By the way,Yes, Im currently based in Warsaw !
Maybe one day we could even meet for a drink.
As for what you said about the direct game, I do completely agree with you. I thought by "direct game" you meant a different, more sexual and straight-to-the-point thing.
"Letting her know your intentions, either implicitly or explicitly" works really well, true, even if they're all catholic haha
And yeah the degree of directness might vary, depending on the girl/context.
With regards to Tinder, I don't know how efficient it might be for the 30-45 cohort, but for the 19-27 it has been working wonders (in terms of getting 1st dates) for me and other local friends.
In case it was ever of any utility to you, my tested line is as follows:
+Compliment smth special about the girl's profile (maybe she has a cute cat, a unique style, she shows she's smart, she speaks several languages, etc).
So: Oh, you speak Spanish, that's +5 points! Haha
Right after that:
How do you survive the weather here? Let's run away together !*her name*
She: Where to? Hahah (90% of the times they'll reply 'where')
You: To some tropical warm beach, surrounded by mojitos and coconuts ! Haha
You: Obviously !
(The latter is a small joke not too many people get. It's just a sort of absurd humour. You can give her points if she gets it and laughs)
She: I am in
You: Cool! But first we gotta meet up for a drink this week , I gotta make sure you're cool hahaha.
She: Yes! (Or whatever)
You: let's find a day, what days are u free?
*you arrange the date*
You: Cool, let's keep texting somewhere else, what're the texting apps you use the most? See u there
The line has worked really well
First, It screens out all the girls who're on Tinder just for validation from the girls who're serious about going on dates.
Second, it sets the right frame from the very beginning.
Third, you can even automate the line hahaha there're even apps for that
Some high-interest girls might need more time to go out on a date, in these cases a week of proper texting will suffice.
Mid-interest girls will say 'they don't know when they're free' or similar bullshit.
I haven't had much luck with mid-interest girls so far.
Lately however, I've been trying a new approach with these girls, which basically consists in moving the conversation somewhere else and, for as long as the iron is warm enough (and thus they still reply), start to "qualify" them (a Bait-Reward dynamic), a concept from mystery's method.
Can't say anything about its efficacy to get dates out of these group of girls yet, I'll eventually see how useful it is, but I have the sensation it raises their interest.
We will see.
At first, when I moved here, I could barely get any dates from Tinder or other dating apps.
Indeed, in this section there're posts of mine from october complaining about how much it sucks and looking for answers haha
By testing and testing, I finally found what worked and now I can say I am satisfied with my results (with the amount of 1st dates I can get, not so satisfied with my 1st-to-2nd ratio yet though haha).
One feels happy when the problems to face are different each time, as it is a signal of progression.
I hope my next post is about "HELP! I am regularly dating too many girls, how can I kindly turn some of them down ? "
Hahaha
