In day-game, I’m making good progress in taking action - actually approaching - though still get AA and don’t do nearly enough. getting consistently positive reactions on the approach (this is probably my biggest strength right now). Generating friendly conversation and getting a number-close a decent percentage.

My sticking point right now is that a high percentage of my number-closes just never respond to my initial text or don’t respond when I ask them out.

My guess is that I’m not doing a good enough job generating sexual interest or making a deeper connection to get them to reply and/or come out on dates. Maybe I’m having a friendly and pleasant enough conversation to hold their interest for 10 minutes so they give me their number out of politeness.

My question is whether seasoned gamers experience this too? And if not, how do I improve the response rate?
