In a nutshell, I can close more often than not once I get past the opener. Although, I have been struggling getting past the opener lately.

One solution would be to open more, though I am more interested in making each opener more successful.

Some nights I will open once or twice, and the close (sex) either that night or within a week.
Other nights, I will strike out and not get past the opener after a handful of attempts, at which point I go home.

Additional notes: When it comes to the opener, I tend to be aloof and not very elaborate. When It comes to closing I am direct, and move fast. Most of my game is non-verbal once I get past the opener.
