GL Dating Game 6: Baba [WINNER REVEALED!! / 09-18-03]

[Henry]

I'd come along and have fun - I'm good at having fun at concerts, half of the enjoyment is in the atmosphere. Of course, I'd insist you remember this next time we want to do something I want.

[Stanley Yelnats]

Sorry sweety. I was waiting for the email...

[Stanley Yelnats]

Ok, it's come to that time to eliminate someone. And since these are players who have actually paid attention to the game that I'm eliminating, the eliminations will be slightly different. You'll see what I'm talking about.

The player that I'm eliminating is: Cutie [Not RSA]. *hands Cutie [Not RSA] a white rose and kisses him on the cheek*

As for the prediction, I'll go with an uncreative answer and say that RSA is really Cutie [Not RSA]. Sorry to see you go, RSA, if that's your real identity.

New question: If there's any part of yourself that you could change, what would it be?

And our new question?

[Nicc]

14) If there's any part of yourself that you could change, what would it be?
I would change my eyes. I've always wanted to have vivid colored eyes. Green, blue, purple even. My Brown eyes might be nice, but they get to be a bit boring

~laughs at the REAL identity of Cutie~ (I know something you don't know!)

14) If there's any part of yourself that you could change, what would it be? I'd really like to be able to be a bit more charming. I'm not so good wih the opposite sex - I turn into a clumsy, bumbling fool every time I talk to a girl I like. I drop food, I walk into stuff (trees, signs, walls, all of these have actually happened), and I never say things exactly how I want to. It would be great to have some kind of self-confidence around women. Beyond that, I'd quite like some super-muscular arms. (Thanks for the suggestion, RSA! )

[Stanley Yelnats]

Um...

If there's any part of yourself that you could change, what would it be
I get jealous over little things. I have trust issues becasue I've been hurt a lot in the past. I wish I could erase those memories and just trust lovers in the way that they deserve to be trusted.

[Cutie (Not RSA)]

I think I would change my name.

[Cutie (Not MV)]

so that I wouldnt be eliminated... (actually, it came at a very nice time, thank you )

[IrishDrums04]

Er, you're welcome..I think.

13) No me gusta los conciertos tanto. Ellos son demasiado fuertes y hay demasiadas gente. Hago mucho prefiere escuchar privadamente la música con usted en mis armamentos. Pero si usted quiere ir al concierto, entonces yo lo haría para usted, mi amor.

New question time.

We're out together and another guy starts randomly flirting with me. What do you do?

[Nicc]

15) We're out together and another guy starts randomly flirting with me. What do you do?
Well, i think it depends on what kind of situation it is. I'll assume it's sort of a club atmosphere, where flirting goes on all the time. I'd probably stay close so that it's obvious that we're together, and if he doesn't stop, i suppose I'll have to outflirt him I do get jealous, sometimes even irrationally jealous, but i try not to show it. It's not like you're my property, so either you'll stick with me or you won't, my getting angry at another guy won't change that. I've just got to be more loving, attractive, and caring than the other guy.

Of course, if he starts getting unwantedly lewd or ungentlemanly, i might have to uphold your honor, and then it won't be pretty. Or i could be really mean to him and leave him to you.

[Stanley Yelnats]

Flirting is acceptable in my oppinion. If the flirting turns more suggestive ("you should ditch this guy and come with me.") then I would have a problem. But just simple flirting I don't mind at all. If you asked me to, I'd gladdy beat the sense out of him, but if you were okay with it, then I wouldn't care at all.

[Henry]

15) We're out together and another guy starts randomly flirting with me. What do you do?
It depends. I'd have to know you first, to know whether or not you were the kind of girl who didn't mind male attention (heaven knows, you must be used to it!) or not. If you're being friendly back, I'll know deep down that you love me, otherwise you wouldn't be with me. But I'd be all eaten up with jealousy on the inside. I'd probably give you a massage when we got home - I like to give massages when I'm frustrated, oddly enough.
If the attention from this guy was completely unwanted, I'd come over to you and get nice and cozy, in the hope that the other guy might get the point. If he doesn't, I can't say I'd go to the same level as Nicc, although his way might be far more effective. I'm a strong believer in not using violence whenever possible. I'd pull the guy aside and have a few polite, but obviously dangerous words with him. I'm hoping he'd back off after that, especially with the super-muscular arms I'd have from my previous wish.
I'm hoping he wouldn't get crude or start trying to touch you or anything - I might even be forced to resort to violence. For you, my sweet, anything. But instead I'd first try positioning myself between you and the flirtatious guy at all times, providing a kind of human shield. If, in the process of trying to touch you, he touches me, I think he'll learn pretty quickly not to even try it.

