If a girl says to you "You wish" just say something like:

"Better be careful what yous say, I might have a genie in my pocket"

And if she replies back with something like "oh really?"

"Yes, and he's already granted a few wishes"

I doubt your post relates to this ^ in the positive don't screw up a good thing way, but sometimes the best thing to do when a girl gives you a dead end like that, is just give her a time out and if she is invested enough she will realize she said something wrong and try to break the tension, if not, oh well, you can call her tommorow and she will realize you are not needy enough for her to do what ever she wants (although maybe you are), this sort of thing you want to re-frame so she knows SHE is fucking up, rather then you thinking YOU are fucking up and trying to fix it with something witty that falls into her frame

if this was not over text, and you were face to face, just look at her like she is retarded and say, OK?

you want to change the meaning behind the interaction, the meaning should not be you trying to impress some chick and her blowing you off, that is a shit poor frame to be stuck in

I don't see a girl saying "You wish" as a dead end. It could just as much be a shit test, especially when she's with friends.

when I refer to dead end = break in rapport, and yes it can be seen as a shit test, the two are not mutually exclusive, remain congruent with a productive frame is what my original post suggests you do

shit tests are also known as ''congruence tests''

if you start reacting to a girl and letting her set shitty frames and you hop into them, it is counter-productive

maybe I mis-understand the interaction up until now and can't grasp the context to which ''you wish'' was used and the framework had nothing to do with you seeking approval and her busting on you for it, (who knows, you have given very limited info), but generally if you make some sort of advancement statement to move things forward or show interest and you are met with that response, it would be wise not to encourage her to continue that sort of behavior, and some sort of witty funny statement... does just that (encourages her to continue to break rapport when you show interest or advance), better to withdraw your attention to discourage that behavior and re-frame rather then to shower her with attention for bad behavior

when a girl is handing out reaction seeking shit tests, the way you pass... is not reacting

If she's being playful why not encourage it? Of course if her body language says she's not interested then it would be best to just move along.

Here are some good replies to "you wish"

Funny - "How did you know that this is my second highest item on the wish list.....first is having 2 girls like you."

Cocky - "No I wish I had JLO and Katy Perry at the same time.....but you'll have to do for tonight" (This one is too extreme and can't be pulled off by everyone)

HB: "you wish"
You: "Only in your dreams"

For me it would likely go like this:

HB: "You wish"
Me: "hahahahahaha.... ah... thats cute"


Now obviously this depends on the context. Getting that response would either be because you overstepped and either activated her bitch shield or she is very interested and playing with you... her eyes will tell you which of those it is.

Also I 100% agree with pump on being pavlovian in your actions and rewarding actions responses/punished bad ones. The big thing to make sure of though if your going to condition against negative actions using emotional/social withdrawl, is that she is sufficiently invested in you to care about that. If you do that early on it won't do anything, if you do that at a point once she has already slept with you or decided she wants to, then it will condition her properly and she will try to make up for it through actions that you like/reward her for. Pavlovian conditioning is fantastically useful, on this one though I'm assuming the interaction isn't to that stage.
