So, I've been learning about seduction for a year or two and in the last two months really trying to apply it to my life. I don't loyally follow any school of seduction, I mostly just try to be fun and casual.

During the past two months I've really found a good zone on my approach game. I've got plenty to work on, but as of right now I'm meeting a few girls a week and getting numbers. Quality has been very, very good. I've been approaching more, higher quality women with probably the lowest initial interest than ever before and it's working. Hence, approach game is ok.

But I've hit a ceiling right about here. Perhaps a combination of the above or something else entirely, I have been getting stuck. I'm getting day twos and threes, but no f or even k closes for that matter and I'm getting frustrated.

I've read the side bar on text/phone game and apparently I'm not alone in feeling the attraction just drain away over time. In fact, it seems like it's occurring even faster than ever before. Maybe staying away from texting except to set up dates is the way to go - I'm still on the fence about what works for me.

I've read in the community that it is common for AFC's to hit a ceiling similar to this and try to take this positively, as a sign of growth. But I want to focus on the next step which could be closing or just having better day 2's.

My weaknesses right now:

I do not have my own place nor will I for another 3 weeks to a month. I think this has gotten deeeeeep into my head and shouldn't be as big a deal as it is. I'm hoping that in a month this will be a non-issue, as I will have a dope bachelor pad.

I'm a reformed nice guy. My friend the natural said something that really resonated with me and I see as a huge sticking point, he said, "You really care." Which, after learning more is an obvious case of validation seeking. I want people to like me and care what they think. I've got to stop caring - easier said than done.

My text and phone game feel absolutely abysmal at this point. I'm so turned around on what to do and when, once I get the digits. I'll try to follow the guide. I would call more, but no one ever answers.

I travel a lot. This sucks, but I can't change it right now. Many times I meet a great girl on Saturday and am unable to take her out for a week or more.

So any advice to get out of my rut?
