Let the tale seduce you

HOW DO YOU WOO?

Two ways to play, fewer to win.

a) Your character admits the direct way to win their heart.
b) Your character exposes how they’d sweep a potential love interest off their feet.

All their weaknesses of the amorous variety on display. How romantic!

Comment with your character, of course! Include preferences and do not leave your comment blank. Choose a or b to play.
Comment to others.

See me for who I am. It really is that simple.

[ sure, "simple". ]

A) How to woo: treat me nicely, make me laugh, be generally a good person. Also, pet names.

B) How I woo: compliments, trying to be funny, offering to cook. Sometimes gentle teasing.

A. Pay attention to me. Show interest. Praise. Physical affection and verbal reassurance.

B. Free coffee. Flirting, I guess? Sex, probably. I'm... not very good at wooing, maybe.

[ A. be honest, genuine, strong, and tell him how it is.
B. seek and seduce. flirt, smooth talk, the whole nine. then he melts. ]

How to Woo me: Spend time with me, don't treat me like a ghost, watch movies with me.

How I Woo: I learn all your likes and dislikes, everything I can about you so I can make our time together as special as possible.

Oh, and spend a lot of time together. Even if it's just silently enjoying each other's presence.

Accidentally struck gold with Sunshine, didn't I?

Woo me by being explosive. Be interesting, be yourself, be a freak.

I'm fucking hot, do I really need to woo? I'm utterly myself.

It would really seem so. I like it a lot. It's cute.

I like giving people pet names. Admittedly sometimes I do it to annoy them, but I'm glad you like yours.

It's kind of how you feel to me. A ray of light in this dark and gloomy city. And as I am saying it I am realising how unbelievably corny that is.

Feed me good food and be at least understanding about the fact we're likely not going to see each other very much.

Most of the pet names I've received in the past have been to annoy me, so I really appreciate "Sunshine".

It's a little corny, but we know I like corny. [ A cheeky little grin. ] I grew up in sunny places, maybe it rubbed off on me.

You seduced the heck out of me, honestly.

And it was so hot.

You're so hot. [ Excellent comeback, Claire. ]

And you're way better at the smooth talk than I am.

You are so, so goddamn hot.

[ score one, harrington. ]

I've been practicing for you all my life, I just didn't know it.

[ oh, that was good. ]

[ Oh, damn, that was very smooth. ]

Ah, that's why you're so perfect for me. Makes sense.

a: Hold my hand and tell me I'm pretty.
That's a joke.
I don't know, just be hot and good in bed, and don't bother me to do stupid shit?

[a. How to woo her: Compassion, earnestness, a drive to do the right thing even if it's not the easy thing, respecting her quirky interests even if they freak them out a little, not being afraid to let their own freak flag fly, make her feel safe and wanted.

b. How she woos: Casual ~~stalking~~ observing until she finds some genuine common ground they can share or an interest of theirs she can indulge them in, giving them one of her sketches, tell them point-blank how she feels.]
