No, seriously, game was not intended in that sense. I was trying to imply that once you've got a girl's(guy's) trust, things will usually move along more smoothly, them knowing that they can trust what you tell them and you knowing you can trust them. About the game analogy, do you have something more analogous to building a relationship? I mean you're bound to win a few rounds and lose a few rounds, but hopefully, in the end you'll "win" the whole pie, ie form a meaningful relatiopnship. I would have to admit that it's a rather serious game, but it's still a game ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andy Banta {decvax!allegra!ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-k!agz Dept. of Mental Instability, Purdue University --- "I'm OK, You're a CS Major" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "You reach out your ahnd, but you're all alone ...
