Here are signs that you lost frame long ago and should consider a Soft or Hard Next:

  • She demands/hints at dinner/gifts/anything material => Instant Soft next

  • She complains that other girls' guys get nice treatment, but she doesn't (this can be a comfort test... but highly suspect) => Soft next or at least a red flag raised

  • She calls you names or a "cheap ass" => Hard next or a month long Soft Next if you wish to be a pussy and let her off "easy"

  • Withholds sex or affection => Soft next for 7 days. She does it again? Keep doubling the Soft next duration for each iteration.

  • Tells other people about how you behaved and shames you => Soft next for a couple weeks or a straight up Hard next

  • You hamster about "what should I do?" Or "what should I buy her". FAIL

Signs that you have good frame:

  • She doesn't ask about Valentine's day leading up to the day ( but you still have sex with her that day or shortly before/after)

  • She offers to make you dinner/buy you your favourite beer (dangerous to accept since it means she is turning you into a boyfriend...tread carefully)

  • SHE wishes you Valentine's day FIRST via text

  • She doesn't say anything to you about Valentine's day on, before, or after the day (yet you still fuck her after the day like nothing happened)
