Relatively new to day game and have had some phenomenal results to awaken me into transforming and taking ownership over my dating life.

I have done a good job at getting numbers from the majority of opens I initiate, but the drop-off rate is alarming. Most have not replied to my introduction message, and the handful that have replied back ended up flaking out.

The interactions all felt very positive, hence the number close, but if I can nitpick I may be staying in each set too fast, going for the close without developing enough banter to raise interest. The women I am approaching are all what I would perceive to be 'very high value' which may have something to do with it as well.

As a format I typically initiate with a compliment/observation, state my intent in a charming way by explaining I couldn't let [damsel] pass by without letting her know, nationality observation/where from's guessing exchange, small talk - what are you up to etc, banter if something comes to light, back and forth for a bit longer, really like something about you, and would like to know you better, drink suggestion/number close.

What is a good ratio to shoot for from number close to date? Thanks for any insights and for the encouragement. It's a jungle out there.
