I'd choreograph an elaborate lip-synching performance to a 90s pop song for my crush.

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.
• There might be profit?

[enchantressed]

Revive their dead [ Oh, that's macabre, but also wholeso— ] so that they'd accept how I am the void to which all existence leads and welcome me with open arms.

[bastionne]

[ Weird. Granted, Jonas has had his brushes with the weird. ]

That's — intense.

Lexy Cross | Chucky | OTA

[dollblecrossed]

I guess just... listen? Stick around? It's not like I have low standards or anything, my problems are just a lot at this point.

keeler | starfighter | m/m

[perihelion]

[ well, the first option is a bit embarrassing, so keeler opts to go with the second. ]

I'd show them I'm reliable, that they can depend on me when they need to.

[rhysi]

How would you do that?
I don’t think anyone is actually that reliable, how would you prove yourself otherwise?

berserker (izanami) ↘ fate (original servant)

[rotbirth]

I'd just kill their opposition until the only choice is me.

[ e..r.. ]

[cosmosdenial]

... aren't you still married???

Natsuo Todoroki | MHA

[thirdtime]

(a) Honestly, just showing interest in me instead of my dad or my - either of my brothers is the best way to get your foot in the door. Don't use me to learn more about them and don't assume you know anything about me because of my famous family.

(b) When I want to win someone over, I usually don't open by asking them out - I'll wait until we've talked a few times and I know more about them, so I can plan a date that I know they'll enjoy. So they'll know that who they are matters, y'know? It's not just some fill-in-the-partner date.

[pupp3t]

I don't care about famous people. But, ah, I... well, I don't have a family. So I probably wouldn't try to date you, because I don't know if I could relate enough to you or understand you enough to be a good girlfriend. Does that make sense?

The Swede | Our Flag Means Death | OTA

[ourlittlenordicangel]

I don't know... maybe... I can throw a piece of bread at them. Everyone loffs bread. [ But he'll probably just shyly twirl his hair. That's the most you'll get out of him. ]

[cur_non]

Perhaps it would be more successful if you handed the object of your affections the bread. Gently.

Cassian Andor | Star Wars | OTA

[seenitbefore]

Volunteer for their suicide mission. Bring your friends.

😘

[counterstep]

Bold of you to assume I have friends.

( but a cracks a grin after a moment and afters cassian a knowing look. )

Kiana (K-423) Kaslana ☄ Honkai Impact

[flamescion]

A) Cook for me! Or be very cute...

B) I can be your Lovable Idiot, or your Shining Knight. Cheering you up, or dazzling your heart!

Rin Tohsaka | Fate/

[erbe]

B. I'd tease them relentlessly. Until they're putty in my hands.

raphael | tmnt 2k3 | b

[argue]

If I have to make a show outta how I...feel, forget about it.

[pupp3t]

Why would someone ask you to make a show out of it? So long as you state it and are there for them if they need you, isn't that enough? I don't get it... [Is there a book somewhere on why flashy gestures are a thing? Or maybe an article explaining it? Because wow, she doesn't see the appeal.] Is this a thing people want? I don't think I could do that, either, honestly.

Edmond | NU: Carnival | M/M pref

[sweetsinthesheets]

A)
Sweets are... a good start, I suppose.

[Edmond shifts a little awkwardly from one foot to the other, and resists the urge to fidget.]

...Pay attention to me, I guess. Respectfully.

[There's more to it than that, of course, but good luck getting it out of him. (Please try!)]


B)
It's... not hard to pay attention and acquire something that someone I'm interested in wants. Food, clothing, a trinket... I'd try to pay a lot of attention to that and other cues.

I'll even dress up sometimes.

B

[adregem]

Well now. What if they wanted something that wasn't material? Or they wanted the same thing you did to make them happy? Heh.

[ He knows the answer, but it's a fun game to play regardless. ]

Bandou Saburouta | K

[pettymuch]

Just like me how I am. Don't compare me to other people.

Melou Pendragon | Arthurian

[alladversaries]

A
Act like you're the only woman in my life despite knowing you're not.

[rhysi]

Gotta admire your honesty. Can’t imagine you’re winning favors with that one though.

Donkey Kong (DKC & Smash)

GIVE ME BANANAS AND HEAD PATS!!

[thelittlemacthatcould]

...wait. You like head pats?

Astrid Hofferson ᛄ HTTYD ᛄ OTA

[stormflying]

Show me the world as I've never seen it before. Tell me I'm enough and show me.

