Okay, I'm whipping this out for y'all:
Haz's Star Wars theory of Creating Drama about the Opposite Sex
Step 1: Be Darth Vader.
Step 2: Be Yoda.
Step 1, expanded: Okay. Did Darth Vader ever call Luke up and say "Hey, Luke, we need to talk" or any direct contact? No! He went to EVERYONE ELSE and got a ton of bounty hunters and armed them and planted his evil mercenaries amongst Luke and his friends, even getting to the friends themselves. Lando, anyone?
So, the first stage is to tell EVERYONE ELSE about this person, how you feel, how they make you feel, your frustrations, and give blatant hints to anyone even remotely connected (or not!) but refuse to talk about it to the party involved. That's right, talk to their friends, your friends, drop hints and references in all of your conversations, but never, EVER catch yourself with that person.
Step 2, expanded: When they get so frustrated that they call you out (or you decide to step it up) be as cryptic as possible, making sure that conversation goes around in circles and nothing gets resolved. Give mixed messages. Give them the cold shoulder, but invite them to be alone with you. Ask them out, but then refuse to acknowledge that it was a date. Call them up to give more jumbled mishmash, but make it sound as meaningful, important, and as loaded as possible.
And thus, we have the Star Wars theory of drama. Anyone who has experienced this (in either gender) can relate, no?
