Okay i been trying to learn pua for a while now and i'm getting better at it i had to take months off of pua just to work on my inner game. Since than i have completely changed as a person and can approach any girl with complete confidence and carry on a conversation. One problem though rarely get text backs its so frustrating basically I'm wasting my time with a girl that isn't interested i usually direct game to try to avoid this but it still happens. I'm guessing my problem is building attraction during the conversation or text game or some shit i just want to know how to fix it i'm so tired of getting flaky numbers it's starting to mess up my self confidence witch took me so long to build.

Here's my approach to it. Seem's to be pretty successful. My philosophy, as many people's is, is that it's a number's game. I usually pick up 5+ numbers a week and text all of them. Most of the numbers result in a dud, but every week or every other I seem to catch a winner who gets hooked. I'm sure there's pua's out there who have a much higher success rate but it takes time to get there and I look at every failed attempt as practice to help me reach that goal. you should view it similarly

You're doing it wrong. Make sure she is down to go out with you before you swap numbers.

The phone is only necessary for working out logistics. The rest is way too much effort imo.
