Playing the player....
No...not referring to me...well, ok-I guess it can refer to me in certain applications. Here's a scenario:Hot chick...I mean SMOULDERING. Let's call her Chiquita Banana...Chiquita for short.
She's swatting away suitors like med schools do applicants.
Yep, she's the queen bee, the center, the Alpha female, the Player.
She's the girl that hooks guys into buying her drinks, taking her to dinner, lavish her with gifts, and with compliments, blah, blah, blah...
We all know at least one Chiquita in our circle, don't we?
To further the scenario:
Months ago, blinded by her beauty, Shooter nearly got caught in her web, but through the grace of the Almighty, managed to cheat fate and escape (ta da!). Still, out of morbid curiousity decided to stay close to see who else might fall victim to Chiquita's exotic powers.
Shooter decided to play aloof...staying within buzz range to maintain his visibility - not too close as to be creepy, and not too far to appear disinterested.
Shooter began the slow and steady process of establishing value in himself...but not do so in a direct manner...nay, such an act would appear as self promotion and would subsequently thwart our hero's attempts at wooing her.
Nope, he decided that others should be the vessel at pronouncing his coolness..hehe. He employed the use of his cronies to spread the gospel of Shooter. "Man, he can dance", and "he's a really cool guy", "he's funny as f_ck", etc...
Lo and behold, Chiquita notices. Her demeanor has changed ever so lightly. She slinks by, touching Shooter suggestively and gave a knowing smile.
It's working...
"My turn." This time, Shooter plays hard to get.
With the air of feigned disinterest, Shooter payed little attention to her, only in so far as to not be rude, but to be courteous.
Dissatisfied with Shooters inexplicably mild response, Chiquita amped up her barrage; the peacock opening her full array of illustrious feathers, if you will.
Still, our hero showed no change in expression - not even a glance to display that he is impressed or enamored.
Shooter continued the indirect display of value like the steady rush of the incoming tide. Friends stopping by and greeting him, geniunely wanting to hang out with him, further validating his qualities as a friend. In addition enjoying other women grace him with their prescence, further validating his qualities as a potential mate/lover.
All of this Chiquita sees...and takes serious note of. "This guy is different"
Occassionally, Shooter sends an obtuse message or gift. Obtuse from the standpoint that the receiver cannot tell if it is one out of friendship or amor. Effectively, he baits his line and teases Chiquita, enticing her to delve more into understanding Shooter, his qualities, and his intentions and further reinforcing her desire to get closer to him.
Ladies and Gents...the object of the game:
"Be not the moth.....be the flame".
