Let me just start by saying I'm an incredibly young and stupid individual who just starting taking TRP maybe about 6 months ago. That being said I've started actually spinning plates and need some advice on how to deal with frequent stumps I've been experiencing. I'd really appreciate some feedback on some common issues I've had:

​

How to respond to "I'm not sleeping with you tonight."

So in the middle of hooking up, my date slips in "I'm not sleeping with you tonight." Typically I just say something snarky, turn them on a bit more, and at some point they say "Fuck it" and rip my clothes off. But I was wondering, what is the "correct" response to this? I've heard this one a lot and literally always end up changing their minds but not sure what the "best" way to go about it is.

​

How to respond to "If you think being a dick is attractive, it's not."

I don't think I'm a "dick" but my negs/pushes/etc, every now and again seem to push the girl off the deep end. Last night, my date "went to the bathroom", came back, and immediately told me to my face "If you think being a dick is attractive, it's not." How exactly would you respond? Would you tone it back or hold your ground? To be fair, this girl had just gone through a breakup and I actually think she wasn't able to handle it. Really double-guessed my whole game here.

​

How to respond to "What's your body count." / "What are you looking for?"

Did not expect this on a first date. Honestly just avoided the question and diverted but it wasn't a good look. How exactly would you respond generally?

​

Again, I understand these are very basic questions. I'm young and dumb, I know. Regardless, thank you for helping a young buck swallow the pill.
