Interesting game.
Reading through the notes in here, I see that a number of people were a little... put off with Christine. Yeah. She is a little domineering, but... I have a feeling that she had a lot of men dominate the hell out of her... break her trust in men on the whole. Adrian is following her lead mostly from fear, but also because he can see the shy, frightened little girl inside all those walls she has put up. He is being patient and giving her the reign so that she can learn that he is NOT the same as those other guys.
Now... Were I Adrian, after about the third date, I would have taken her hand and said, (Oh... I know y'all are thinking I am gonna dump her, but.....) "Christine. I love you. I don't know yet if I am IN love with you, but I do care about you greatly. You keep testing me. Looking for my breaking point -- how long it takes me to lie to you, cheat on you, or dump you. Well, guess what. You don't need to test. I am here. I want to be with you. I care about you. The only thing that is gonna POSSIBLY drive me away is if you keep feeling that the only way you can know that for sure is if I keep passing your tests. If I hurt you... treat you like the assholes from your past... kick my ass and keep looking. But I am not gonna do that, so..." Then, I would place a hand on each of her cheeks and give her a passionate, deep, lasting kiss. Let go of her. And say, "Well... the ball is in your court. You gonna trust me or kick me out?"
But, hey... that's just me.
