Hi, im relatively new to the game but i feel like im picking it up better than most. i've had success in the f-close department and am regularly pulling numbers when i go out sarging, whether it be at the bar or anywhere in town. BUT.... Im consistently being flaked on. Now i understand there is always gonna be that flake percentage, but no exaggeration it seems like 70-80% of my #-closes flake on me when im actually trying to initiate a day 2, or any type of meet up. Now im analyzing my game and trying to find where the problem is. For example, i had planned a day two with hb8 tonight, but lo and behold no text responses and didnt answer my phone calls (1 text, and 2 calls- dont think this is demonstrating neediness). i was texting her for a good couple hours last night and thought things were going well, even got to the point where we were calling each other by pet names and trading pics.

Now normally this wouldnt get to me, but this kind of shit is happening way too much. Im at the point now where i do pull a #-close, im gonna set up a time to hang out soon after and make it memorable (write it on her hand, or try to go for the day 2 immediately that night.). My question to you guys is where am i goin wrong? my only guesses could be

1. not dhv'ing enough
2. not enough kino
3. weak phone game
4. competition (other guys beatin me to the punch)

Any input and advice is appreciated. If anybody else has run into a high percentage of flakes, how have you overcome it? Any specific routines/tactics?

Also, thinkin about sending the flakey girl a text saying "let me know when you're serious about hanging out," but am apprehensive about it because i dont want to come across needy or upset. Thoughts?

I think maybe you're being too outcome dependent on a day 2, on your terms, regardless of what she wants.

Honestly, did the 80% flakes really want to see you again? Did you future plan? Build comfort? Make yourself their best option?

In the heat of the moment with pickup a girl is emotional...but a day 2 is a big deal for a lot of girls, especially the insecure ones, which I've learned a lot lately.

Outside of that exciting, initial attraction where she looked her best, you made her look good in front of her friends by number closing her etc, her logical mind comes back into play. Does he like me? Why? Is he just using me for sex? Will my friends think I look desperate if I see him again?

Etc etc.
