[he gives him an awkward peck on the cheek before turning his own face away]
It's—I'm not entirely certain. I told someone that I would be courting her, so I thought perhaps my demonstrations should be romantic, though she is not a romantic interest, that's all.
Ah. Then the first step might seem trivial or even insulting, but 'tis simple.
Listen.
Truly listen to not only their words, but their tone and language. From there much will be revealed. And from there you can start building the relationship. Most people cannot help but talk of themselves especially when prompted with interest.
If learning how to read and inspire others is your wish, then consider that your first set of homework. If not, such is our wont as well. It can be a tiring thing.
This person likes games, guns, coffee, reading, and—Christmas. I've seen her painting on a bench in the park. She enjoys being around people and making friends. As for dislikes, nothing stands out. On our date, we spoke of things we liked, and that was the focus.
But I could not tell you a thing about Yvette and Lily, nothing that is as simple as that.
[This feels much more constructive than destroying his kingdom, truthfully.]
If she enjoys this festival, decorate her room or give here those red flowers --- ah, they had a name that sounded sharp and pointed that I can't recall. Or start a holiday tradition together.
If you already have had a date, you have defeated the hardest part. Catching their eye.

You've enticed my curiosity and I do like puzzles. Is this a short or a long term endeavor?

Unless your mind has changed on your ultimate goal.
Re: Sunny
I will listen to her, then... but I do not know if that is enough to prove anything.
Re: Sunny
If you were try to influence Lily or Yvette, how would you go about it?

Re: Sunny
But we should start with the beginning. What have you observed with each? Their likes. Their dislikes. Their passions.

[he won't comment on anything else, his awkwardness is continuing to seep in]
Re: Sunny
It is a tactic I've found quite successful.
Re: Sunny
But from henceforth, let's not speak of this again. You never heard anything from me.

Then I wish you luck on the rest of this game.
