i love prideful playfulness...a lot.

Most people like a challenge and what's better if it's a friend or potential partner? I think playful challenges can be a way to get to know someone by getting them comfortable and allowing them to just open up. I mean, it's not like I lose often to my fiancée. ;_; I love the competitive feel, while not getting emotionally invested aka angry or butt hurt. However, I tend to egg the other person on and press thier buttons.XD

A thousand "OMG-YES!"s for Yasshat. You want quality bonding time? Get your partner and yourself some nerf guns, and turn the house into a war zone with pillow and blanket forts all over the place. And just let the nerf darts fly without any objectives other than having fun. Ah, I could never date a girl who couldn't level with my inner child. ^____^
