Will you ever find someone or will you end up alone?

Do you always get rejected? Or do you never even get a straight answer? Do you spend your life trying to read between the lines and decoding mixed messages? Do you honestly ever even ask? Are you afraid of rejection?

This game is for you. Anyone can play, anywhere. All you need is someone to play with.

The rules are simple:

When you ask someone on a date and get rejected, you gain a point. It should be in earnest - people you'd actually want to date. It can't be someone you've asked before, or someone you know will reject you. Only a "no" counts as rejection, so try to get a straight answer.
If you do get on a date, the game is paused until it doesn't lead to a second date (you gain a point and the game resumes) or does (at which point the game ends and the person with most points wins).
You should settle on a prize before you start. It can be anything. A fancy dinner, a shoulder rub, all the ice-cream you can eat.
The point count is based on honor - you don't need to name the people you asked or what they said for the sake of their privacy.

Think of who you play with. If you play with your drop dead gorgeous friend who's never been out of a relationship, you might win, but it's going to be a short game. Try to find tough competition. People with high standards or outlandish morals. Geeks and weirdoes. People with odd habits or disabilities. Single parents and those with unusual sexual tastes. People of any background, age, sexual orientation or gender or lack thereof can play.
