During my first week at college, I met a girl, HB7/8 who I got fairly interested in. I was still bluepill at the time (I just got into TRP maybe 2 weeks ago) but I think I tried my bluepill best. I got her number fairly quickly and instinctively tried to escalate. Anyways, she asked me point blank in front of a group of acquaintances if people ever thought I was gay. It was a pretty sharp shit test and unfortunately timed. I dropped the ball completely, stammered something about not being gay and she lost interest after that. In hindsight, I blew the shit test and lost what little cred I had built up with her. I've been doing my sidebar readings, so I know it was an obvious shit test, but I'm fairly confused about what would have been an effective response. I don't see for example how amplifying would have helped.
