That's a very clever line. Looking at it from a speaking standpoint it has all the elements. Surprising so it gets attention. Creative. Humorous. Stirring up the emotions. It tells a story. Very well crafted.
Plus it asks them a question so the usually respond. I'd say I've gotten 6 out of 10 responses but it drys up very quickly...any suggestions on how to proceed? Sometimes I get a profile view and an "I'm out" kind of thing...but mostly "I'm in,m but you're crazy" reply with a profile review...
Just wondering if anyone has an "I'm out" comeback? I've tried "I'll probably be safer" kinds of things but no luck...
Any links for good online mid-game play?
Anything helps,

Well first, why not focus on the ones that say they're in. They seem like the more fun ones anyway.
Second, the question is how long you want to milk the scenario. There are lots of ways to go with it to keep it up for a while. You have your entire "secret life" after everyone thinks you're gone to talk about. And that is a great opportunity to get someone talking about what their hopes and dreams are, what they'd do if they had nothing else to lose.
Finally, eventually you will have to segueway away from that whole scenario and not become totally dependent on it. So you want some segueway that transitions from the fantasy scenario to reality. Just like if you opened a talk with a fictional story. Then you'd say "Now that may be fiction, but some elements of it aren't so far from true."
So the story has built up excitement, imagination and so on. So I would start transitioning to showing that you actually really do have some of those qualitiies. Tell some stories of things you've done that were maybe not quite so wild, but still fun and exciting and ask for some of hers.
