This is meant to be about breaking out of your comfort zone (and we Peeps are at all different levels of that so I tried to make it as fair as possible). With that in mind, this isn't a 'sex' game either so there are only a few points for physical actions.
Eye contact with a stranger = 1 point
Smiling at a stranger = 1 point
Initiating an email (or wink) on a dating site = 1 point
Any conversation on a dating site that makes it to 10 replies back and forth = 5 points
Starting a conversation with a stranger in public = 5 points
Flirting with someone you don’t fancy = 10 points
Asking for/or giving out your phone number = 20 points
Asking someone you know to fix you up = 25 points
Telling someone you’re not into them (instead of poofing) = 25 points
Attending any social event/function you wouldn’t normally (including dates you would might have previously said no to) = 30 points
Flirting with someone you fancy = 50 points
First kiss = 50 points
Starting an online dating profile (only valid if you don’t already have one) = 50 points
Asking someone you like out on a date = 50 points
Asking a stranger out on a date = 100 points
Having a one night stand = 100 points for women / -10 for men
Sincerely telling someone you love them = 100 for men/ 1 for women
Going to a bar on your own and flirting with someone = 500 points
We have to go on the honor system, so add a post anytime you do anything from the list and keep track of your own points there! If you do anything not on the list, or thing something should be added....let me know and we'll figure out some points.
Everyone starts at 0 again. 0-99 is the AA, 100-999 is AAA, 1000+ is Majors.
Good luck Peeps and have fun!!!!

Woah, why do girls get 100 points for a fling and guys lose 10 points?

LMAO.... I'm just the scorekeeper ...
I think it's a valid question, though....... Whoever made this one last go round, please 'splain yourself.

It's a double standard. When a woman has a one night stand she is liberated. When a guy has a one night stand he's a user douche.
Though in all honesty I think it's because this is about "getting out of your comfort zone" and guys tend to be more okay with one night stands than women from a societal point of view.0 -

I get what you're saying, but I don't know that that has any effect on how many one night stands women have vs men. I would guess it's pretty even. I mean, those guys are having one night stands with women, right? The straight ones, at least. That would imply those women are doing the same.
I don't have one night stands, but I might make an exception if someone needs help earning 100 points.0 -
I'll try to play this month - it's a bit less absurdly busy than last. Lots to do, but less travelling!0

I also believe that there should be something that gives negative points for women but there isn't.0

The love thing is 1 pt for women 100 pts for men.0 -

Does this include animals? If so, I have a trip to the animal shelter/pet store in the near future.0 -
What a ridiculous double-standard!
I'm male, yet I'd be infinitely more likely to tell someone I love them over having a one-night stand... I just wouldn't/couldn't do that.0 -
I compiled the scores based on suggestions everyone made. If you don't like the point system, please feel free to make new suggestions. Nothing here is set in stone.
Oh and Run, you should play now that you're fully single again!0 -
LOL, you guys are taking this way too seriously. It's meant as a joke and isn't serious anyway, don't get yer panties in a wad. I don't believe anyone actually claimed those points regardless!
If I wanted to talk about how things are unfair I would claim that the "love" thing is unfair for me because I have a very difficult time with emotions, so if I take that step it's HUGE but I only get 1 point? :laugh:0 -

If it includes animals I have a lot of 1 pointers to claim. It might put me in the lead of the majors.0 -
I'm playing this month.
Although, I've closed all of my online accounts...gonna have to step up my IRL game.... I had lunch with a girlfriend yesterday and commented on a handsome guy. She says "yeah, not like you're gonna act on it". I agreed. She says "are you f*cking kidding me! You haven't gotten over that yet!" I have gotten better, but just not completely... This will be good..
My suggestion on the one night stand would be 50 points across the board as a compromise. I don't know that it's a good placement in the "dating game", however I do believe that our group of men and women are equally spread to have the one night stand...
Also thinking the same with the I love you... 50 points?
baxy - Are you playing?0 -

Alrighty peeps.... post your scores from the weekend so I can get this ball rolling.... (if you dare....mwahahaha) :devil:0

Scores from the weekend: 0.
Worked all weekend. As usual. I played in a charity basketball game, and met a lot of people, but I wouldn't count any of that as points as out of my comfort zone.
Put me back in the rookie league, I'll be here for awhile =(0 -
2. Smiled and made eye contact with a cute guy at the gas station today!0
-
Also thinking the same with the I love you... 50 points?
Just hoping someone's life is not irreparably damaged so a participant here can "win" February. :-)

I totally fail at this. This weekend was full of completely necessary tasks that had zero flirtation opportunity, unless one counts flirting with a camera! (ie. thinking naughty thoughts in an endeavour to achieve a certain twinkle in the eye in a photograph)0

Total = 90 or 40?0 -
I had a very male barren weekend. I might have to do some pointless flirting just to get it out of my system.0
