Question on Ways to Approach 'Petulance Teasing'
Ya obviously it's some type of shit test. Context is we've been together for a while like at least a year ('LTR')
By petulance teasing I mean she goes 'hmf!! u like spending friendw tih ur friends more than me! (eg cycling bros, programmer bros)'. It's a very obvious played-for-tease thing but I have no idea what way(s) to deal with it are.
So far I've been doing some combination of the 2:
- ignoring her and continuing with what I want to talk about
- acknowledging with slight confusion and mirth but not directly dealing with the bullshit
These 2 I usually do by
- continuing to talk over her about the original subject (disregarding the tease)
- memeing about some random occurrence from my original subject (or the tease) eg. about needing to train my gleuts so I can be thicc like my cycling bros
I realize I'm at risk of actually entering her bullshit frame in this shit test (still). So I was wondering:
What other ways are there? I think it's not a very live-or-die shit test even though it comes off aggro/passive aggro a lot of the time before she switches back bc I accidentally made her laugh or highlighted a subject that made her interested
Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his #book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.
