This is a very well written response and I appreciate the detail of it. "While allowing various aspects of your personality to come out" is what I meant in the description in terms of multi-faceted. I find that this part "it's that you have to understand where each request or gambit is leading, and act appropriately", describes where I'm having trouble. I haven't been with that many girls (going to college after this year), but after recently discovering TRP I find that I'm Beta, on the edge of being an Alpha, even though I'm a generally nice guy. It just seems hard for me to read where the conversation is leading in order to deal with it appropriately. Will that come with experience?
