Here is a fun little game I learned way back in Psych 101. You are going to have to use some of your cold reading skills and intuition but it is well worth the effort for what you learn about each other. The easiest way for me to show it to you is to just show you an interaction where I played it with the prom queen of my high school who I hadn’t talked to in years. ———————————————————————————–

Date: Apr 26, 2007 4:04 PM Okay here’s the answers… 1) White is my favorite color.
a) When I think of white & when I see white, I think clean, simple, fresh, and beautiful. b) Most people think it’s the absence of color, but really, in the visible light spectrum it is all colors combined. So really this is like saying my favorite color is the rainbow, and who hasn’t looked at a rainbow and sighed in awe of it’s beauty?
c) It reflects light the best, so there’s a sense of luminosity to it. Basically, it makes the world glow.
2) My favorite animal is a manatee.
a) They like a cross between a fish, a bear, an elephant, a sting ray, and a sea lion…how amazing is that?!
b) They are non aggressive herbivores. Basically sweet and friendly, and they look it. I’ve always thought of them as ‘the teddy bears of the sea.’
c) “They may use taste and smell, in addition to sight, sound, and touch to communicate. Manatees are capable of understanding discrimination tasks, and show signs of complex associated learning and advanced long term memory.”
-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manatee
…That’s just incredible, plus they get to swim all day.
3) I’m happiest when I’m next to any body of water, in any form, but if I had to choose it would be a river.
a) It’s a combination of the ocean and a lake. It makes the same glorious sound as the ocean hitting the sand, and has the beautiful white wash like the ocean, but it’s not salt water so you can drink it (if it’s fresh).
b) You can play in it! You can play in all three, but with a lake you normally need an engine, but with rivers you canoe, raft, & innertube (oceans do have surfing and sailing though) and your scenery is constantly changing. The scenery on the ocean is normally the same.
c) Lastly & most importantly, rivers normally aren’t crowded like lakes and beaches. When you’re in a river (or by) your surrounded by amazing trees and rocks, and normally not a lot of people, with the exception of friends.
So Dr. Race just exactly how crazy am I?
O..and the happy question. Yes, I am happy. I really reallly am enjoying school, and I’m glad I’m mature enough now, to really appreciate and treasure learning, knowledge, and the enviornment I’m in. I’m slowly and surely meeting people…sometimes it’s a little lonely though, but nothing unbearable. I really love the fact that I’m poor, haha. It’s true. It makes me appreciate what I have, and get creative when it comes to having fun, and I love my little ghetto 1 bedroom. It’s in downtown so I can walk to school, the art museum, the library, 16th st mall, clubs, lots of bakery’s, restaurants, and other food joints. However, I do like walking with someone more then by myself, but none the less, I still enjoy it!
Now it’s your turn. First of all, are you happy? How’s Vegas and what happened that made you decide to move there? Lastly, what are/were your answers to these questions?

i moved to Vegas to help my buddy become a rockstar…and I am totally having a blast that is not to say I am completely fulfilled…still looking the right girl who will compliment me nicely…none match up completely so far
About the Psychology Test: u r definately crazy…j/k i actually just made it up…it doesn’t mean anything haha
o u like being poor…i like being poor when i travel but not as much when i am in one place for a long time..but i hear ya about forced creativity u should see the things i have done to stay entertained!
ok so your favorite color is how others percieve u: so others see u as gay (the white=rainbow) haha
no they see u as bright, fresh, beautiful..you make the world glow –from what i remember about you..i would agree
ur favorite animal is how you see yourself: so you are sweet and friendly, express yourself through many different modes/senses, are a complex combination of many different amazing parts…oh ya and you are fat..haha j/k..just fluffy in an adorable “teddy bear of the sea kinda way” —you know i love u
now as for ur choice of the river, this is a reflextion of your sexuality…let’s take a closer look shall we?!
once again we see a combination of what you see as the best aspects of several options…in fact, this let’s me know you have a “both” mentality instead of an “either or”…you find ways to get all of what you want instead of just settleing for one or the other
the fresh water analogy tells me you find your sexuality as a source of
refreshment/nourishment…and if you go too long without expressing it you can get parched also you chose a place that is secluded (not many people/only your friends) tells me you are highly selective who you share your sexuality with…also it is a place of refuge for you. you like how you can play in it and how the scenery always is changing…so you like diversity and sense of playfulness to be incorporated in your sexuality
wow this is by far the longest one i have ever done…u must slightly facinate me now as far as my answers go…it was a long time ago and all i can remember is this: red – passionate, life giving, contrasting
tiger -independent, powerful,
ocean – teaming with life, deep/endless/mysterious, awe inspiring whatchu think about that?

whoa…it’s basically scary how accurate that is. I’m glad you’re having fun live’n the rock star dream with your buddy! It sounds like a blast. I wouldn’t worry about you finding a complimenting woman, Race. I’m actually surprised you’re single. Let me boost your ego a second. First of all, the one thing I always liked best about you was the way you challenged me, which sometimes was annoying cause it was just that…challenging. In you, I always saw a guy that was willing to challenge the normal way of thinking & living. Basically you had/have a brain of your own and you’re weren’t afraid to use it, and you would call people out if they were doing something wrong, but you were never a jerk about it, which brings up the second thing. The second thing that I always thought was amazing about you was that within all of your leadership qualities, you were always so gentle and kind with people. Not only are those 2 very rare qualities to find in any man, but to find both of those characteristics
in one man is just basically unheard of. So, don’t worry I have no doubt that she’s out there…and come on you’re in Vegas, there’s tons of fun love’n woman out there! So there’s your ego boost, and it’s all true.

As you can see this spikes her curiosity through the roof, allows you to playfully tease her and at the same time get insight into what type of person she is thus forming a strong sense of “we get each other”.
