I once met a cute girl at an event. We were getting along pretty well and she gave me her IG. She then tells me she’s going go school to major in business with specialization in real estate. Later that night I looked at her IG page and just see a bunch of pictures of her in Hawaii, the Caribbean, with fancy cars and handbags.
I ghosted her afterwards even though we scheduled a date thinking back i should’ve had her pay for dinner, smash, then ghost her

number one: dinner dates
your girlfriend might not be happy to cook for for you immediately after you start dating. in oriental culture, a male often displays his value by purchasing food and drinks at overpriced restaurants. understanding this key mechanic can make or break you as a beginner NeoRomancer. taking her to mcdonalds, or insisting on splitting the bill based on your comparative Sexual Market Values, can result in her displaying IABs (intercourse-avoidant behaviours).
number two: shopping
