I am actually quite new to picking up girls.
I progressed nearer and nearer to picking up girls.
For each week coming closer and closer.
First I tried to talk to a girl at each weekend and then I always got an answer that she has a boyfriend.
Then I tried a different approach I tried to see if a girl was walking by herself on the street at saturday night when there are a lot of drunk people everywhere.
So I saw a girl and approached her and asked where I could the fastest route to some place and got a detailed answer.
Afterwards I said thanks and introduced myself and said that I am maybe a little direct but if it is comfortable for her we could swap numbers.
She hesitated and I barely touched her shoulders and said I have good references from my mother and father and so on.
Then she changed her my mind and she hold up her phone so I could give her my number.
After I gave her my number she called me so I could receive her number.
And then I left there in the opposite direction from where she pointed me to go.

Later on monday I tried to call her but she didn't pick up the phone.
I also made a long message at night since it was too late to call her where I tried to explain that we didn't talk that much and would like to take a cup of coffee with her.
I explained that I reached to that place eventually with this on: .
That she was free to give me a call and she could even visit my front door with this on: .

I cannot really say that you played it right, PUA-style. Read a lot of posts here on the forum and you'll eventually find out a better way to get a phone number.

try harder just to get comftable with the technics...its a matter of time
read more and try to use common use PUA technics for a first try and then apply your own style
thats the key to success

Well AG first I'll say thats awesome that you are starting to get out and try picking up women, keep it up you'll get better and better with each approach.

Here are some tips that will help you out

1. Stay away from saying things like "I am maybe a little direct" and "if it is comfortable for her we could swap numbers" just ask no need to tip toe around the situation, it comes off more confident when you just ask.

2. If you are gonna use a "give me directions" opener, you should at least go in the direction she pointed you in, looks like less of a staged pickup

3. Your phone game... After you left her a message on her voicemail, I wouldn't have sent her a txt message or called her back for 2-3 days.
I NEVER bring up a date/meeting/hangout on a voicemail or especially tell her she can come and visit me at my front porch.

Here is a fun thing i learned regarding leaving voice mail. Say "Hey it's <name>, omg you won't believe what happened, then hang up. Be sure to have a good story when she calls back. If you need help with that I got tones of stories

or

Hey it's <name> I didn't know that you, then hangup on yourself as if you got cut off.

She'll usually be so intrigued that she will call you back

Yea, sounds like she staled out on you. Like everyone said, looks like you didn't have enough DHV before you got her number. Also by sending that long ass text explaining your situation and whatever else you put on there shows that your a little desperate. When texting, keep it short but detailed. It's a little complicated and I just started using the text method instead of calling her, this way it keeps it neutral where she can just send a text back at anytime. There was a good post about texting on here, try to do a search on it. It was a really good post, forgot who posted it though.

Everything Meckamorphasis, plus...

- Read up on phone game. Eg, let the phone ring until it rings out. Don't puss out and send texts, make sure she hears your voice, because then you become part of her life, etc.

- If you are trying to pick up a girl walking by herself on a street full of drunk guys, you are going to get red flagged - ESPECIALLY if you start touching her, expect to hear "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME". Find a group of 2-3 girls, or a mixed-set (guys and girls). Just make sure you dominate the set.

- The "show up at my doorstep" thing is a mega AFC thing. Don't do that.

If she doesn't answer her phone, try again - don't message her.

Yeah, I don't know what else to say. Read more, then try again. Find a wing or a PUA in your city who can tell you where you're going wrong as you do it.
