Welu:
Gonna spoiler this bit about “the game” because it gets kinda long and don’t want to totally derail the topic again.

I get the feeling that everyone here has a somewhat different notion of what constitutes "playing the game." When Welu said she didn't like to play the game, I'm sure she wasn't saying that she asks someone she has just met out.
Obviously everyone approaches courtship differently. Some like to be straightforward about it, others more circumspect, and others still have fairly exact internal rules that the other party must follow in order to be considered eligible. This is simplifying things somewhat for the sake of discussion, but depending on where you sit on that line, I imagine that you consider people who are most straightforward about their feelings as being too forward, and those who are less straightforward as "playing the game."
So just be careful when trying to claim that everyone "plays the game" to make sure we are all talking about the same thing.

Yeah, I realize in hindsight I should have been clearer but didn't want to make a long comment about how I personally go about romance. I was going to comment again but then thought better but now I have thought better of that better thought. :psyduck:
I was going to say if I like someone, I would invite them along to when I'm hanging out with my friends. Partially to make sure we get along as friends first and if we hit it off there, then I'd say I'd like to get to know them better. We'd hang out in a mix of with friends and alone then the relationship just sort of happened. That all said, I've only been in two serious relationships, one which started with the bloke used that method and the second (my current relationship) with me using that method. So in my experience, this method works. For other people, other methods works.
I'll agree that everyone has their own way of playing "the game" and that I rephrase to say I dislike (my perception of) the traditional hard-to-get version of it. I don’t think I would go out with someone who does the traditional version simply because it would suggest we have a big personality clash. Also as I said, I get very uncomfortable when I don’t know where I stand with people so that would put me off them.
I learn and grow when reading this forum. Thank you, guys!
NOW ON TO TODAY’S COMIC:
Faye’s hair is adorable, so is her pouty stance in the last panel. I can see the pang of dread on her face when Marten’s messing with her. It’s fun to see him bantering again. I’ve noticed and been concerned about their distance lately too. It is both their faults with Marten being upset over the break-up and her being in a new relationship so it’s nice to see Faye expressing her fondness for him. They do love each other! I mean, not in a romantic way,just in a friendship kind of-
Also now I’m wondering how long that painting in the background of the last panel has been there and who owns it. :psyduck:
akronnick:
OMG your avatar is freakin' me out!!!!! :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:
Welu:
Christopher Walken does that.
Blackjoker:
Noo Marten! Aside from it being a bad idea in general attempts to seize destiny tend to end badly for you.
Throg:
@akronnick / Welu: Great, now I can't stop reading all Welu's posts in Christopher Walken's voice. Off-kilter phrasings and all. That relationship bit sounded like a monologue from The Continental skit in SNL.
