Watch who steps up. 3. “That doesn’t work for me.” No explanation required. 4. “I’ll pass.” Short sentences make big statements. 5. “I’m not available last minute.” He either adjusts or disappears. 6. “That feels low effort.” Delivered softly. Eye contact steady. 7. “I like consistency.” And then you wait. 8. “That’s not really my standard.” No attitude. Just information. 9. “I don’t do casual.” Then you move accordingly. 10. “You can take your time.” And you emotionally detach while he does. 11. “I need more than that.” If he asks “more what?” — he’s not ready. 12. “That’s okay.” When he underdelivers. And you reduce access. 13. “We might want different things.” No debate. Just alignment. 14. “I’m not in a rush.” Scarcity hates patience. 15. “I don’t chase.” Said playfully. Meant seriously. 16. “I’ll let you lead.” Then observe if he can. 17. “That’s not really impressive.” Delivered with softness, not sarcasm. 18. “I’m good.” When he offers crumbs. 19. “Let me know when you’re serious.” Then you go quiet. 20. Silence. The most powerful response to low effort is absence.
