so im curious how to know when you've done enough negs? she replies to them, knowing im not being rude, tease her a couple min about somethin, i have small ioi's nothin great, should i just jump to a convo? maybe some routine to test her a little more?? honest answers help, thanks guys

gonna have to bump

There is no set amount. But negging too much makes you look like a fucking idiot. Keep it 50/50...1-2 compliments, then 1 neg.

Neg as needed.

How often should not be the question. Is when to neg. You need to be calibrated with your negs. Not all girls have bitch shields up. If you open a set and your target is already into you, there would be no point of negging. I blew sets like that often. In Fact, I don't even use negs now.

oh ok that makes sense thanks guys, also say you got her interest right ? does it matter what you talk about or should you keep it toward a certain topic??

Once you are getting IOI's there is no further need for negs until you get a shit test.
The purpose of negs is put your value/status as higher than the targets so to trigger attraction in them, once the attraction is there they have served there purpose.

Never neg once you are getting IOI's as you're providing negative reinforcment to a desired behaviour. It's like training a dog to stop barking by spraying it with a water jet whenever it does. If you start spraying it with water when it isn't barking then the whole thing is pointless and counter productive.

that makes a lot of sense! thanks, so after the ioi's, whats a good interesting conversation to start? or jus play it by ear?