[Ramon]

15) Mi dama, yo haría algo mantenerlo cerca de mí. Si presentí que este otro hombre trata de tomarlo lejos, yo sería muy reacio salirlo solo, y si él estaba muy insistente que llegaría a ser muy enojado con él para tratar de robar ella que es muy estimada a mí.

hmm... after the elimination this round there will be three players left. If you just want to straight up run the game until there's only one left standing, that's how i'd do it. I know that some people, like lepton, like to let all three players answer several final questions and then pick one out of the three at the end. It's your call. Just giving you options

[IrishDrums04]

Ok, eliminations time again.

The player that I am elimination today is: Ramón. You played the game well but unfortunately my knowledge of Spanish is extremely limited and I can't use freetranslation.com on a date. *hands white rose to Ramón and kisses his cheek*

As for the prediction, I have no idea who you are. At first, I thought you were Ktulu but he said he wasn't playing. So considered me baffled. Sorry to see you go, whoever you are.

Now for the remaining players, I'm going to use wordy's idea. No more eliminations, except for when I pick the winner. The questions will get harder now [or at least in my thinking, they're harder] since it's the twilight of the game.

The new question: Do you think that age and religion matter in a relationship. Why or why not?

[This message has been edited by IrishDrums04 (edited 09-10-2003 04:48 PM).]

[Stanley Yelnats]

They do.

First Age. An age gap is okay, but if two people are at different points in their life (ie, one is in highschool, and the other a professional in a job), then they're going to be spending a lot of time apart. Now time apart is a good thing, but the problem arises that her friends are into one thing, and his friends might be into something different. Now the couple can spend the majority of their time alone, or trade off spending time with each other's friends, or spending the majority of their time apart. All three are not ideal in a healthy relationship. Ideal is having common friends.

As for religion, I don't paticulary care if she doesn't, but some of the same problems with friends can come into play. If she's planning on me changing for her, then that could cause some problems as well.

[Ramon]

aw nutbunnies!

Well, it was fun while it lasted. What? Of course i speak English! How else do you think i understood what your questions were?

I'll wait to tell you who i am until the end. I wouldn't want to spoil anything

------------------
Kisses for you!

[Nicc]

16) Do you think that age and religion matter in a relationship. Why or why not?
In general, age and religion only matter if the people involved want them to, otherwise i have no problem if a 70 year woman wants to marry a 23 year old man, or if a Buddhist wants to marry an Atheist.

For myself, however, Religion and Age do come into play. Religion moreso than age.

The age factor is not so much that i would object to being with someone whose age is radically different from mine. It's mostly that i'm self conscious around women who are older than I am, whereas I'm often quite comfortable with women who are the same age or younger than I. However, if i'm comfortable with someone, it honestly wouldn't matter to me what their age was. I probably wouldn't have a dating type relationship with a woman twice my age, simply because i would probably feel mothered more than i like, but i won't say it's impossible. I won't know until or unless it happens.

Religion, however, is a major hurdle for me in relationships. It is not so much that I would not be able to love someone who doesn't believe the same way i do, but on down the road if it comes time for marraige and or children, I'm not sure what would happen. I would want to raise children as Muslims, and have an Islamically correct wedding, for example. If my partner were otherwise inclined, this would likely be a source of problems between us. And if my partner did not have preference, it would still be difficult at times to explain to the children why their mother and father do not both believe the same way. I am a very family oriented kind of guy, if you can believe it, and so i would not want to create an atmosphere or an environment where either the parents or the children or both would be confused or hurt by differences that could arise. I know this sounds pessimistic, but I am not one to enter into a romantic relationship without looking to a possible future together, and I find that for myself it would be easier and better for all concerned if the religion or lack thereof is the same between the individuals.

------------------

[MatthewV]

Do you have scores for each question? I loved looking back and seeing "yeah, I love being a triangle for a musical instrament too"

[Henry]

Wow. How to follow that? Take most of Nicc's post and place it right here.

But really, I have very similar views to him. I believe that if two individuals love each other enough, matters like age and religion aren't going to stop them. Look at DP and Bambi, for instance, there's a 15-year age gap between them and they're possibly the most secure, happy, romantic relationship I've ever heard of.

However, for me personally it makes a bit of a difference. I probably wouldn't mind dating a woman who was much older/younger than me, as long as it wasn't too extreme. But like Nicc, I have very strong views about religion. I know that if I were to fall in love it probably wouldn't stop me, but if there were a difference in beliefs that we were both quite serious about, it would definitely make me think twice about getting into the relationship in the first place.

I really think, though, that if there is a true, powerful love between two people and that it's "meant to happen" (if you believe in that kind of thing) then no obstacle is going to keep them apart forever.Except for Hell.

I'm having a Halloween party. What is your costume?

