Bit of background, I'm 25, 6'4'', lifting for 5 years now (1RMs B140/S180/DL220), recently took up Muay Thai as well. STEM student and work for my families business as well as doing some bar work too. I'm told I'm funny and handsome/good looking/gorgeous.

Getting dates through Tinder/Bumble couldn't be easier. My text game is even on point, I think I've struck a good balance between just logistics and being cocky funny and I'll have girls constantly texting, then texting again if I just don't reply and I've yet to be stood up on dates.

However, I'm really struggling to get second dates. The last five dates I went on have gone absolutely no where. Most of the time no contact afterwards unless prompted.

I went on one a few nights ago, seemed to go well, she laughed at my cocky jokes and even commented on how good a conversationalist I was and how I came across as very confident. I did my best to Kino but as I said in another post I really struggle with this and I didn't kiss her as a result. Got a text from her the next morning which prompted a bit of back and forth but when I mentioned a second date the subject was quickly changed and I just left it right there.

Last summer after I cut and got a tan my confidence went through the roof and the first couple of real dates I went on I managed to escalate well and kiss them or on one actually get her in bed but every one since has been a flop and with every failed date my confidence drops and I feel this directly affects my ability to close.

Sorry for the wall of text. Maybe I'm just wanting to get this out or rant but any help would be appreciated.
