Alpha, your thinking is right but I dont think it really ends up playing out that way. Its not meant to substitute for spontinaety (however ya spell that). But the situation didn't permit me to really go anywhere. I needed to stay and watch the results. So I went with what I could
The point is, by simply suggesting something outlandish and spur of the moment, you get the same ball rolling in her head.
I stole part of this from DeAngelo I must confess. He suggested talking about something like Bonnie and Clyde if I remeber right. I'm not gonna rob a bank or something with a girl. But by getting her wrapped up in the story, I conjure the same emotions in her brain. Its like Magic.
This works with any emotion. I have a girl I like to flirt with over AIM. She lives nearby but I'm more of an AIM person than a phone person. The other day, we played out an entire relationship by just screwing around and being funny about it. All that presupposing really worked. She didn't realize that I had changed her fundamental perception of me by playing a stupid game.
At the point in the game where I had left her for another woman (See what i did there???), I said "I think we should get together sometime. Like old times". And she asked, seriously, "OK, now do you mean that Really, or in our silly little soap opera?" My response? "Oh. I meant in the makebelieve game...sorry. Did I disappoint you?" And I actually did. So of course I took it as a cue to tell her that, in all seriousness, she and I should hang out again.
I've still got a lot to do in other areas like taking things to the next level, but I really am amazed at how much one can do by joking around and telling stories. They really do wonders for replacing action when action isn't possible.
Just make sure you back up your words with actions sometimes. Otherwise she's gonna think you're full of hot air. Which you are if you can't back up your words sometimes!
