How it works.

I am not sure how this stuff really works but I will tell you how it worked for this particular girl and boy.

Back in December this guy moved into an area where a girl, unknowingly, awaited his arrival. The guy wasn't supposed to move until April but he was determined to get there right away. Poor kid had no idea what was coming. The girl was really curious about this guy because he was roommates with a few of her good acquaintances and yet he never spoke to her. She figured he was intimidated.

The two of them finally talked and the guy wasted no time asking her on a date. The date was perfect...I mean like VIP tickets to a Jazz game perfect (and he didn't actually have to pay for them. Lucky ba.....boy) and they both left feeling good but unsure about the other person. Dates every other week or so followed along with brief conversations throughout the week here and there. They continued living their separate lives but once in a while allowed each other to experience a little piece of the other.

Toward the end of March the girl was really sure about what she wanted out of the next few months but none of it was working out and the boy was not included, the game was going on for too long and she didn't see that stopping so she quit playing. But after everything was not working out she got some counsel and was determined that she really does need to date this kid regardless of if he likes her or not. They will date.

So she told him they were going to go on a date that weekend. This girl is notorious for thinking she likes someone and then really not....so she was nervous that it was going to happen again. But it didn't, she seemed to like him more than ever. Crap.

Boy kisses girl. They talk more often and see each other more often....and then they don't.
The girl quits again and decides in about 5 minutes that she is done and tells the boy she is leaving for the summer.

The guy played it off pretty cool but apparently he was not happy about it. I guess he liked the girl more than he was willing to let off. Then the girl throws in another threat...she isn't coming back unless there is a lot of incentive (she is either really brilliant or really dumb and was potentially going to be stuck in the Midwest for a while, out of sheer stubborness). But that little bit is what got the ball rolling and before you know it the two of them are planning a future. A very good, permanent, future.


I'm curious to see if threats like this work on all boys....I might have to try this girls technique one day.
