As important things go, the first impression on your beloved one is a big one, one that brings sometimes painful memories (because it was an awkward moment), stress (trying to create rapport between you two), longiness (when you miss that one date when you met that special one) and happiness (because it went very well and you ended with someone great).\r\rThen, after coming up with the idea, i tried to represent it in a way that doesn't involves a gender directly (if you look closely, there's no defining characteristic in your avatar that predefines gender, you define it through the accesories). This was important because i didn't want a "bro-game" where everything is for the average hetero white caucasian male (demographic in which i'm included) nor do the PAX "Diversity Lounge" thing where you try to be so Diverse that you end up patronizing "Diverse" people.\r\rSo, after all, this game is about being yourself, that's why most people assume the other party is of certain gender and won't ask questions.\r\r:-D"},{"author_name":"Denis Chakarov","author_uid":"26461","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 5:15pm","epoch":1387559400,"text":"Man that's genius and hilarious!!!

You must inquire on the shops about your date so you get a good idea of what it likes or doesn't likes (people know more about its dislikes than likes). Then, after you have a nice idea of what your date likes and doesn't likes go and acquire the best balance between yours and hers\/his likes\/dislikes. Red=You don't like, Green=You like. Watch your confidence meter. Controls are crap, i know, my bad, focused more on content and humour and forgot to tune the controls.\r\n\r\nEDIT 2: The best outcome is >= 5 points, and the worst is <= -5. Both are relatively hard to achieve.","title":"FFirst Impression"}
