Hi everyone - wasn't going to bother typing this up but actually there's a lesson here in patient texting persistence.

As little as 6 months ago I probably would have missed out on this lay. Most beneficial bits are in green.

TLDR:

  • Match with a brunette innocent looking girl on Feeld (which means she's definitely not innocent)
  • Open with "Hi you look like trouble, what brings you here?" and she responds positively
  • Exchange a few messages before number closing 4/5 messages in
  • I don't meet her for 3 weeks' after the no. close as she gets covid and also goes on holiday to Denmark
  • My style is ping > chit chat > understand her logistics > soft close or ease off > ping again 1 week later
    • E.g. Hiii how you having fun in this amazing weather? / Love the sound of Denmark, enjoy your trip! / Hi how's Denmark? / Oh you're back, tell me all about it over a drink?
  • Date 1 - We meet at a bar halfway as she's 45 mins away. Chit chat date for only 1 hour and 15 mins. I was going to a bar event with friends later.
    • For those of you in NYC or London - the app "Thursday" has bar events where 95% of guys and girls are single. It's meant to be 100% but a few people slip through the net. They're great to get warm number leads from girls who leave near you as they're in different areas of the city and the quality is on the higher side too, think prime hinge / Bumble.
    • The competition is also super low especially in the events that aren't fully central.

  • Date 2 - straight over to mine for cocktails, no LMR whatsoever

  • For more detail on my date convo stack check this and this LR

Difference between persistence and being annoying?

Her returned investment in you. More of a gut feeling built with experience but if a girl replies quickly, is "warm" and responsive. It's worth keeping her under your radar until the time is right. If a girl is "cold", "blunt" but responsive still? I personally don't bother but I know guys here who do.

Closing Thoughts:

Very meh experience. Nothing wrong with the girl but reminds me why I'm not on apps anymore as there's nothing really exciting.

I'm literally at the point where I'm on auto-pilot and follow a set process without thinking with online.

I'll write my last guide for a while on my date process because my date to lay ratio in 2022 is now 79%. 11 lays from 14 dates. This includes me going for ridiculous pulls like a stranger being stranded in a snow storm with me on holiday.

To put that into perspective my best year was in 2018 where I got 12 lays from 25 dates. I'm at the same level by April this year.

For anyone doubting game is real and can really increase your % closing and feeling of control with women. So much control that you might even feel... Boredom.

Make no mistake however, the need to hit on a lot of girls in the early stages to bring them in never changes.

Onwards and Upwards x
