Just like the real thing, she demands that you pay a lot of attention to her and when you don’t she will call you or SMS you and want to know why.
What’s really fascinating about this is how the subscriber actually builds a relationship with the bot, which in turn learns and advances to new levels of play. But you have to be careful because you can get to the point where the v-girl proposes to you and introduces you to the virtual mother-in-law who will then proceed to call you in the evenings and ask you why are aren’t paying enough attention to her daughter.
