Ah, enough with the griping about macros, afker, tipping, reminders, and flourishes!
Today a lad entered the Cantina and I greeted him in my usual way. He sat down and started watching, groovy. I ask him how he's doing. Nuthin. Then, I get a /tell from him telling me that I'm really pretty. Yup, I knew I wanted to be a dancer, I worked hard making every aspect of my char as appealing and versatile in looks as possible. I thank him for his compliment. He tells me he thinks he is in love with me. I laugh. Now, he's wounded! Why would I laugh? Duh - you just walked in. I've never even had a conversation with you and you're in love? Now, all of the sudden, he's down on one knee! CRAP! I click NO. What!? Why not! Dude - I don't know you. Well - what do I want to know? I dunno... what're you like? (Kif, at this point, can't think of anything beyond "Have you ever spent time in a facility I ought to know about?", but doesn't want to be rude). "I'm a REBAL" he tells me. Aha. Grade eight english. 13-14yo max. Lotsa guys are rebels, I tell him - that doesn't tell me anything about you.
Long story short, he proposed four more times in the next half hour, followed me to the bank and shopping, demanding to know why I hated him. Gah! Dude! I don't know you! I wouldn't bother investing the emotional energy in feeling ANYTHING as strong as hate! Then why won't you marry me? What? When did that happen? when was marriage based on a lack of hate? Hello!? Finally, he left (not too sure - haven't been in in a while now) telling me that he had loved me, and I had destroyed that love. I'm seeing a restraining order in the future.
Dude did not tip me, did not even buy me a steak dinner and he's down on one knee!
Hahaha
This has happened to me a few times - just ask them to 'prove' their love, like buy you a Large House or something ![]()
Heh...
When I danced in the cantinas nitely grinding, I would get proposed to several times a day. My stock answer was always, "In my profession, marriage wouldn't be prudent...why would you want to be married to a stripper?" /evilgrin /wink.
This always seemed to work without ruffling too many feathers for me ![]()

ps...if that didn't work...I could always /duel them. Nothing more humiliating that being given a nice long dirt nap via being pistolwhipped by a short chick in a bikini!
Course, Swann is allergic to marriage. Maybe it puts off the wrong vibes.
I have been proposed to, propositioned to do things in less than polite ways, ect ect .. as all of us dancers have been I am sure.
My responce to marriage is "Sorry sweety I am already spoken for" it is the truth, my husband and I have so far played several MMORPG's together, always as a couple .. it makes the game fun for both of us, and neither of us feel left out when the other is online for hours on end hehe.
All other propositions I usually respond to in a polite manner with a bit of humor, there are some emotes that make it easy like /blush /giggle. Being propositioned to cyber and the like offends me, but I am always nice about it, I tell the person sorry cant wont dont , they usually take it in stride, and some tip me heavily for being so honest.
The only time I've been proposed to was in Theed, by a Trandoshan. I would have been flattered, but he was working his way around the room trying to marry every dancer there ![]()
I seem to be a magnet for romantically obsessed stalkers. Maybe my friendliness sends the wrong message - when I flirt with guys I don't know, it is never sexual. Maybe it's because there just aren't too many human females in a Twi'lek dominated profession.
At first it really annoyed me, but I've learned to RP it - my character is a very free-spirited wanderer who hates entanglements. If that doesn't do the trick, I'm just "too busy" to go to the Lake Retreat to look at the scenery (why do they all think that's my idea of fun?). After enough "too busy" they tend to get the hint.
A guy who is really after my heart will invite me on a death huntto Lok and get me incap'd a few times ![]()
There's a sig waiting to happen.
Since my husband turned me on to gaming with him.... SMART MAN.. (still cost him a second rig he has to keep updated.. i'm picky); I've been through 3 mmorpg's with him. We too have always gotten married in game and play as a couple but this one is the most enjoyable by far. He is a good lookin Zabrak, If I say so myself and I'm a Twi'lek so that just lends to a slave idea. In game, I am his most beloved and his slave. I am a free spirit that enjoys flirting with the customers and have too received all of the regular responses to the most strange. For proposals.. I am married to my master.. men seem to get a kick out of that... and there is an occassionaly cheer for either him or me. My RL husband and I play side by side.. so he always get's a kick out of it too. It has added more snickers here and there for us and who knows.. he may actually have to defend my honor someday... but not as long as i'm dancing for the paying costomer's and turn up in sexy outfits... I keep the best for my husband, of course ![]()

Never underestimate a slave; they will always know more than you do.
