I've had many times where I've gotten a girl's number and she's really attracted to me and really excited to see me.

Then, one of two things happens:

  1. I text with her too much and look too eager/needy
  2. I don't text with her enough and she feels like I'm not interested anymore

How can I strike a balance in the middle and keep her interested and excited to meet me?

How can I text her to keep her excited for our date without seeming needy, clingy, or overbearing?

With the girls I have seen, after one date i don't usually have any issues. I flirt and physically escalate enough on the date that they almost always want to see me again. So this point, between the number and the first date, is really my fuck up spot.
