Quality over quantity my man. Quality of how the convo is going and how you're progressing sexually tops any amount of time it takes if its dry and platonic

"Good to know.. are you adventurous Nina?" qualifying, & aiming for soft close
She'll respond something like "Very" "Somewhat" "Depends"
Either way respond with "How do you feel about drinks and witty banter with a handsome Russian?" soft close
If she bites, continue to close: "Do you like wine" "Let's split a bottle sometime soon" etc.

"You'd enjoy it more if I whispered it in your ear.."

Wow bro. Not sure what she's trying to accomplish. Honestly bro just go for "I see. Do you like wine"

Yeah man, avoid anything with bad logistics. Don't go to her area if you KNOW it won't be successful. See what she says and we'll go from there

Would've gone for "Lady's first ;)" , regardless, follow up in a day or two with "Don't be shy"

Not sure what you're asking since you already responded. Your response was fine, if she doesn't work with you on that one then go for "Not even willing to meet in public?"

Need to leave this platonic convo asap. Go for "Love it. You'll have your attempts to seduce me with your financial knowledge on our romantic date ;)"

"Not sure, we haven't met yet. I'll have a more informed opinion on our romantic date ;)"
