Going ok thus far. Narrowing my focus and getting more picky has actually massively helped my game.
I'm still gaming the same quantity of chicks as before but the quality (lookwise atleast) has SHOT UP.
I've arranged 4 dates for Friday 8pm. Virtually flakeproof. 25, 25, 21 and 21. All HB8s. All tinder.
I've noticed the typical 3 or 4 fluff messages followed by a request for drinks doesn't really work with younger girls. They probably see it as desperate and time is on their side - unlike the older gals. You actually have to chat, which I don't mind. It's not a major issue when you've got multiple conversations on the go. I normally talk about a number and ask for the date after a few days (even a week or more) of text exchange. Seems to be working. Probably something to do with the pyschology of sunk costs - if they've been chatting to you for a week it's a cost for them too.
