The rules ?
I hate to break it to you, but there's no "true" way of proceeding with the pick-up from meeting to seduction to keeping the girl.
No-matter how well thought up and analytic the approach to this subject is, there seems to be no way of predicting that some line will work 100% with any girl.
The concepts and the basic ideas may work most of the time... Remark; Most of the time.
Not All of the time.
Doing MM by the book will give you a steady way which will work with most girls.
Most of what it'll teach you is to calibrate to the specific girl, since you'll, most likely, either unconsciously or consciously, pick up minute signals that allows you to in a way "feel" what will work and what won't.
Sensory Acuity is the name of the game.
The basic idea is to prove that you have high value, (which she'll automatically be looking for) and that you are comfortable and strong as a person. Basic Alpha Male Traits.
In addition to having something "extra", which may make you more fun to be around than the other alternatives she has (and will have if she's a 10, believe me).
By negging you demonstrate that her beauty doesn't throw you off, and that you aren't afraid to lose her, as well as pulling her self-esteem a little down (since most 10s will have undeservedly high self-esteem due to, literally, hundreds of guys telling her "wow... you are so beautiful", when you come along and say something that demonstrates that you're not spellbound by her physical appearance, as well as making her question whatever you negged, but of course, part of the idea is to move on before she can question the neg, so it'll be nagging her the rest of the conversation.)
This is an Alpha trait (not awarding her for genetic accidents such as physical beauty.)
But rather awarding her for things she do.
You can credit her for her work, though.
That one is legit.
If you get Oneitis over her, you'll probably end up giving her too much attention, which may come across as needy.
Look into stuff at the Natural section and stuff regarding belief.
That may help you get the right beliefs, and Frames you need for attracting.
Maybe try a bit more direct game,

if you have the confidence.
Next time you talk to her, invite her out to talk over coffee or something instead of over the phone.
(e.g. "Hey, Let's take this conversation over coffee instead, It's getting a bit cramped here. Why don't you meet me at X, I'll be there at xx:xxpm, and we'll talk face to face instead. That way I'll feel I'm talking to a real person. OK, Bye."

)
Remind yourself that she's just another person.
Be curious and get her talking about the things that interest her.
Elicit her values,

Like her charitable side, etc.
hope it helps

Cheers.
