Keep the tension alive is iceberg wording for not letting the set become a roommate interview. Related: sexual tension, the pause, teasing, sexualization. Rapport is a beat, not the whole night.[1][2]
Method
- After a serious stretch, a tease or a pause.
- Lead before the spark dies in the group.
- If it has gone platonic, you probably sexualized too late. See the friend zone.
Failure mode
Tension as cruelty. Or zero tension because you were afraid of a no.
