@thats_a_penis_disgustang,
If you're pulling down like $5K/day shooting weddings, you're probably also ridiculously busy.
On top of that, you have huge career ambitions.
I don't know how your prior relationships have ended, but if I was you the first frame I'd probably be trying out would be:
- I have literally zero time right now, pretty much all I do is hustle 24/7
- I feel like such a douche, the last relationship I was in the girl almost died from neglect, lol
- I'm probably not going to be slowing down any time in the next 5 years
I would not say any of that directly tied to any kind of "so blah blah what are you looking for" conversation, except the second one, which you can drop if she asks about prior relationships.
Instead, just work that in RANDOMLY to the conversation, totally unrelated to anything she says about relationships.
It does not need to be connected to those. She will make the connections herself.
e.g.:
HER: blah blah last week at my crochet class etc. etc.
YOU: Where do you get time for that? You just have space on the weekend and say "Hey, how about I take a class?"
HER: Yeah, pretty much! [laughs]
YOU: Wow. That's like another life!
HER: You don't have time to take a class?
YOU: I have literally zero time right now. The only thing I do is hustle 24/7. Three hours off a week for a single coffee meet like this. That's all I get.
HER: Wow. That's a lot.
YOU: Yeah. So blah blah [change topic]
This is one I have personally used and like using a lot (the "time poor perpetual hustler" frame). Wasn't using it yet at the time I wrote the boyfriend disqualification article which is why it's not in that one.
But the frame hits hard, and you'll know it's hit because she starts weaving in sporadic questions like these every 5-10 minutes:
- "So do you really only have time for like a single coffee meet-up per week?"
- "How long are you going to maintain a schedule like that?"
These are just her stress-testing whether you really don't have time for a relationship at all.
If you are chill but firm about it, and portray yourself as, yes, a super, SUPER busy guy, she is normally just going to conclude on her own that a relationship with you would be hell.
Then, if you are still sexy, she will decide to go to bed with you.
The only part that gets a little suspicious is if your date runs long and you don't seem overly worried about time, lol.
That's easily correctible though.
Just pull out your phone, tell her you need to check your schedule, tell her to wait a minute while you fire off this text, then tell her it's okay, we can keep hanging out.
(i.e., you just rearranged your schedule a bit for her)
But she is going to assume that is she is actually dating you, you are not really going to be doing that very much (so, once again, dating you would be hell... as successful/ambitious as you are, you are for
hookups only!).
