lol good, the 7 knows you like her so it’s okay to give her a little shit by choosing her friend’s story. Essentially at this point what’s happening is that the 7 and you are sub-communicating that you dig eachother, but you both kind of know the 5.5 is a little more awkward/lame, so she knows you’re humoring the 5.5 (and most girls like that you’re cool enough to do that) the way you’d know if a really hot girl you were talking to was asking some lame nerd friend of yours to tell her more about his Warcraft hobby lol

““Oh really? You’re good at analyzing people? What’s -her- biggest fear?””

oooooooo this is good. Really good. Now you’re pitting them against eachother sort of and creating this big group interaction and even forcing them to kind of feel a little awkward about it etc. This is one of those things where later on they’ll be like “remember when that guy said such and such??” lol

“smile (now, this whole time I’ve been facing away from them a bit in my body language, and they’ve been turned toward me…now, I bring myself in), and say “How about -I- go first?””

Solid. You’re into C1 and transitioning into C2 right now, with both of them. This is all really solid so far. Opening up first about your fear is great, you can build a realllly strong bond here.

“”my biggest fear is to skydive into a pool full of sharks that then eat me alive.””

lol funny, but at this specific point you went backwards in the sarge. You were in C1 heading into C2 depending on what you said here, but then you pulled back with some funny/dancing-monkey/humor stuff and dragged the sarge backwards back into A3.

That was a REALLY solid opportunity to open up about an actual deep fear of yours and really bond and build a connection with them, which would encourage them to really open up about real fears of theirs and take you into a REALLY solid C2.
