Kaelos,
What if you didn't close her on first date (she rejected the isolation) and she doesn't text you anything immediately after.
Do you text her that same night, "I had a good night

" and then wait 2-3 days to set up the next date?
Or do you not text anything after the date and just wait the 2-3 days to set up the next date?
I usually just don't text anything, wait a few days, and then attempt to set up the second date. It's generally not the best sign when a girl sends you nothing after the date (because it usually means she wasn't thrilled by it), but it's also the case that some girls are just shy OR they are disciplined and know how to play the game well, so they want you to be the one to text first after the date.
Bboy,
Just because usually, her plans (fictional or not) are usually something important like "I have to study because I have an exam tomorrow". Persisting past such objections is very difficult. But then again...I've still never actually had a second date with a girl I didn't close on the first (regardless of which model I use...I've tried both!). So maybe my mistake is in something else entirely haha.
Haha, you need to learn to be a bit more arrogant/selfish here! You're under the mindset of "her time is more valuable than my time because she's more valuable" rather than "my time is more valuable than her time because
I'm more valuable."
When I schedule a date with a girl, it's under the impression that I'm giving her the opportunity to sleep with me, and anything else that she has planned that night is less important than the time I'm committing to her. Regardless of what her excuse is, I
always push forward assuming that she realizes what a sexy, awesome guy I am, and that the opportunity to go home with me may never happen to her again. Think about it from her potential perspective:
Do I sleep with this man who's just as sexy as Brad Pitt and possibly experience the best sex of my life? Or do I study a few more hours to maybe get a "B" instead of a "C" on this exam? (NOTE: Probably more than half of the reasons you'll hear from her are mostly excuses that she had pre-planned before the date anyway, so I always assume that there's only
some truth to her reasoning; also, think about what a "bad boy" would do here? Does he care about her exams more than getting her into bed?)
Is amount of time spent on the date a factor? Cause I could imagine there being a "high note" 10 minutes in. But I'd guess that's probably not a good time to make an exit haha.
Well, generally a high "note" is more of a period for me. So, you'll just notice that the past 5-10 minutes or so has been really smooth between you two -- you're both laughing and flirting and really enjoying each other's company.
This doesn't
usually happen until at least an hour into the date, although it can happen sooner or later than that depending on the girl and the circumstances. I always say that 90 minutes into the date is a good time to be looking to take her home (or make your exit if you're running date compression). Any longer than that and you risk missing the "high note" window; any shorter than that -- unless you're experienced -- and you risk trying to pull her too early before she's really felt the full comfort and attraction of your vibe.
Also, by leaving on a high note instead of moving the interaction forward, does that not run the risk of missing an EW or sending her into auto-reject?
Well, taking her home on a high note is actually
hitting that escalation window! That's the epitome of a good example of
not missing an escalation window.
If you're referring to leaving the date (instead of inviting her home), then you already knew you weren't going to take any further escalation windows at that point, and the idea is to leave her thinking about you as this amazing man that she (hopefully) gets to see again.
SteveUno,
Out of the blue tonight, she texted me saying she definitely wants to hang out again this week.
Mental investment in full effect! She was worried that she hadn't heard from you because she really liked you, so she decided it would be best to contact you before she "loses" you to another girl.
You say in that podcast (towards the end) that if a girl texts you, not to wait too long to text because her mood might change. Now that's in the case where you two are texting back and forth, right? And that's not the case her? She just texted me back but I should probably wait a day to reclaim my position as the one in control?
I don't remember exactly what part of the podcast you're referring to, but generally you want to "reward" good behavior (her texting you out of the blue to initiate) as best as you can. In this case, her emotions are obviously warm for you and she went out of her way to text you first, which is
very risky for a girl -- she puts a lot of her reputation on the line every time she does something to chase you. So you want to reward that by not taking too long to respond.
I usually don't reply to a new text from a girl
right away, but I'd probably respond within a few hours of receiving a text like that. =)
