My GF is cool as hell, plays A&A too. Most of the time I have played (since I was 13) I have played with my father and uncles. When she got into the mix with us it was cool as hell to be able to tell my father (who was playing Russia, and my GF was Japan). “We have been playing this game 20 years now, you are the only one to have ever lost a capital to a WOMAN!”
She is fun as hell too. Joke around with her like she is one of my friends. A girl from work was hitting on me and it was driving her nuts. She quit a couple weeks ago, and when I told my GF about it she said “oh ya, I am sure you are really heartbroken… Connie was young, and thin, and pretty”.
I told her “oh baby, I don’t want a young, thin, pretty girl… I want you!”
Another time she told me “Zooey, (my real name is not zooey) if I ever found out you were cheating on me it would just kill me”.
I took her by the hand, looked into her eyes and said “Baby, I would never, never, EVER… let you find out”.
I know I got a great girl, if for no other reason… I’m not dead.
