Up until 6 months ago I was a 24-year old kissless virgin who had never had any romantic interactions with a girl. Never asked a girl out, never even held a girl's hand. I moved to a new city and resolved to revolutionize my social life. Got a crush on a girl but didn't know what to do, so I finally turned to the internet and found /r/seduction.

Ever since I began implementing the material on here I've had mixed success. Done maybe 75+ cold approaches. Kissed probably 2 dozen girls. Slept with 2 (although one was mostly due to circumstantial luck), got close with 2 others but stopped by LMR.

About a month ago I decided to double down on my efforts. I've had no problem getting first dates with girls I'm highly attracted to - but that's where my success ends. Girls who seemed very attracted and into my in our initial encounters suddenly either ghost me or text me afterwards saying they don't want to take it any further. I try to employ all the fundamentals talked about here. I go for drinks and try to move venues once or twice, I try to get them to talk about themselves and really listen to them, and I employ plenty of kino. I am at a loss as to what the issue is. Unfortunately in college I was a bit of a hermit and didn't really have any close relationships with girls, so I feel like maybe there's something I'm missing. I don't really understand why the stuff that works in my approaches/sets (being really interested in what they're saying, light kino, teasing/flirting) doesn't work on dates.
