Heads = Give a positive response                                  Tails = Give a negative response

Negative reactions must include a reason, with a different reason each time. Switch roles whenever you get a positive response.

Continue inviting each other, but with the person making the invitation secretly flipping a coin then trying to get the response below from their partner by making a suitable or unsuitable invitation.

Heads = Try to get a positive response           Tails = Try to get a negative response

The person who receives the invitation should respond naturally. Their partner will then show the coin and get one point if it matches the response that they got.
