I want you to try something: when you go out today or tonight, see how far you can push the interaction. See if you can land the instant date or get her back to your place. But whatever you do, don't go for the number.

Don't go for the number? Am I crazy? No. What I realized was getting the number is becoming a crutch. Instead of pushing the interaction in the daytime to an instant date or in the night time to an after party, I would satisfy myself with collecting numbers, pegging a number as a win.

Here's the deal: when you are in an interaction and you promised yourself that the you will not get the number you will naturally try harder to push the interaction to see how far you can go with the resources you have.

This develops good habits and fosters positive growth. Especially at night time when the woman is horny and most likely dtf. Forget about the number, go all out to get her back to your place or in the daytime land the instadate.

The psychology behind this is outlined in The 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene, author of the bestseller The 48 Laws of Power. What he describes is when Cortez wanted to conquer Mexico, he knew he was outgunned. His army was tired and wanted to go home. So what did he do? He burned his ships. This made it so there was no escape outlet and the only way for his army to go home was by conquering Mexico. With no ships to go home with, the army fought with more vigor than ever, and eventually conquered Mexico.

The phone number is your ship home. And the girl is Mexico. Forget about the number, and go all out getting the girl.

Edit: replaced word "drunk" with "horny". Point still gotten across.
