Flake Management Not Working?

So I've been trying to get better with girls seriously for about a solid year, year and a half now. My dance floor/club game is decent but my day game/bar game could definitely use some work. My progress is slow but steady, I'm at that level where I can get phone numbers easily if I approach but they'll flake and then never respond. Here's a sample scenario:

I open the girl, comment on her dress/flirt with her, get investment, get her interests and learn more about her, and then grab her number after 5-10 minutes and leave.

I'll text them and they respond warmly, then we set up a meet and they agree every time. After that they'll flake with a text, usually the day before or 6+ hours before the outing. I say no problem. I text them in a couple days or so saying that we should get that tea, coffee, etc that we mentioned and then they'll just not respond.

Is this a common occurrence? What do you think I'm doing wrong?

Here's a sample texting conversation, paraphrased from my phone:

Me: Hey L, it's Draton, save my number.
L: Will do :) going to sleep cause I have to be up in 6 hours, night!
Me: Ok, have a good night.

2 days later

Me: Hey L, I'll be in town for the weekend. Let me know if you want to hang out.
L: Okieee maybe Sunday would be good for me we can grab coffee or food.
Me: Yeah, I'll be free sunday as well. I could do 2 pm or 7 pm. Do those times work for you?
L: Yeahh either one works for me!
L: Actually 7 would be better for me because we have (some college orientation thing)
Me: Ok, 7 on sunday it is. Let's check out (local tea spot here, close to her dorms), unless you have any other ideas?
L: Okay sounds like a plan :) I don't really know anywhere cool yet

Day Of

L: I actually have RA room meetings tonight so I can't do anything tonight :(( sorry!
Me: No worries, it happens. Some other time then. :p

3 days later

Me: Hey L, hope your weekend was good! Let's grab that tea! I'll be free saturday starting at 2 and sunday @ 6, do those times work for you?


And then no response. Occasionally flake management will work, but most of the times it doesn't. Am I doing it wrong?

Draton,

Check out this article: How To Text Girls: 20 More Tips And Techniques

You're texts are structurally correct, but they're a just a tad unexciting. Adding exclamation marks and smiley faces go a long way.

This is the way I'd reword the texts:

You: Hey L, its Draton, save my number!
Her: Will do:) going to sleep cause I have to be up in 6 hours, night!

2 days later

You: Hey L! I'll be passing through town for the weekend. Let me know if you want to grab that coffee :)
Her: Okieee maybe Sunday would be good for me :)
You: Right on! I'll be free Sunday as well. Either 2 or 7 pm work for you?
Her: Yeah either one works for me!
Her: Actually 7 would be better for me because.....
Me: Yeah, sounds great, L. :) Shall we say (local tea spot)?
Her: Okay sounds like a plan :)

One of the first things you learn when asking for compliance is to be enthusiastic and oversell things. It makes the other person feel like following you is going to be the most fun and enjoyable route they can take.

Let me know how that works for you :)
