Flakes, they exist. But why ? Why does a girl want to get your number and then she flakes ? Does it make any sense ?

From this point it does: getting you to call her is her f-close. She won. She does not need you anymore to get validation. Well, it's just easier to get validation from the next guy than to get more validation from you, you gave it all to her, nothing is left to give.

Possible ways to prevent flakes: create doubt in her mind whether you are actually going to meet her, at all, again. When she meets you again then and only the can she consider "mission acomplished". So that she cannot be sure that you would actually meet her, therefor she can have the goal to meet you. If she is sure that she can meet you anytime then the thrill of chase is lost for her completely.

Analogy? Prostitutes. Imagine a girl, someone you have a crash on, just imagine that you could fuck her for say $20, anytime you wanted, would you ? I would not. It would be below me. She would be too cheap. I would imagine all sorts of reasons why I don't want that.

Without doubt in her mind whether she can have you or not she is losing interest. Solution: put doubt into her mind that the two of you can meet.

How to put doubt into her mind ? I can only guess. Push pull seems to have this effect. Why? Because then - in her head - you get into the category of "bad-boys" from whom she expects this behaviour.

Any creative ideas on this topic are wellcome.

How to make her think that she has only say 30% of chance of getting you to a date?

Btw this relates to this theory : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1335924/Computer-games-addictive-use-psychological-ploys-tested-lab-rats.html

In the sense that push pull makes you unpredictable.

So, once again, the question: "How to make her think that she has only say 30% of chance of getting you to a date?"

Any further suggestions?
