Three unrelated separate questions:

  1. Shit test: How do you deal with the kind of shit test where you try to introduce any kind of "we" or "us" frame into the interaction and she calls you out on it. Like if you try to project a future with you both together somewhere and she kinda narrows her eyes with a little grin and goes "Hmmm, what's this 'we' all of a sudden, hm?". Body language tells me it's a joke and she's still into the interaction but I still don't know what to say when called out on concrete pickup moves like this. (What to do if body language is less responsive as well please).
  2. LMR: How do you deal with the thing that RSDTodd is talking about here (starting with "Have you guys ever had a girl do this?"). He describes this phenomenon and provides one possible solution but was wondering about others. His solution is to do a "pre-emptive freeze-out" but that assumes I know it's coming (hence "pre-emptive"). What if I don't see it coming and she does this though? By then it's too late to preempt. Why do girls do this?
  3. Closing: I've gotten ok at getting them back to my apartment but one of my sticking points is getting to business from there. We'll be walking around, bounce back to my place, but I don't want to just attack her with aggressive escalation right after closing my door. The vibe between me and the girl is great by the time we're at my place. I show her my stuff, whatever. Then what? How do I smoothly transition from "Yeah, this is my bookshelf. Check it out. This is actually a signed copy of....Hey, let me get some wine; I've got a bottle of...." to sex. Also, if we start in the living room, how do I lead her to the bedroom?

Appreciate it.
