Looking back to when I didn't know about the game, I had what now seems like the strangest experience ever. I was basically playing the game on autopilot without even knowing it before completely screwing it up.

Close to a year ago, I was sitting down alone on a couch at this party, holding my drink up to my chest and just looking around like the biggest chump imaginable. Then this girl (a 7) came by and sat down in a seat near mine with her friends. I continued sitting there looking pitiful and she eventually looked at me and was like, "Hi." And I was like, "Hi." back. I felt like I looked stupid sitting down by myself so I said to her, "This couch is really comfy!" So then she was like, "Oh really?" and came down and sat next to me.

We then started shooting the shit. She wasn't even drinking much but I kept getting up for more beer and coming back to sit down. Her interaction with me I can only describe as gaming on autopilot. She did all the work! After she opened me and sat down next to me, we made small talk briefly and she began giving up IOIs like crazy. Then she started qualifying herself in the most ridiculous ways.

I believe I mentioned that I was into science. It was like:
Her: "Oh I love science!"
Me: "Did you ever watch 'Bill Nye the Science Guy'?"
Her: "Oh my god I love that show!"
Me: "I loved the experiment where he (blah blah blah)."
Her: "Yeah!"

So that kind of thing went on for awhile. I was getting really drunk because I kept getting up for more drinks. I also had to keep getting up to pee. Apparently, while I was waiting in line for the bathroom, this guy came up to her and started gaming on her, taking my seat. She told me about it when I got back. She was like, "I tried to save your seat but this guy sat down and started talking to me! I'm sorry! I managed to get rid of him."

So I was thinking, "Wow." She got rid of that guy for me? So when I finally sat back down, we were pretty much into the comfort building stage at this point. The conversation was completely dull and mostly about school. She talked about how she was a psychology major and I started getting all nerdy on her talking about obscure psychological concepts that had aboslutely no place in a party... Like I freaking talked about mental disorders to her and she just ate it up.

Around this point, she started kino escalating on me and I was too drunk to have any thought other than "Wow it's kind of embarassing with her all over me like this in front of all these people." At this point she was fairly drunk herself.

She was holding my hand and had her leg like over my leg. Eventually she kind of nuzzled into my neck and was like, "Wow your hair smells good. So I went over to smell her hair and was like, "Ah... Your hair doesn't really have a smell to it." WRONG!

Then she was like, "Oh. I thought you were going to kiss me then." So I was like, "Oh." and then hesistated for like five seconds before going in and kissing her forehead. WRONG!

Our heads were sort of resting on eachother at this point. She was mentioning to me every once in a while not to pass out and I was like, "Don't pass out either. It's not like I can carry you home." She said, "What? You're not strong enough?" And I was like, "I dunno. I wasn't into sports at all." WRONG!

She later mentioned how she felt that people should get tested for STDs frequently. I can't believe I said this, but I said to her, "Oh, that's not a problem for me because I'm a virgin." WRONG!

Somehow, after all that, after refusing a perfectly good AMOG and letting her friends leave without her, she wanted to go back to her dorm room. So we walked, holding hands, back to her place. On the way there, people she knew kept talking to her. In the lobby, on the elevator, in the hallway infront of her door... I was thinking, "Wow, can't you see she's coming home with a guy? Fuck off, people!" This was at like 2 A.M., too.

Some time during the walk to her place, I decided that I did not want to have sex with her. I had absolutely zero libido because I was just that intoxicated by that point. So I went into her room and she went into her suite's bathroom to brush her teeth I guess. So I was thinking, "Jeeze... I don't want to have sex with this girl, so I'll just act passed out." She came back into her room and immediately said, "Okay, you can sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the floor," and almost instantly was on the ground with a pillow lying down. I was thinking, "Wow. I can't believe she isn't trying to have sex with me!" Even though I didn't want to have sex with her, that really deflated my ego.

Then:
Me: "Hey, I really need to take my contact lenses out. I can't sleep in them."
She was still lying on the floor going to sleep. Lights out.
Her: "Oh, It's okay. I have mine in too."
Me: "But... but... but..."
Her: "Whatever."

So I just sat there reflecting on how much of a dumbass I was before waking her up after five minutes to tell her I was leaving. She said, "Oh, do you need me to walk you home?" (What the hell? You were passing out just a minute ago!) I said, "No. I'll be fine," and I left.

The next day, I sent her a message on Facebook apologising for everthing being weird. WRONG!

Anyways, the moral of the story is that even though I was beyond AFC, I learned a valuable lesson on how the game is played by basically having a girl play it for me. And then undoing everything she did and screwing it up.
