I figured that'd look a little desperate or thirsty.

Not if you did it right.

Being manipulative can be a good trait, as long as you're aware of it.
It is, however, good to be aware of the thin line that you shouldn't cross.
The first law of Imtg is a nice example for such a line: "do not do unto others what you wouldn't want done to yourself".
If you feel like you can manipulate people into a better life, that's good.
For example, the ride. She could enjoy it and get over her fear. If, on the other hand, you're trying to create a trauma, that's a bad way.

A psychotherapist can be helpful, but can also destroy your persona.

it wasn't with the intent to traumatize her, any who goes on the ride would be scared out of their wits, which would release endorphins which causes bonding.  But without realizing it, i put the dots together to further my agenda.

Yet you stopped and thought, and then came to this conclusion. It could be something to be wary about in yourself, yet only if you find you want to control it, yet can't, does it become a problem. (IMHO)

Except I only recognize I'm doing it when it's too late. :/

Keep paying attention to yourself. It's like training reflexes, but mentally. You'll catch yourself sooner.

Don't read too far into things if you don't have to.

[Kaylesh]

I'm guessing, but she may have gotten your clues after all.

Okay.
I just slept for four hours on the beach.
Woke up with a mouthful of sand.
Good day.

Taysby, if you keep catching yourself doing things like that, maybe you aren't fit fir a serious relationship? Only works when each party puts the other before themselves.

Meh. I wouldn't count that as a good beach.

Why is that?
It's a nice island.

Subtle manipulation is no good, but subtle manipulation for the right reason can lead to something good. For example, I subtly manipulated a friend to leave her boyfriend because he was a controlling, mean, manipulative sack of crap that didn't really care for her, she is now much happier.
