I have been going out regularly for at least 6 months now. I have made solid progress since I started, especially when it comes to AA and just talking to people in general. Starting out, I had been in 2 relationships my whole life and had never K-closed anyone at a party/bar/etc. Until now, my strategy is go out, open, stay until a set works out or blows up, regroup at the bar, repeat. Result? Several dozen #-closes (flaking galore), 10 or so K-closes, and 0 F-closes. Nothing spectacular, but that's the point. In the last couple of weeks, I don't feel like I've made much progress at all. I've had one, maybe two, K-closes/makeouts in the last couple of weeks, but didn't get any followups after.

I feel I am at a point where either I cannot critique myself further, that I need to reevaluate my 'strategy' as I am out, or both. What's the best way to break through these frustrating plateaus?
