While SSM forum women wouldn't bat an eye at the above, it's apparently relationship catnip for normal women who were previously uninterested in relationships.
If you straight-up told the girl you weren't interested in a LTR (or even if you used some sort of easily translatable male code) then it's her bad no matter what animal stew you brought to the table. However, if you want my opinion on the matter, you're less likely to get yourself into that kind of predicament if you use the monkey to balance the wolf rather than the puppy or the St. Bernard. For instance, don't wave goodbye all misty eyed at the door or ask her to call to tell you she got home safe if you aren't in relationship mode. That kind of stuff confuses us if we have our own oxytocin buzz to deal with - lol. Keep it more jolly like smack her on the *ss as she leaves and say "Stay cute." or something like that but less lame.
P.S. Who are these guys who ask women how many men they've been with? Yikes. I'd be like "Several more than the minutes left in this relationship."
