I swallowed the pill about 4 months ago and it's been a bitter one mostly due to the fact of the real nature of women. I wasn't completely beta, I just didn't know the rules of the game. So I've been in monk mode since the pill; working out, eating better, losing weight, reading, less PMO etc.

So I've been using this girl at work at work for practicing trp. Its incredible how easy it knowing how to apply silences, ignoring shit tests and holding frame. She's seen me lose 45+ pounds since we both started working at the same time. I've noticed signs of interests from her; hair playing while we are talking, leg fidgetting when she stops by my office to talk to me, longer eye contact etc. I've escalated contact as much as you can in an office; hair touching, stomach, hand, back. She's broke the contact barrier first by punching me in the shoulder at my jokes and feeling my bicep.

She's cute enough but I'm holding the old line of " don't shit where you eat" to be true. So for now I'm using her as practice since I have a lot to lose if I'm wrong.

Alright, so enough rambling. There is this other guy that talks to her as well. He's a like 4 years older than us ( we both are recent grads) and they seem to get along well. Honestly I think he more attractive than me, and in better shape but a complete beta; slouches, can't maintain eye contact with me at all, speaks in a very passive/quiet voice. He's been out of the office on assignments recently and when I talk to the girl at work she sometimes says "I wish xxx was here". I've been treating this as a shit test by just ignoring it. So my question is; is this a shit test and is my reaction appropriate?
