hi guys,it"s been a while,reasons are flakes,constant flakes,i go in,everything is good,when it"s the time to meet up,i get a flake,thing is i don"t even know why,i tend to think that i did something wrong,but nothing comes up,maybe i didn't make her feel comfortable enough,but she looked totally comfortable,relaxed and having a good time,they usually look eager or at least "ok" for meet up,but then they just cool down,any ideas,i ran out of my own,only thing i do know is that on few cases,2 or,i didn't share almost nothing on myself and for that i understand a flake,but for the rest of it.....
few common reasons for flakes
1) she liked that you liked her, but she wasn't attracted to you, so she gave you her # as an ego boost but has no interest in actually meeting etc.
2) she feels you were disingenuous or untrustworthy for what ever reason and is too uncomfortable to meet or continue with you (i.e. you're just looking for a chuck and fuck, or were acting weird/off or just gets a feeling like she doesn't know you and can't trust you)
3) she just is flaking for legitimate reasons and being honest
4) something arbitrary, like she has a boyfriend, or met some other guy, or has family obligations or something random outside of your control that has nothing to do with you has lead her to not want to continue
Think of flaking/non response/wrong number as a soft rejection, it's what happens when a girl doesn't want to reject you to your face because she appreciates your effort, so they give you their number as a thank you or a consolation prize for trying to meet her and get to know her
Here are some solutions that can help you mitigate this
1) If attraction is the problem, address your appearance, how can you improve your presentation, be honest with yourself about what your weak points are, set small goals to improve in the long term, write them down and what you want to achieve and also write down what you want to avoid as a worse case and create a timeline in which you want to achieve that goal (example, want to lose gain xyz amount of lbs by xyz date, want to avoid becoming heavier/lighter, will commit to 3x gym a week), take into account how you are dressing, how you are grooming yourself, your hygiene, how your posture is, if you could use a teeth whitening
Every little small improvement you can make, adds up, after you consider your appearance and if you could make some adjustments, consider how socially dominant your presentation is, are you relaxed?, speaking clearly?, looking the person you are talking to in the eye?, are you fidgeting around and spaztically moving/talking? are you talking fast? are you genuinely acting how you are thinking and feeling or are you putting on an ''act''? are you avoiding saying/expressing what you are actually thinking in an honest way? are you being mature? are you allowing her room to talk?
2) DOES SHE KNOW WHY YOU ARE TALKING TO HER FOR REAL? (if you leave does she even know why you wanted the number?, is there even a reason?, when you leave does she know what your actual intentions are, or were they hidden under the guise of some sort of platonic meetup or random ambiguous grab for her phone number?
3) if you want to give her a few tries because she was extra cute, have you invited her out up to 3x and spaced out when to ask her so it doesn't seem desperate?
4) 4th and finally,
the mitigation, when you ask girls out, try to figure out things about them that you would like, see if it's a girl that you would actually be happy with (like happy hanging out with, not just happy putting your dick inside), find out if their interests are similar to your interests, find out what they like, when you invite them out, invite them out to do something you think they would like or simply cut the shit and use an overly boring invite with an obviously sexual undertone to quickly weed out if she is definitely interested or just a wishy washy maybe/no
learn to screen before asking a girl out or asking for a number, try to look up on the forum posts related to
AI, learning to read approach invites is a good start for learning to read a girls body language for when she is somewhat nervous, you can start to differentiate between a girl who is nervous in a positive way vs a girl who is nervous in an uncomfortable way, start trying to get rejected and looking for social cues, see if she is trying to actively contribute to a conversation with you or at least not trying to get away, see if she is happy and positive to speak with you or negative and dismissive, see what happens when you change the frame from platonic to romantic (just ask if she is single if you don't know how to do this), see if she is logistically available for a date, the sooner the better, you can even try to move her to one right then and there and see if she makes excuses or shows interest
don't spend lots of time trying to talk with girls that are not interested, instead spend your time talking to MORE girls in order to find girls that ARE interested (this should be obvious when you can tell the difference between interest/disinterest/polite indifference) learn how to figure out what all this looks like
REALLY GET TO THE BOTTOM of what is possible as fast as you can, figure out if she is available, when she is available, where is the best place to make it happen, if she is looking like she is only so-so interested or being polite, you can simply grab her number for a date that you know she will flake on, add her to a collective dead number pile and leave from talking to her to try another approach on a different girl, use her for a fun texting buddy or something if you are bored and if you throw a party, you can send the whole dead pile a mass invite and ask them to only bring other girls if they want to come because you already have a bunch of guys coming (theme parties help make it more interesting), this can give you a bigger edge over those girls and their friends who decide to come status wise (you jump up a bunch of points in importance if they are attending you party and it is good)
you can also try to qualify a girl directly on if she is truly interested in the date, ''do you really want to go out with me to XYZ place or are you just too shy to say no?, you won't hurt my feelings I still like you anyways'' or some variant (don't get too needy with this, if you do this, you want to seem like you are comforting her and being considerate of her feelings, not assuming she won't go and being butthurt or neurotically paranoid that you are not good enough)
anyways, all this shit should help you if you apply it properly, assuming no autism here just APPROACH APPROACH APPROACH and eventually it should become just instinctive to be able to tell with how she smiles or doesn't, how she reacts, how she deals with you trying to move forward as to if it is going well, or not going well, if she is cooperating and trying to work with you to make it happen, then it will likely happen, if she is resisting and doing what she can to cut things off and make it not happen, the number is as good as garbage typically
