recently, a couple of my female friends have playfully called me out on being too argumentative. the fact that these two friends don't even know each other and yet independently said this within a few days is what struck me.

so, I do the c/f routine a lot. it works pretty well, but I usually have trouble transitioning to comfort. I think that's why I'm coming off as argumentative. so: how to respond when girls call me argumentative? and is it a bad thing?

actually, there was this one girl that definitely was into me, at first. I think though the other day she got tired of playing verbal joust with me and of waiting for me to escalate, so she got turned off. any way to rectify this?
