Calls & Texts  How far to set up dates in advance? Too many girls, too little time

In the past few weeks I've begun using Chase's barebones texting style and the results have been a life changer:

E.g. Icebreaker text later in the day after getting her number -> Wait a few days -> Text to set up date

No trying to build comfort over text, no maintenance texting, etc. Just the Law of Least Effort

I'm currently struggling though, with how long to wait between texts due to pure LOGISTICS...

As Ricardus mentions in an article, you don't want to let too much TIME pass (he suggests texting the very next day with cold approaches if she seems half keen), but at the same time you don't want to be setting up dates too FAR in advance. The problem is, like any of us who have this down decently, we meet more girls a week than there are days in the week...

For instance, in the past two days (Monday + Tuesday) I've daygame direct approached 18 girls. Out of all this only 5 of them seem eager for a date. The thing is though, on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I already have dates planned with other girls I've meet in past weeks. Therefore for the majority of girls I've met this week, the EARLIEST we could set up a date is sometime next week.

As Ricardus notes unless she's Japanese or a workaholic, planning a week ahead with most girls just doesn't vibe. But then my only other option is to wait until the weekend to send the second text, which is 5-6 days after I met her, and possibly long enough for her to either go into auto-rejection or just lose interest.

SUMMARY:

Does waiting 5-6 days between your icebreaker text and date text really do that much harm? If so, even if your week is already booked solid, should you still text her the next day and try and schedule something up for the following week?

Cheers,

twentyone,

The better idea here is to double-book your dates. This has a two- (three-?) fold effect.

First of all, it lets you schedule more dates in one week since you are booking two girls on a single night. This will prevent attraction from expiring since you can schedule dates shortly after you meet a girl and strike while the iron is still hot. Secondly, it gives you a fail-safe plan in case one girl decides to flake on you -- you have another girl scheduled for the same night, so you're more likely to end up having a date that night. Finally, it allows you to cancel on girls if you end up still having both girls not flake, which actually can potentially boost attraction since (attractive) girls aren't used to having guys flake on them for dates very often. With boosted attraction levels from a given girl, you can usually re-schedule a date with her the following week.

So anyway, double-booking dates is actually a very effective strategy for dealing with the problem of "so many girls; so little time." ;)
