I agree with most of this. It certainly is a numbers game, there's no point in ploughing, and it's important to make as good an impression as possible within about 5 minutes of interaction.
HOWEVER
1. If you have your logistics sorted out, and you know that she's free, your house / her house is nearby, and she's clearly interested, then why the hell not continue the interaction, (maybe grab a bite or a drink), and fucking CLOSE?
Because thats a "Night game" technique. Its highly unlikely that a girl you meet in the middle of the day is going to go home with you. The probability is so low its not worth doing. That "stranger light" is still blinking in her head afterall and she isn't drunk like she'd be at a bar.
More importantly.. there are other girls to meet and you are wasting time on a "maybe".

2. A number in itself means very little. Think of the number as the bridge to the day 2. If she's on her way to meet her friend or something and you can't close, then it's a really smart idea to talk about a day 2 idea with her first, and hopefully even say a place and a day and a time. Then you're simple exchanging contact details for the purpose of facilitating the thing you've already arranged. If you just get a number in a few minutes and you haven't really reached a commonality or two, and you just say "let's hang out sometime," then more often than not, it's gonna flake.
I'll post more from Paul Janka's book later. He talks about why numbers are so important. There is a very good reason he goes for the number and I'll post it soon.
