So after 2 weeks of putting what I know to the test:

8 number closes
2 kiss closes
1 F-close <-- the girl approached me, 45 min. later we were in the bathroom.

Here's where I need help. I can keep things going fairly well when it's in the moment. However, after I get the numbers, I tend to freeze up and don't know what to do. 3 of the 8 number closes have been no call backs or text backs, waiting to hear from you guys about the other 5.

Well it's great to see you're doing so well after just 2 weeks. You should be full of confidence right now. Some guys spend 2 YEARS reading ebook after ebook and never actually get out there and get those kind of results, good job!

I honestly don't even think of a number close as a real "close" anymore. It's not really a close in and of itself, but just a way to organise a day2 and a further escalation of the interaction. You should only eject after the n-close when there's some logistical problem that means that one of you really has to go soon and/or there's no way to get at least a k-close in there for whatever reason. Remember to ALWAYS hang around for at least 5 minutes after you get a n-close so it doesn't seem like some big deal that u got her number.

As for flakes, it happens to everyone. I generally say don't wait like 3 or 4 days. Keeping the momentum going is very important during those first 7 hours or so, so I try to: 1. text or leave a voicemail right away so she has your number and it's something fun so she remembers it, 2. maybe text some joke or something on the way home, 3. actually CALL the next day or day after and false time constraint, then talk for a few minutes and keep the same c+f energy you had from the previous night, and arrange a day two.

I'm sure there are guys with a whole bunch of crazy complex text and phone game out there, but for me basically your texts should be short, value giving and funny, and serve to keep momentum when you're out of contact ("omg I totally just met your exact double!" or some joke about something she said the night before). Something that is throwing a sentence or two out there, not even expecting or wanting any kind of response. Arranging a day 2, you don't want to pussy out and arrange via text - actually CALL and talk to her. Again, calls should be value giving in the same way as an approach - you want to brighten her day and be the fun guy she wants to keep talking to. Time constraint and then end the call on your terms ("oh I got a call on the other line, I'll ttyl"), leaving her wanting more.

sometimes you have to remember.... just cause they gave u their number doesnt mean they liek you ...:S its weird but too true, honestly ... for me.. lets say i get 10 numbers.... 6 of those are real .... out of 6 i may still only keep in contact with 1 or 2 ......i usualy number close before we're about to part ....like getting of the subway train / bus, that way theres not awkwardness, cuz weve left the scene

Blondguy: Thanks, really helps. I can already tell I'm not the same guy as I was 2 weeks ago.

Desert: yah, I realize call backs don't have a good success rate, just be helpful what to say when I do call/text back. Thanks man.

Yeah, that's me. How the fuck do people get good with women so fast? Do you just force yourself on them or what? I don't fucking get it.

Well when it came to the F-close, it was a total Fools Mate. I opened up this 3 set and was hitting on this HB9 with her "boyfriend" next to her (my wing said he'd give me $50 if I could pull it off). Then all of the sudden this other girl taps me on the shoulder and starts talking to me. She probably just saw that I was a normal guy, who had friends at the party (which I did considering it was my fraternity bros house) and was attracted to it.

i love when random shit like that happens... nice man !!

Aw shit, you were at a frat party? Even I could do that. Try pulling a chick in one of your classes into the public bathroom in the middle of the day and banging her. Then I'll be impressed with your skills

There is no way to cheat on your progression.

Key is to keep going out and learn from moments where it goes wrong.
