Hey guys, not new to TRP but I (20 yo) am new to interacting with girls having never really talked with girls all throughout high school.

THE INTRO - THE HB5

Right now I'm working as a senior intern with a few other junior interns. ( I know I shouldn't shit where I eat but the internship is only 4-5 months and we're all from the same school) One of them happens to be a HB5 (19 yo). To be honest, I'm not really attracted to this chick. The only good thing i can say about her is she has a nice ass. Besides that she has a butter face and is your typical college basic bitch girl.

THE GAME

Regardless of her lack of value, I've tried "gaming" her to some extent just to get practice since I do not have experience. (WARNING: I am a noob to interacting with girls so don't expect that I've made it very far. I want to practice displaying alpha traits in an easy environment before I actively game with intent). My game consists basically of teasing, light fun, holding frame as much as possible, and some light kino maybe?

The kino is a bit weird (not sure if it is kino at all even) because I can't tell if she is just really comfortable with people in her personal space (she appears to be the same with the other guys). She'll poke me sometimes, grab my arms sometimes, and stands close to me a lot (sometimes leaning on me with her legs). I haven't noticed her do a lot of these things with other guys except maybe stand or sit really close to them.

I'll also tease her a lot by keeping it fun, sexual jokes and whatnot. I make fun of her a lot for my own amusement and it seems cool. She does this a lot with the other guys as well though. Also, being the senior intern it is partly my responsibility to overlook her and the other interns and make sure they are doing their job. I frequently give them orders, instructions, and advice on how to handle their projects. Wondering if this gives me alpha points?

THE OTHER GUYS

The rest of the guys all display alpha qualities to some extent. There's only one guy who appears to have a few beta traits early (caring about his popularity and likability, not holding frame, giving in to her demands.) Lately though, I've seen him give less and less of a fuck about her.

THE SHIT TEST

A couple weeks ago when we were discussing something business related when I casually mentioned that "Long term stuff is a bad idea" (it was about some kind of contract). She asked if i meant that I don't do long term relationships and I kinda just changed the subject without answering.

Today she was riding the whole girlfriend shit test. We were discussing weekend plans when she asked if I was visiting my girlfriend on my out of town trip. (I don't have a girlfriend). I just smiled and ignored her. Later she randomly asked me what my girlfriend studies. I just smile and change the subject without answering her. She obvoiusly resists trying to guess what major she might be in and stuff and I just continue smiling, ignoring, and working.

THE QUESTION

I was wondering:

1) What type of shit test is this?

2) What is the crux of why she keeps mentioning it?

3) What are some good ways to respond?

4) Is it possible that this has something to do with the fact that the other guys are giving her less validation/fucks about her now so she testing to see if I am a beta in some way?

5) Am I overcomplicating the fuck out of this shit and should I just continue doing what I'm doing?

Stay red guys, I appreciate your advice.
