I feel like recently i’ve been a couple of situations where I’m sort of faced with a shit test and I have to remind myself that it’s a test and answer in a way, where I don’t 100% agree with what I said, but I know what said is the right answer.

But sometimes I feel like I genuinely get thrown off with what’s said like for example matched with a girl, we talk everything’s perfect, we plan a date for tomorrow then she says she has instructions for tomorrow, “No kissing on the first date as it’s a turn off” I got a bit thrown off as I haven’t heard that over text before and I said “Don’t worry I’ve never kissed a girl in my life” and she laughs it off. Then she says out of the blue some guy also just asked her out and that I have competition. I didn’t reply to that yet as I genuinely got thrown off by that.

I’m not asking specifically for this situation but how do you know what to say in situations? Like what’s the thought process with this.
