Thank you bro for this, practical advice.This would work if "thirsty" wasn't a manosphere term. In this context, "you're reading my mind. Let's go get a drink" would work but the statement "I'm thirsty" from a girl doesn't lend itself to much. You need something that can be construed as sexual, and kick it playfully up a notch or two, but not ten. If you do take it out of proportion, you need *plausible deniability* to save you @ss.
In your OP, your response to "balls" only works if you've been talking about sports earlier in the convo, then you can say you meant your soccer balls or whatever. You can also do this playfully to make the girl look paranoid or sex-obsessed by accusing her of having "made assumptions". But again, you need plausible deniability.
how’d you navigate the 2nd approach, a girl who you’ve approached before and she ghosted, then you open her friend without knowing they’re and she jumps in the conversation? She didn’t grab her friends to go away actually, she stood there but i gave out a sound signal if you may say that indicated oh f*ck not this b*tch again, hence the group turned off and left. How’d you approach such a situation? Would you just automatically next or test the waters? Me personally any girl who rejects me, it’d take the whole world and mountains to move to reconsider here if she gives me IOIs after rejection i.e. i never will accept. Do you feel this is a stupid belief to embody?
