I had originally started out in the game to improve my chances with women after being blown off with my gf. I studied and practiced game and perfected my approach, mid game etc. My Problem i have seen is I am unable to convert numbers into dates. What are some ways I can improve that.

well, what exactly do you do, you are not being very specific, how would you normally go about getting a number?

I normally try to build some rapport with them and then try to get their number. After which i unfortunately text them too much. Or I wont text them and call them out of the blue. After reading many books this is one of the areas I have not been able to conquer. Also I have this constant voice in my head telling me I have X no. of to bang in a year or something and this neediness just affects my game how can I overcome that?

ok, so you build up rapport, does the girl know your intentions, how exactly is the interaction framed?

so you text them too much when the rapport is already there, and you are heavily dependant on outcome, you are also aware that you are feeling needy

you can start by trying new things that might be enjoyable for you, find new hobbies and interests that you enjoy, specifically where you can relate to other people, keep yourself occupied, if texting/phoning with girls don't be trying to ''game'' them over the phone, don't try to win them over, don't try to do anything for a certain reaction, just be yourself and keep the texting down to a minimum, if you don't have any rapport in place then texting/calling will be needed to bridge the gap, but you should try making your intentions to meet up clear before you leave the set, and do so after you believe you have a good connection set up, once that rapport is there and she seems keen on a meetup, the number just comes as a result, just text her to fluff for a bit, once you know the phone is in her hand give her a call and set up the logistics to confirm the date

treat the phone as a tool for bridging logistics just like you would with a guy friend, is it normal behavior for you to text/call your guy friends and have hour long conversations about nothing with absolutely no goal or aim in mind?, if it is then it's fine that you do that with girls, if not, then what you are doing is incongruent and needy, just be yourself, don't act differently, it is incongruent, once interest is there just be confident in yourself, you don't have to do or say anything to keep pumping up attraction or anything like that, just relax, if she screened well and made a good connection with you to the point where you know you made a good impression, then that impression will remain, it is not going to change just because you don't constantly text her every day for 1 week (not saying you do this)

if you have set up the logistics before close and are not ''over gaming'' over the phone, but you are consistantly running into flakes, then your issues are most likely do to how hard you screen her, and how much of a connection you make before presenting the logistics

Good stuff pumpington!. I seem to run into this problem a lot. Im pretty good at goin out & bein able to walk out with a number, but then fumble on the follow up.. I think my problem is not havin them in front of me & bein able to read em(body language ect.) that makes me unsure of what to say & doubting myself.. I think Is right on the money with tryin to overgame them.. Sometimes i feel like i need to say a certain thing to make em want to hang out with me & i get stuck..

No Connection - this is the primary reason why my friends who started off with me could convert only 5% of the numbers they received v/s I who had probably 80%.

Create a connection with them. Plant the seed of why you would call them and where would you go on the date/hang out. This is the simplest way of getting dates.

Answer:

Numbers aren't important. What you should focus on is setting up a future date. Use a line like,

"You seem cool and I'd like to get to know you better. Let's get coffee/beer on Tuesday. Does 7 work for you?"

Most of the time women will say yes, if not then try be playful about it, build more comfort, and then ask again.

Once you set up the date then get her #
