idk man umm say "i'll do one nice thing to you everyday" or something like that, and then whenever you see her give her something candy, or a big hug, or some corny childish shit. then she will be expecting something from you everytime you see her. makes things intresting without being totaly nice to her

Met HB 8 or 9 (can't decide yet) a few weeks ago in passing, didn't remember, but she did when we met again last week at a bar that happened to be having karaoke. It was an unusually good and easy situation.

I had mad DHV--she was with friends of mine who were very excited to see me, I came in with a story about something that had happened outside that made me look like a badass, I was all dressed up, I sang really well and had the crowd going nuts.

She was throwing off tons of IOIs--offered half her seat and insisted I share it with her "if her big booty wasn't taking up too much room," talked about how great I looked and kept pulling on my tie (that's always a huge IOI), said many times that I was awesome onstage, kept talking about her cleavage (at one point I had my hand down it for about two minutes), pulled her skirt up a little and talked about how hairy her legs were (when they had CLEARLY been shaven within the last few hours) which of course prompted me to slide my hand up her skirt.

Clearly there was interest, but she also has a really high opinion of herself, so in between laughs and compliments, I leaned on cocky, negs, and push-pull. We fake-bickered a lot and I told our friends we had a love/hate relationship, and at one point I told her "We're either gonna fuck each other's brains out or beat each other's brains out, but either way, it's pretty clear losin our minds for each other."

She responded well to everything, but there was another guy who was much more aggressively after her. She was more into him, and to be honest, since I knew I'd see her again and the guy wasn't the stick-around type, I was more interested in hanging with my friends than trying to out-alpha him.

Anyway, last night she was out with all our friends again. We talked and laughed again, and we were goofing on each other and I made a funny neg and she put her head on my shoulder and batted her eyelashes and said "Aw. I just want you to be nice to me."

How should I have responded to that? Does she really mean that? Because in my experience, girls like her lose interest as soon as that happens. I've had some girls say this before, and I never know how to respond because they're always this same kind of girl. I need to finally hear some advice on this.

Last night I saw her again. Several of us were hanging out and she randomly mentioned that she was hoping some guy would show up; dunno if it was supposed to make me jealous but I couldn't have been less interested one way or the other, and indifferently asked a couple questions about him.

She said she calls him her vampire and I said that was unfortunate, and she said he looks exactly like a character from True Blood (which I don't watch), so I turned things around on her and said "Some guys might not wanna be compared to vampires. I was getting pretty intense with a girl once and I bit her on the neck and she said I was just like Edward from Twilight, and I very politely took my fingers out of her and left." She pretended to be horrified but it got a good laugh out of her. She said the guy ignores her a lot and that drives her crazy because she doesn't understand why he won't pay attention to her.

So that seems to indicate I've been taking the right path.

I saw how the guy who picked her up last week maneuvered too; he had good game, and a lot of it involved taking one step forward then more or less ignoring her for a while, and he'd occasionally give her just enough to show he remembered she was there, until finally she started chasing him.

A bit later she turned to me and said out of nowhere, "Yeah, we [she and a girlfriend] were talkin shit about you at dinner earlier."

I laughed, a big surprised WTF laugh, and she was like "Well, not talkin shit. I was talking about how you don't like me."

I said "What haha?" and she said "Yeah, we talked about how I think you hate me and stuff." I chuckled and started to respond, but then someone else joined the table and we got distracted and never returned to the subject.

I never would've guessed I got under her skin enough that she's thinking and talking about me when I'm not around and asking questions about me, so I've been more successful than I'd thought.

I figure one of three things came out of that conversation: 1) She really does think I don't like her, 2) Her friend assured her I don't hate her but she rubs me the wrong way sometimes and I give her a hard time but mean well, or 3) Her friend (who knows me a little better) said "He doesn't give anybody else shit like that. He's totally into you."

Is she onto my game? And if she is, does that even matter?
