Regarding the canned openers I don't have a criticism but I feel there's some nuance behind it.
I have a theory that they're more likely to work for you if you have high SMV to start with. You've done very well to maximize your SMV, so no surprises they work for you. My SMV, for example, needs a lot of work, which forces me to be very creative with my texting/game if I'm ever to land a date. I've yet to have a single meaningful convo that follows the standard Hey trouble -> you're my type/you have my weaknesses -> wine close formula. Not for a lack of trying.
"Don't break my heart. Bad boys need love too. Do you like wine?" then soft close again is what I'd do. good luck
The part about reviewing convos before the date is very relatable. I'll also add a note to it: It helps to review your own profile on the app you met also. Usually the girl will look you up on the app before the date and evaluate you for congruence on the date. So, if I make profile changes often or keep them different between apps, I've found it useful to quickly give a once over to my own profile, because that's the "me" I want to bring to the date.
Hey man, this is just proof that there are some horrible people out there. Nothing more, nothing less. Fuck that chick.
I'd also add the sexualization is little uncalibrated here. You went from basic flirting straight to full on details. I know I'm saying this with the benefit of hindsight, and this could have worked if the girl was super horny or super into you. My approach to sexualizing is giving bits of information at a time to keep the girl chasing for more. When I feel the pull is not there, I can pull back myself more easily. Just my 2c.
Here's how I moved forward if anyone's curious.
Me: Oof sorry to hear that. I walked right into that one. On a happier note, when was the last time you
Her: Omg no worries at all :) lol yesterday
"I'm not changing sexual orientation.....again