[Henry]

I'm having a Halloween party. What is your costume? Well, I'm unbelievably goofy, so sadly enough, the real answer is probably something really silly. Maybe the back half of a horse costume. That would be pretty cool.
Now for the romantic/corny answer: A ghost costume, because my heart would stop once I saw you anyway. That one is true as well. =]
But if you wanted me to go as something really cool, it'd be down to one of two things: either a really cool old-school vampire costume, with the whole velvet jacket, lace cravat, oozing charm thing happening, or this: [bah, I was going to post the picture of Aga's Halloween costume, where he's all covered in blood, but it's long gone. Just use your imagination. ]

[Nicc]

17) I'm having a Halloween party. What is your costume?
I was thinking about this, and I thought first that I'd say a knight in shining armor, so that i could sweep you off of your feet and then ride with you into the sunset. But then i figured that all of the metal would get in the way

So then, i thought "I'll go as Prince Charming" but then i got visions of looking like a Ken doll... no thanks.

Finally I decided to come as a Sorcerer, with a cool looking hood and cloak and pouches and stuff. The best part about this constume is that i can seem mysterious and intriguing while at the same time having a practical costume. I figure that a full-length cloak is big enough for two

[Stanley Yelnats]

Drag Queen.

[Stanley Yelnats]

I guess I could post why... but I really have no reason. But imagine all the fun we could have if we were both wearing dresses.

[Henry]

Suuuuuuure, Yelnats. You just want the easy access.

[Stanley Yelnats]

Uh. Duh?

[wordcross]

*is excited* how many more questions do we get, baba?

------------------
If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that a hostage situation?

[Baba]

Ok, final question for the dating game.

We've been dating for quite a while now and you realize it feels like the right time to pop the question. How do you propose to me?

------------------

[Stanley Yelnats]

Well... I can't use this idea if I post it, but it would be something of this nature.

I would film a short strip of myself saying the following.

"Hi, my name is Stanley Yelnats. You don't know me, and I'm sure you're excited for your movie to start, but I want to occupy just a little of your time. See I rented this space for the sole intention of what I'm about to do.

*gets on one knee in strip and in the theature*

Baba, we've been together for a while, and I've noticed you looking longingly at wedding dresses. I wanted to give you notice, that I've noticed this, and that I would love to be the one who gets to take you out of your wedding dress at the end of your wedding day. Will you make me the happiest poster on all of the GL and be my bride?"

At this point, I the screen would go white (to light up the theature), and I would present you with a ring (that you chose out, thinking it was just for fun.)

And then I'd hold my breath.

[Nicc]

Well, first, I would take you to a secluded spot i know where we could swim in the clear water beneath a cascade of mini-falls. After we have enjoyed ourselves for a bit, I would dive down and pick up the engagement ring that I had safely hidden in the pool bed the day before. When i surfaced, I would swim over to you and look deep into your eyes, loving you with every ounce of my soul as I told you how deeply i loved you. I would hold the ring up for you to see as I asked for your hand in marriage, never looking away from your beautiful face, waiting for any glimmer of light that signifies your acceptance, and breathlessly dreading the chance that you would say no. If you say yes, i would slip the ring over your finger and then kiss you until I couldn't breathe anymore. Please say you'll be mine!

[Henry]

Near where I live in my hometown, there's a huge private park filled with beautiful and exotic flowers. The owners don't let just anyone in there, you have to book ahead. People use it for photography sessions, weddings and the like. I would book the park for us for an entire day. It's completely secluded, with hedges all around, and it's set up almost like a labyrinth, but with some clearings and stuff, some big enough for functions (like I said, people get married in this place) and some just big enough for a picnic rug. I'd bring champagne and chocolate-coated strawberries along in a picnic basket. We would wander through the beautifully fragranced maze for as long as we wanted, then as the sun was going down I would take you to my favourite of the clearings... I'm not good with the names of flowers or anything, but this is a beautiful little area tucked right up in one of the corners, it's fairly large, but it has all these gardens through it of the most beautiful white flowers. Like I said, I don't know what they're called. We would picnic for a while, and as the moon started to rise, I would ask you to dance.
And as our bodies move together around the clearing, the fairy lights I've spent a week setting up properly will light up across the hedge on the far wall to spell the words "Marry Me". I would then fall down onto one knee, gazing up at you with tears in my eyes, hoping beyond all hope that you will make me the happiest man alive.

~kisses Baba gently on the cheek~ This game has been wonderful, and it's been an honour to get to know you better through these questions, my lady.

[Baba]

Ok, I've done a lot of thinking and I've come up with the answer to the question that's been occasionally surfacing in my mind since this game started. And that question, of course is: Who will be the winner of my dating game?

In the true 1960s Dating Game tv show fashion, I'll pick Bachelor #1. *hears bachelor get up from chair and walk over to me* Revealed is: Nicc!! And unlike 1960s DG tv show: *oversnogs Nicc*

I also want to congratulate Henry and Stanley Yelnats for playing a damn fine game of Dating Game. It was tough to pick out a clear winner cause your answers were so good.

*snogs Nicc again*

Now who are you?!
