When a girl asks what is the worst things you've ever done what is a good response without giving it away? I met this girl a couple of days ago and we were talking on skype earlier today for a couple of minutes when she asked this question. When I wouldn't tell her she said she was going to hang up on skype and since then I have not heard a peep from her. I know not giving into her once she made the threat was a good idea since backing down at that point would seem weak, but what is a better way of handling it than flat out saying "not going to happen"? Since I've messaged her since then both on skype and through text the ball is in her court now either way
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

This one is actually pretty easy Whizzy. Chase, in one of his articles, talks about conversing with women after you elevate your game, and talking about weaker qualities you used to have before you became socially attuned. That being said, when a girl asks you what the worst thing you've ever done is: Tell a story about a mistake you made in your past, and loop in back around to show how it matured you and helped you to become a better man today. This does a number of things:
-Shows your comfort level in her (something alot of girls appreciate if she's genuinely asking you)
-Shows that you're a mature man (a socially attuned veteran who can handle himself conversation wise)
-Allows her to build a connection with you, because, if she asked you that question, it allows you to deep dive using her question as a springboard to ask her the same question, or deep dive into something in her life.
Enjoy yourself,
-Richard

The purpose of talking about yourself is to show brief insights of excitement and intrigue. Never reveal all your secrets; always leave room for possibility. In this circumstance, it seems to me that she wants to test you for vulnerability or weakness. If you paint yourself as this perfect man, people know something is peculiar.

In this situation, you actually end up being a weaker man by failing to end on a good note. You leave her frustrated with you because you won't admit to having flaws. She needed confirmation of a realness and vulnerability, and that failed to appear. Instead, you covered up your flaws, and hid them from her. No layers peeled off, you created a standstill in intrigue. If you can't tell her at least a little about you so that she hooks onto your story, her interests will start to decay.

Luckily, vulnerability has been talked about quite often on GC. In order to build intrigue, do not release the entire story right away. Saying the worst thing you've ever done was accidentally hurting someone you loved instead of saying you cheated on your girlfriend, and leave it at that. Give her a little bait, and she'll stay hooked onto the story, and you can slowly reveal facts of the story without actually telling her how it unfolded. Mind you, don't reveal all those facts in one conversation! Just start to do it gradually throughout getting to know her if she probes you about it the following weeks.

Intrigue comes with being unexpected; do NOT reveal anything that seems likely. If you seem like a nice guy, revealing that you hurt someone you loved will provide more intrigue than saying you accidentally killed a deer and felt bad about it. Similarly, if she thinks your a bad boy, saying you accidentally hurt someone you loved will prove bad. It's expected. Revealing that getting away from abusive friends helped you when you act like a bad boy, and they feel like they are uncovering something new and unexpected.

Remember to keep it quick and sweet. Talking about yourself will NOT build her connection with you any closer. You'll feel more connected to her, sure, but her connection is based off of how comfortable she is with you, and how much she talks to herself about you. Talking about yourself is for showing that you are an attractive man by providing vulnerability and intrigue; it does nothing to form a connection whatsoever. Provide insight and intrigue into your exciting life that has existing vulnerabilities, and you'll find things with women will become smoother.
