mystery:
listen, have you ever seen a cat play with a string? well, when the string is dangling above its head, just out of reach, the cat goes crazy trying to get it. it leaps in the air, dances around, and chases it all over the room. but as soon as you let go of the string and it drops right between the cat's paws, it just looks at the string for a second and then walks away. it's bored. it doesn't want it anymore.
style:
so...
mystery:
so that girl moved away from you when you put your arm around her. and you ran right back to her like a puppy dog. you should have punished her - turned away and talked to someone else. let her work to get your attention back. after that, she made you wait while she talked to that dork.
style:
what should i have done?
mystery:
you should have said, "i'll let you two be alone," and started to walk away, as if you were giving her to him - even though you knew she liked you more. you have to act like you are the prize.
mystery:
yeah, be the dancing string.
