I don't know why but it seems 90% of my success with girls is a result of online dating. When I get a girl's number online I can smoothly go from texting to setting up a date and seein her again but whenever I try to text a girl I initially met in person with a cold approach, she loses interest via texting me and it's just frustrating cause I can't tell you how many awesome first interactions I've had where me and the girl were laughing and smiling together and she was touching me but then never even ended seeing eachother again cause her number went stale while I was trying to text her. Is there some discrepancy between texting a girl met in person vs. texting a girl you met online? Cause this is driving me crazy

It could be that your interactions in person aren't going as good as you hope so you are getting flaky behavior. Also if you are texting too much and not escalating (moving things forward) then you are killing your game. The purpose of the phone is not to give out information. It is to set dates. Getting to know someone from a dating site before you meet them is rather common because she needs to assess you better so texting is not an uncommon way to build mutual rapport before meeting. However, when you met in person that is another story. You didn't provide enough information to assess what you could be possibly doing wrong but when women flake it is usually because you talked them out of liking you when you called/texted them or the initial pickup wasn't as good as you thought. On the contrary, sometimes they just forget about you because they are invested elsewhere. You never know what is happening behind the scenes. If this is a common sticking point for you than this is likely not the case. My own method is all about getting the girl to chase you. Why?... because she isn't getting rid of you if she is working to attain you and women are more attracted to men that they have to chase for many reasons but mainly because she is being framed as the "aggressor". This doesn't mean that she will ask you out (though it is very possible and eventually will happen if your game is tight) but at least she isn't getting rid of you. My final tip to you is to screen women out when you meet them to find out what her interests and dislikes are. For example, if she hates movies (I don't know why she would but this is an example), then asking her on a movie date will likely cause a flake when she would rather eat at the new restaurant she's been dating to try. This can all be revealed when qualifying her and building rapport.
