So I've seen three girls regularly over the past year. This is how I played the "refusing sex" issue:
A couple times in a long while it happens legitimately. Girls get their period and don't want to have sex, they sometimes feel unattractive and self-conscious about themselves, and so on. If they plan on turn down sex for reasons like that, it's okay, because usually they have been good enough to inform me in advance. "Hey, I'd like to see you for a little while, but I'm exhausted from work today. It's cool if you don't want to come by, but it would be great to see you." If they text me something like that, I know that if I see them sex very well may not be on the table. And then it's on me. They gave me fair warning.
A different situation that's also happened occasionally:
Girl texts me sexy pics during the day. "Lookin forward to seeing you tonight!
" Later on, halfway towards sex, she pulls back hard. "I guess I'm just not into it tonight. Let's just hang out and not fool around." Hmm.
There can be reasons for this. Maybe she got banged by someone else recently (I didn't commit to exclusivity with any of these girls.) Maybe she's using sex as a weapon because she wants to get "more serious" (apparently very common.)
I give her a little bit. "Anything you want to talk about?" She shakes her head and tries to change the subject.
At that point I'm up, putting my clothes on, and moving. "I guess I'm not really into this tonight either. It's no problem, but I should probably go for now. If you want to talk, let me know." And then I leave and wait for her to contact me, and if she's calm and wants to "talk it out", I'll let her talk. It's never taken very long for them to get in touch. And I've never been refused sex the next time.
She might even chase you out the door right then, angry. That's fine, let her. But hold your ground...I think it's a frame that needs to be set early. It's bad if you're seeing her multiple times and she's refusing sex, time after time. What kind of message does that send?
There becomes an understanding that if we're getting together where the impression is given that we're getting together as lovers, then that's what's expected and needs to happen, or we'll eventually become not much of anything.

I'm contemplating pretending to not be in the mood too and stop trying to initiate sex just to get her hamster running
Sitting around fronting while continuing to see her, like a little puppy dog, won't cause her much stress. Unfortunately, in my experience it's only action that will make her sit up and take notice. If there's some issue and she needs to talk, let her talk. If she doesn't want to fuck, and doesn't want to talk, then you go. The "freeze out"/soft next is a truly devastatingly effective weapon when deployed correctly. Use it sparingly, don't be a dick, but don't be terrified of it.
