Been actively using tinder the last few months. I've successfully got numbers. Most led to dates, some led to flakes. I didn't escalate the first few dates. A hard slap in the face woke me up.

The next few dates led to a few minutes of kissing in the park. Couldn't take her home, but we agreed on a second date at a popular event. She went ghost though.

The most successful one was having a hot makeout session at the park. Seriously would've fucked right then and there. We texted a bit, but she's busy. I think my shit text game could have ruined it.

Anyways, this is still a huge improvement from before. All these girls were HB6-8. Now that I've had a taste, I need to figure out where I'm going wrong.

Is there a set of pitfalls, or things to avoid during tinder dates? Am I talking too much? Not enough? Too intellectual? Too energetic? What's the bug, and how can I improve?

On text game, how can I not fuck up? I want to develop a standard policy on how to text. I've read to text for logistics only. Does this mean not texting after a date. Does this mean let her text first?

On tinder matches, how can I improve the conversion rate (tinder match to number)? Why are women matching with me, then not respond? Of maybe 100 matches I am interested in, 5-10 will give their number. These odds suck tbh. Clearly, my tinder text game needs improvement. Should I be more sexual? Should I be curious and friendly? Do I immedietly tease? My pictures show me at the beach, park, in a suit, with friends. I'm also black, but not projecting a thug look. Do these types of girls see that, and think I'm a safe guy to experiment with? Is this the point where I'm reading too much into it?

Obviously, you need to have a personality. But, I'm sure there are general tips people can provide. I just want to develop an efficient and effective system so that it doesn't consume too much thought and time. Thank-you guys.