Donatello Hamato - Rise of the TMNT - OTA

[soft_shelled]

Impress me, or them, with science of course.

[Look, he covered both options there.]

Li Ya-Jing | Original | Info in journal | OTA

[pupp3t]

Ah... I would listen to you? Give you gifts, and encouragement, and try to make sure you never feel alone, unwanted or as if you don't have backup. I would fight for you, too.

To 'win' me, that's - that's something I haven't thought much about. I guess I would like to be treated like a person. Talked to nicely. Not hurt or ignored. Maybe spar? Maybe go on walks? I guess that would work.

Kabal | Mortal Kombat | OTA

[hooked_on_kaballin]

A.
I'm a simple man, really. Laugh at my dumb jokes, talk to me about your hopes and dreams, lots of hugging and hand holding...and the occasional -ahem- misadventures are like...peak relationship goals. Also I want kids. I realize that's make or break for a lot of people so I am just putting that out there.

Wilhelmina Halsey (Admiral) | Azur Lane | OTA

[alfleetadmiral]

Starting with a dinner is always a good step. Offering to pay is even better. Should also throw in being able to live past the first date too.

Literally.

Do that, and I just might add you on Juustagram.

roland crane | ni no kuni 2 | ota

[adregem]

[ It's not his fault he treats this like it's way too serious than it has to be. It's been a while, even if it doesn't look that way from the 20-something face and body he wears well. ]

A)
Hm. Liking the same things is a good start, apart from being kind and forthcoming about your intentions. Besides, nothing beats rewatching old TV shows, or getting to see blockbusters, right?

B)
With panache and no hesitation.

...And their consent, of course.

Lozarian | Original | M/M (OTA for Gen)

[epicnerd]

I would get to know him, take time to learn his interests and spend time with him engaging in them. Introducing him to something new he's never seen or known before. Nothing grand, perhaps, but genuine?

hannah an | original | m/f

[hexcode]

Dazzle them with my charm and wit, obviously!

...

And if that doesn't work, flash them my cleavage.

Hibiki Fujiwara | Original

[windsongs]

You'd be surprised how much just listening to somebody does. But things like getting them something that I know they'll like or made me think of them is something I like to do. Serenading them isn't off the table either.

Let's not talk about what works on me. It's a moot point anyway.

[ Hibiki, you do realize you're inviting ruin, right? ]

[fight_fetishist]

Yeah? Why's that? Scared someone will use it on ya?

[The deep voice comes from several feet away, a large brute of a man sitting upright on some steps. The stranger rubs the back of his neck, rolling his head a couple times. A pressure radiates from him. For Hibiki, it's going to feel like gravity is bearing down a little more than it should.

The air, thicker.

Fortunately for her, he isn't younger and an asshole about it, so this slight pressure is all the lovely blonde has to contend with.]

Azul Ashengrotto | Twisted Wonderland (EN) | OTA

[octosus]

(a)I truly appreciate absolute loyalty above all. There's nothing like knowing I can rely upon someone when I truly need them, whether that's directly assisting me with my work or offering me their support in other ways.

It's also only to be expected that someone who truly appreciates me and is affectionate would move my heart. Who doesn't wish to be the center of attention and admired by someone attractive? Being actively pursued and wooed by someone determined to sweep me off my feet would certainly be quite flattering.

[ Admire him, please. He needs all the validation he can get. ]

(b) Naturally, as a gentleman I'll be sure to court whoever catches my eye properly. It goes without saying that flowers and dinner and dates featuring whatever activities suit their fancy will be a must, as well as numerous gifts from the heart. Anything to make that person feel special and absolutely spoiled so they'll truly understand how much I treasure them.

Ah, and it goes without saying I'll always offer a sympathetic ear to my darling's troubles! I'll do everything within my power to support them and make all their wishes come true.

...Free of charge, of course.

Monika || Doki Doki Literature Club || OTA

[peninhand]

Well... Actually loving me would be a great start, ahaha! Though I guess it's kinda hard to love someone you've just met... [Not everyone is as desperate as she is.] I suppose if you're trying to woo me, that means you at least like me, right? I have zero interests in one-night-stands or whatnot. I'm only interested in long and lasting relationships.

[ Who cares about those? Well, lots of people do actually... But not her. It has to be lifelong. That's what she dreams of. ]

So, um... Showing your interest in me would work I guess. Treating me like I'm special and important. You know, like a princess or precious little doll. [A pause.] I mean, that's not a necessity but I don't think I could stand it if I don't feel loved...
