| Ok, here's the situation I was in a month or two ago:
I'm lying on the bed with a (hot) friend (who, for the record, I have never used game on). It's her bed, at her house. No one else is home. We're laughing and chatting about stuff, and I'm getting pretty sleepy. She goes to wash her hands or something, and when she comes back I say "spoon with me".
Her: Are you serious?
Me: Shit yes. Spooning is awesome. As long as I'm the big spoon.
Her: Um... alright.
So she lies down, and I correct her spooning position. She had no idea. Now, I'm pretty comfortable right now. I'm almost drifting off to sleep, so I'm pretty unconciously using cat string (i'm "on" when I'm awake and "off" when I'm nearly asleep). She starts snuggling back into me. We spoon for awhile, maybe 20 minutes (I'm not entirely sure I didn't fall asleep at some point), and then I get a msg so I roll away from her and answer it. Then I don't spoon again, because I'm wondering what she'll do.
She stays in spoon position for awhile, waiting for me, and then when she realises I'm not rejoining the cutlery drawer, she rolls onto her back and pillows her head on my shoulder. I'm pretty shocked, because she's never been that intimate with me before.
She starts snuggling into me more and more, and I respond with a little kino, stroking her arm and sniffing her hair. Then I need to piss, so I get up.
When I come back, she's lying on the bed looking out the window. I jump on her and pretend to be a vampire, biting her neck. She giggles and I do it again. Apparently, my stubble tickles. Well, that's a good thing, so I do it some more! I am the stubble vampire! Fear me!
We start talking about this scary guy we passed on the way to her house, and how I made her walk on the opposite side of me. She says something about it being gentlemanly, like a prince.
Me: So what, we're pretty much Sleeping Beauty (note the referance to sleep, please: I was so f-cking tired) and Prince Charming then? (weak, i know. I should have made a referance to the singer-turned-symbol (literally))
Her: Yeah, except they hooked up at the end.
Me: Is that a hint?
Her: (in this tiny, small voice) yes.
Now, that's pretty blunt. That's blatant, even. I was, like I said, shocked, because I hadn't been intentionally gaming her, and I hadn't even been involved in the game for that long. I triangle gaze, for a moment, thinking "Should I do this?" This is a pretty old friend, who hasn't had much experience in relationships. Doing anything could get her pretty attached, and I don't want a relationship. This all runs through my head, and just as I start to think "fuck it, I'll do it," my friends call. They're waiting outside my house and I need to go let them in.
So, no close at all for me. And she pretty much got buyer's remorse and tried to make sure we didn't end up in a situation like that again.
But this FR (such that it is) illustrates the point that everyone needs to learn for their game to improve: Kino is Power. I'm only just beginning to realise this now. If I'd known it two months ago, I might actually have realised what the fuck was going on.
