Geez, you use an expression and the whole world caves in on you! 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 ...
