Day 9 - The Dating Game

ICly, this game is played on your tablet, and can only be activated when you're alone in your dressing room. You can play vocally or text-based, but either way they come out on the other end as pure text and/or read by a computerized voice.

FIRST DAY (until 7:00PM PST tomorrow; an extra day since I got it up late):

ETA NAH LET'S EXTEND IT INTO THE NIGHT. Second half is just reveals anyway! I'll get it around noonish tomorrow.

🍔  Make a toplevel for your character, starting off with some kind of open-ended question. Your tablet provides some example questions, and you are free to steal one or invent your own.

🍔  Everyone else replies to the toplevel anonymously! Lying, kissing ass, or pretending to be someone else are allowed and frankly ENCOURAGED.

🍔  While there are no hard rules against any sort of questions, for the part of the questioner, trying to suss out identities goes against the principle of the thing and will be looked upon harshly by Ronald and the King. This is a dating game, so relax and try to find your perfect romantic match!

🍔  After someone replies, the questioner can ask up to three more questions to each anon. Anons, stay in your threads.

SECOND DAY (until 6:00PM PST Sunday)

🍔  I'll make a new thread, where everybody can announce which of their anons they would most want to date!

🍔  Winning anon, reveal yourself!

🍔  You don't actually have to go on a date (it will not count against you), but if you'd like to, a ~romantic, off-menu dinner~ will be provided

That's an issue that needs to be worked out between us. If they had concerns about me they should be able to bring it up, so that ought to work in reverse as well. It's understandable that they'd be hurt if it was false, but... If their end of the relationship is so weak that they can't even reassure me or have a calm discussion, then even if they're telling the truth it's not going to last.

So your answer is "give up," because it's a sign the relationship won't last and they're not as invested as you? ...That's probably the reasonable thing to do.

One last question. How close do you think you need to be to someone in a relationship before it reaches that level of commitment? It's a little too extreme to say "one date," isn't it? Would you need to have been married, lived together, or had sex once or twice before you considered it that level, or what specifically?

You don't need to have been married or to have lived together, but it'd take having been seeing each other a while. At least a year, most likely.

A whole year... I see.

Well, I suppose that's the limit of questions from me. Thank you for coming along with me, mystery person. Good luck.
