Background: I understand much of the game of attraction, although I'm not perfect it's becoming quite natural to me. I have, in the past year, met plenty of women. Many of which I've attracted. Spare me the basic advice.

3 girls, since I subbed here almost 2 years ago, have swept me off my feet. Every account it has happened the same way. We start to talk, we hit it off and with in the next 24 hours it dies out.

Chick 1: long story short- expressed too much interest, bad DHV, overall acting like I had oneitus

Chick 2: complete bombshell and nice too. I took the different approach and didn't show as much interest while still engaging convo. - I got called out when she said I was cute and I replied with she wasn't that bad. She really was disappointed I wasn't nicer, because "not all women are bitches"

Chick 3 - as soon as the third sentence was said we found out we have a strong mutual friend and hit it off from there. I was being playful she was taking it as just having fun. We spend the entire night together and went skinny dipping with her cousin at a beach an hour away. She was no responsive with any escalation verbally (teasing) nor physical escalation. She kept her distance and left town (she was visiting) 2 days later.

I, never in my right mind, would agree to drive an hour, completely mess up my car, on top of allowing her to drive it... unless I knew I had it in the bag. -

TL; DR I'm having problems maintaining my composure when meeting a really good catch whom I'm near completely attracted to in a mental and physical way. - what do you guys do? Or what do you guys focus on? Besides saying "No" more.
