This is based on an experience I had today. I made some light eye contact with a woman at the gym, wasn't going to pursue it but she was using some equipment that I also wanted to use so I asked her if I could work in. Right off the bat she hits me with a compliance test and asks if I can show her how to use the hyper extension bench. So I did, and then did some light flirting with her to be polite and go on with my day.

Not interested because she was post wall. Still, the experience nags me a little so I wanted to get some perspective from you guys. I assume she hit me with a compliance test because she was interested, but also wanted to see if I had beta bux potential. Or maybe she just wanted an excuse to check out my ass. Or maybe both, idk.

Shit tests I get at this point but I still have trouble understanding how to handle compliance tests. Did I "fuck up" by doing what she asked? Is there another way I could have handled it other than refusing like a total autist? How do I avoid looking like a beta in that situation? Is it a bad sign that I get hit with a compliance test right out the gate?
