I am able to go out on a decent amount of dates, and around maybe half of them turn into multiple dates. I have a pretty set routine of the 1st date that works relatively well, where I take girls to this bar nearby and am able to escalate using the area in the bar to get close etc etc.

Since I have been on a good amount of first dates, I also have become pretty relaxed and not nervous or anything like I was in the beginning.

I worked on being playfully cocky, unreactive, etc and my overall first date game. Went from having no clue what I was doing to going on a lot of successful first dates within a year or so.

However, I struggle to maintain attraction for a longer time frame. Sometimes that means it ends on the 2nd date, and sometimes I see a girl for a few months before it falls apart

I suppose reflecting on it more, it seems like an inner game issue where I can act super confident early on but if it's not 100% real, it eventually will show.

Anyone experienced this or have any insight?
