My friends and I are all experiencing the same problems in/off the field. We number close.... and then nothing worthwhile comes of it.

For example, in last 3 weeks I have gotten 9 numbers. I called/texted 7 of those girls but only got 1 day two from the 7 I contacted! That's horrible! What can I do to get a higher conversion ratio of the numbers I close?

What is particularly surprising to me is that even when I spend 30 minutes talking/laughing/chatting up the girl whose number I eventually get, she still doesn't return/answer my call/text. I.e., I can understand why a drunk girl whose number I got just 4 min into a conversation wouldn't remember me well enough a couple days later to return my call, but a girl who seemed really into me and invested time into me (30 min) who doesn't return the call is surprising.

I could really use some expert opinions/advice on (a) what is going through these girls' heads when they arent returning the call of someone who they spent time to get to know, and (b) how can I get a higher conversion ratio!

Thanks in advance!

So in an interesting turn of events, 2 more of the 7 girls contacted me back and set up day 2s. One emphatically apologized (the one i spent 30 min talking to) for getting back to me late. So, in a way things worked out well but I still let the question stand. How can we get a 90% return rate? is it possible?

First, if you ended up with 3 out of 7, that's not bad.

Second, the best way to up the rate is to be pickier about who you number close with. Remember that just because she seemed to have a good time, doesn't mean she is going to want to see you--if you spend too much time being that charming, witty, entertaining guy, she might not know where to go with it. The hook is when she thinks she has to pursue you.

Third, talk less, listen more--and find ways to build rapport by mirroring her perceptual style and trying to understand her emotional state.

Fourth, don't bother with drunk girls, no matter how hot they are, unless you want to close the same night.
