I've always been bad at this and recently blew up a few lays just because I didn't pass some key shit tests. So here's something from my own experience:

Girl 1, I talked with her earlier and fucked up before getting her in my bed. Here she is a week later after we both went cold:

Her: "heyy"

Me: "sup"

Her: "you're so rude 😢" <- Shittest, doesn't make sense but I felt bad and almost fucked up

Me: "yup, I'm rude as fuck girl 🌝" <- Test passed, agreed and amplified almost said "I'm not rude lul" yes it sounds stupid but that's the first thing that crossed my mind because of the pressure

Her: "yeah you are sometimes 😂"

Her: "are you going to X"

Me: "If you go, I won't" (here I'm just playing with some push and pull)

Her: "yooo why are you like thisssss" <- Shittest(?

Me: "Cuz I hate you and you know it" <- Test passed(? Not sure about this one

Her: "don't say that 😢" <- Shittest, almost fucked up again

Me: "Cry" <- Test passed, standing my ground

Her: "Are you going or what? 🙄" <- She's being serious here

Me: "yup"

The rest is history.

Girl 2 on tinder saw that she had the señorita song as one of her favorites:

Me: "I loooove it whennn you call me seeeñoritaaaa"

Her: "Do you like to be called señorita?" <- Shittest, felt an attack to my masculinity

Me: "Yup, I'm all a señorita except in bed" <- Test passed, agreed and amplified

Her: "hahahahaha"

Her: "Okay that's good"

End.

This shit is hard guys, it literally feels like a betrayal to my values cuz I have to look bad and be okay with it. I'm pretty sure you guys have experienced the same pressure and felt the defensive instinct kicking in. This is just a remainder to keep you on your feet.

What other techniques are out there that I should try?

Some tests I didn't pass: "We are not going to fuck tonite" <- She said while literally kissing and touching each other like teenagers. Didn't fuck her cuz I didn't pass it. Happened twice with 2 different girls. "Okay let's hang out but just as friends" <- Shittest a few days after kissing her because I fucked up the first one. Probably would've had another chance, didn't go out with her anyways.
