Hi guys! I've got a problem with flaking and hopefully there is someone with similar experience who overcame this problem.

I got over my approach anxiety and can approach in different scenarios during daygame and nightgame (not socially shameless yet but made a huge progress). The my conversation skills after the opener need improvements and I'm being active on that, but they're not lame. I've got like 15 phone numbers from direct daygame (I know it's not crazy, but I got other shit to do as well). Some of them are from quick interactions because the situation required it. Others are from longer encounters - so something more than just brief "I think I'm cute, we should exchange phone numbers". I can tell the numbers are real by checking their Whatsapp profiles.

So my problem is getting girls to go on a date. They will either reply but then flake when I want to meet up or not reply at all. I know the best option would be instant date, but they're not walking around the city waiting for men to take them on instant dates - they're usually in the middle of doing something. My texts are short, without many emojis, sometimes not at all. I usually get back to them referring to something from the approach and then try to set up a date.

My interactions after approach will usually last 4-10 minutes.

I know there are different things that could be improved like having longer conversations, trying to go for instant dates etc. but I'm just surprised that I couldn't get a single girl on a date after getting a number. I approach a girl in the middle of the street or somewhere, go directly with my intent, chat with her and do some light kino, watch her in the eyes - I mean, I no longer feel like it's a big deal but it's still quite ballsy comparing to the fact that most men can't even do it while drunk in the bar. But dem hoes will still flake...

Any advice from people who faced the same problem and overcame it?

I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.
