If you want to escalate to something more romantic - a day before the second date, say you injured your knee or some excuse, and change it to something less active. You can even call yourself out on being scared of losing in a joking fashion.

Beat her the first couple of times by only a few points and let her win a couple of times but not by much. The point is to make it fun and memorable.

If you are a lot better then don't get too focused on the game. If you can be having a laugh and enjoying yourself whilst playing well then that is a DHV (You clearly have a talent but you are not trying showing it off )

In regard to letting her win or lose, the outcome doesn't really matter however try to keep the game relatively close so you can have a bit more light hearted competition till the end. If you always win she will get bored.

Mainly... Make it fun and memorable!

Our little match went great.
It was a lot of fun and I couldnt resist beating her. But nicely of course.

Anyways.. she's coming over on sunday with a DVD and its "movie time".
I payed for the badminton telling her she owed me bigtime.
Then she txted asking if she should transfer some money.
I said: "Sounds like you better come over here and watch a DVD and make out some instead.." She said: "Well, that sounds like a plan"..

So here we are.
I love the game.
I just fucking love it.
