Play to win is Chase's 2011 line: if you want her, take chances that can actually produce her — a number with a time, a bounce, a kiss — not chances designed to keep you unembarrassed.[1]
Method
- Name the result you would accept tonight (talk, instant date, Day 2).
- Make a move that can produce it. Hovering is playing not-to-lose.
- Collect the noes. That is the cost of playing.
Failure mode
Doing a lot of almost: almost opening, almost leading, almost asking. Activity without a win condition.
