@Dark108 I see plenty of RMV red flags in this woman. That said,

When I suggested meeting halfway, she refused and insisted I either pick her up or pay for her taxi. I stood my ground and said I’d only meet halfway.

If your aim is to get into her pants, why make this the hill the opportunity dies on? Why not drive the fuck out to her to run game on and feel her out in person? If it's a litmus test of her investment into you, you're testing her before she's been offered a reason TO get invested in you. In fact, there would probably be something wrong with a woman who WOULD travel past plentiful candidates near her to take a chance on more distant you.

Don't get so caught up in "not appearing to simp and supplicate to her" that you completely turn over the table of how men and women naturally meet up and get into relationships with each other based on thousands of years worth of built up imperatives.

21-Year-Old IG Girl Keeps Asking My Age & Wants Me to Pamper Her – Red Flag or Just Testing?

Met a 21-year-old Indian girl who can’t cook or drive. She claims she hasn’t had sex but has “done stuff” with guys. She has 40k Instagram followers and expects the guy to pamper her, pick her up, and pay for everything.

When I suggested meeting halfway, she refused and insisted I either pick her up or pay for her taxi. I stood my ground and said I’d only meet halfway. She wasn’t happy, and we hung up.

When I met her, she was selling something and was impressed by me, saying I’m a “real man” and that most guys don’t know how to handle themselves. She even said I should take the sale from her, and I joked, “You’re lucky I’m taking your number.”

One thing that keeps coming up—she won’t stop asking my age. I keep dodging the question with jokes, but she keeps pushing. Is this just a test, or does it mean she sees me as too old?

Is she just another IG girl looking for free stuff, or am I missing something? Would appreciate thoughts.

I don't even know you from a hole in the wall and I think you could do better then wasting your time and energy on some curry eating narcissist.

Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.
