Hi all,

Overall, I think I'm pretty good at opening women and holding conversation, but have some questions about dealing with certain situations at various points of the night. Would love your advice.

  1. Very often, I'll meet someone early in the night (say 9-10pm), and hit it off. The problem is that because it's so early, I don't want to have to maintain my energy all night with them, or feel like I'm "following them around." Is it better to just get a number and leave after 30min or so?

  2. Fairly often, I'll be talking to some women, and then disappear to use the bathroom, get a drink, etc. In most bars men then immediately pounce on them, and I often find it hard to re-engage. Tips for this?

  3. Not quite a logistics problem, but a general mental problem: I find most of the people with good game obnoxious. What seems to actually work comes off as too cocky, fake, and cheesy to me. I'm not describing just the creepy ultra PUA types, but also the "cool" types that just seem to have limitless energy. It's truly not a feeling of jealousy, but more a feeling of "I can't stand that guy". How do I get over this? I realize I have to find my own style, but it's tough for me.
