By “making bids” I mean doing something which invites a response from the other person, where a positive response would bring you closer together.
I would add a caveat, a positive response the bidder perceives to be genuine and sincere, otherwise it’s quite possible for the bidder to evaluate a genuine and sincere negative response to be higher then an uncertain positive response.
