Tangentially, when negotiating I’ve had pretty good luck with just straight up asking what the other party’s best offer is. Usually I have to iterate a couple rounds of course. Rarely is the first response actually their best offer. Since I really am willing to walk away, it’s worked well for both professional and personal relationships. Obviously the framing and presentation is different between a job interview and a first date, but in the end it’s basically the same principles at work.

But it's gotta be a free choice; someone demanding it of you, as a supposed norm, is being pushy.
