I'll try to keep this as short as possible, but it requires a bit of history for the full context.

So I swallowed the pill last Spring and have been adjusting/killing my old blue pill self. First steps were to refocus on my mission, get off the dating apps, and start learning cold approach (I was already lifting and in pretty good shape at this point--TY keto and Tim Ferris 4 Hour Body). By August, I had my first pull, and since that time I've had a pretty good run--smashed with 8 girls since then.

As I've continued to cold approach, I'm going for hotter girls and this is where the problem comes. Met two girls (both HB 8) at the end of October and have made out extensively with both--I've gone on two dates with each, but as you can see, it's been strung out over the period of a month. Part of that's scheduling, but the other part is my game. I've followed the advice of TRP generally: I don't text with these girls much at all, only to set up hanging out, and if they don't reply, I don't text until I hear back from them. That being said, I pulled two beta moves, one with each. With one, we'll call her Heather, I noted our chemistry as we were making out, a total bitch move I'm not proud of. The other, Liz, I had in my house, but I got nervous and didn't escalate like I needed to, so I probably fucked up getting laid (the old me would just think she didn't want to fuck, but red-pilled me knows that if a girl comes home with you, you should take her to pound town)...

Anyway, do you guys have advice on how to get these girls to chase harder or how I can plate them? Or is this just a case of things taking longer? It feels like with some women it's just a longer game and takes more time--if that's the case, how long do you pursue before a next? Keep in mind, they're definitely both interested.
