Please response only if you've read Mode One.

I've been applying this mindset to my life lately, and it really seems to be helping alot.

I'm encountering situations though that Alan never mentions in his book or posts.

He always talks about how women will get angry or have a negative response.

He never talks about the other common responses to Mode One behavior.

They aren't rejecting you, but they try to regain power by stalling the seduction.

Lines I've been getting often, "I'm busy this weekend" and "I don't give out my number".

These aren't rejections but they bring the seduction to a halt. I'm not sure how to hurdle these without lowering myself to Mode 2.

I just told these women that when they were ready to change their mind, they knew where to contact me, but I feel like I could deal with this better. Any ideas?

im busy this weekend is either a flake (lightly letting you down) or the truth and her interest level should be tested, you may need to project more value or offer a lower investment meetup for her to allow the seduction to proceed, but plan your logistics carefully so you can have success in seducing her as soon as possible,

for sorry I don't give out my number, there are lots of ways to deal with this, one don't ask for number, time bridge, if you don't like time bridging, reframe the subtext of the statement, say something like, well I don't want your number I want you, lets go out right now, etc. etc. and build more attraction until she submitts or if she is not interested she is not interested, there is only one way to find out, and that is escalate the situation, sometimes there is attraction but it is not enough for her to be sure of wanted to sleep with you, in that case it must be built

Thank you Pumpington, I've read many of your posts in the past lurking on this forum; they really have helped me on my journey to get good at this.

I'll try to apply your advice.
