With a lovely lady like that on the board, Christmas has come early to bluemoon
(I will give 1 compliment a day on BM from now on..)
I'm sure your ambiguity in the initial question was not accidental, though it could have been unconscious; it allowed either a more personal follow-up, if she seemed receptive, or this kind of "oh, did you think I was asking you that?" if they raise some resistance. Fairly basic technique, even possibly instinctual (I'll give credit that it might not be a calculated move). I might possibly have seen you use it before, even. So I would say it's reasonable she could have thought that. :lol:Anansi said:Oooo did you think I was approaching on you that way?
I don't believe it was unintentional, as he specifically avoided clarifying when pressed.Mr Master said:Nothing wrong with the ambiguity, in my opinion, but the phrasing of the response puts the onus of misinterpretation on her, as if she's the one who made the mistake. When there wasn't really a mistake to be made, honestly. Might go off better if you don't put the other on the defensive like that, is all.
Meh. Possibly. But I'm currently inclined to offer benefit of the doubt. Then again, my basic nature appears to be often more forgiving than yours, sir. :-DTrygon said:I don't believe it was unintentional, as he specifically avoided clarifying when pressed.Mr Master said:Nothing wrong with the ambiguity, in my opinion, but the phrasing of the response puts the onus of misinterpretation on her, as if she's the one who made the mistake.

This is Anansi we're talking about. It's not like he's got a clean slate when it comes to hamhanded attempts at manipulation.Mr Master said:Meh. Possibly.
