I can open pretty well, and get people interested in my canned lines, but I soon thereafter find myself at a complete loss for what to say, and since I've been rolling out and leaning back, I just eject, even if the set looks responsive. What in the world do I say to keep my mouth saying so that I don't feel like I have to leave?

After you open you bridge to the next step which is A2 Female to Male attraction by saying this simple line, "So how does everyone know each other?" That way you know who's who and who is single if there is a guy in the set. Then you know who to make your target and not get alone with by ignoring her mostly and negging her while you tell your DHV stories that flip the "attraction switches."

Any questions you don't want to ask in the forum just PM me.

I've been having a similar problem.

The Wild One gave me some great advice the other night. He told me
that once I've started an interaction and I get to that point where I
want to eject (and i feel it is too soon)... to push the interaction an
extra 10% further before ending it.

Just say SOMETHING, even if it doesn't quite make sense at the time.
You can also just pause for a second or two, gather your thoughts and
then say something. Of course, having something planned to say also
helps.

The idea is to just push the limits a little further each time you reach a
roadblock or sticking point with your game.

same problem here... except i don't used canned lines.. i usually just improvise... the thing is it only happens with like 9s and 10s and some times i will run out of things to say and i will feel like giving up and just walk away or something. maybe its my inner game.. but also maybe a little more work on the conversational skills would help also. I think i just have to practice on the field more
