Just recently I started gaming again because i had to stop due to school and everything once summer ended. What i loved most was getting back into game, i felt the same anxiety and fear when i first started. It felt good and as i approached more and more, it went away.
One of the issues Im running into is getting the girls to text back. I know that you are more likely to get a text back if you connect with the girl and stay in set longer as opposed to going in and coming out. My interaction would last somewhere between 3 to 6 minutes opposed to 1-2 minutes when i first started.
Just yesterday i number closed my dream 10 without any anxiety and i felt amazing! I went home, texted all of the numbers and no ONE replied expect for the 10. She was an venezuelan girl with a really deep accent. But still no text back after that. The interaction we had was amazing, i could feel that we had chemistry, she was fun, light hearted and easy to talk to. I made sure to get her number on the high point and she gave it without hesitation. I tried setting up the date before we left and she said maybe. So i just told her that its fine if she doesn't want to. The worst that could happen is we become friends.
My first text is Low Investment.
Something along the lines of "Girl with the confident walk?! - Casanova".
She responds with "hey sup" and then i say "haha feisty. What cool things are you doing tomorrow?" No text back...
I was approaching for the past 2 weeks and got 5 out of 10 number closed for each approach. I try to go for an instant date but many of them seem "busy" or in a rush.

After you get their numbers when do you text them back? An hour later? The next day?

2-3 hours

These are cold approaches. With cold approaches, it's less likely something will come out of them...so it's not that you are necessarily doing anything wrong. Just keep pushing the instadates as much as possible. That's when you'll see the flaking go down because if they enjoy spending that time with you, they'll want to meet up with you again. If they give you a time restraint, after they give you their number, keep flirting with them and try to make them late for whatever it is that they are doing. If they risk being late, that means that they are into you in that moment and you can build off of that.

Just don't let flakey numbers get you down...it's just part of the game.

I'm interested, at any point are you going direct with these girls?
Kind of true but not quite. It's all to do with how much attraction she has for you. It's possible to get a good level of attraction in a very small window of time if you're looking good and have solid confidence. It's also possible to kill attraction before it even gets going if you spend too long and start to bore her because you have no charm or charisma.

Of course you have attraction for her (considering you approached her), but does she have attraction for you also? All that matters is that you get her to the point that she is attracted to you, and you can make your first lead and offer a date. One thing I like to do is use the cliffhanger effect, you get her to the point where she's interested in something that you've not yet revealed, then make the first lead "Actually, you know what, I was right in what I was thinking about you, you are "insert compliment", "offer date"..."

Well done, but be careful of this "she is my dream 10" mindset, especially considering she is the only girl that text you back. There is a difference between telling a girl she is hot and that you desire her from a place of value rather than telling a girl she is hot from a place of neediness.
Try probing her a little. Telling her it's fine if she doesn't want to is incongruent with the fact that you approached her to get her to come on a date with you in the first place. You need to be a man and stay in alignment with your initial frame. You do not want to be friends with her, so that isn't even an option.
"Hey sup" Lmao... did you approach a dude? Only joking. Don't ask her what "cool things" she's doing. It's lame. "Oh so you were interested in a date " would of been a better response. Although there are a million ways you could respond that could work. Understand that texting is simply a way to carry on the attraction and get her to come on a date though.
That is the nature of daygame. Specifically cold approaching. The key is volume, the more hot girls you are meeting and getting to come on dates with you, the more chance you're going to have with closing one of them. If you work on increasing your sexual value as a man and improve on your pick up and seduction skillset. You will get more dates and your approach to close ratio will improve.

The number is not the goal - try to bang them instead.
