I ideally prefer 3 plates at a given time.

If I implement a strategy like the one below, when would a plate break? 6 months? Shorter?

Avoid the conversation, but if it comes up, some possibilities: Tell her you want to see where things go; you aren't interested in a relationship right now; you are afraid of commitment because your uncle got his hand bitten off by an alligator; you don't want her to develop feelings for you because you are a government spy and you may have to disappear suddenly; stick it in her butt.

If I avoid goodbye kisses, goodmorning/night texts, dates (where I pay for her shit), constant communication but if I cuddle a lot after sex, be very affectionate when we see each other, would this decrease the lifespan of plate?
