Notes on numbers flaking:
To get more solid numbers, you need to get numbers from girls who WANT to see you again or who are interested. Otherwise, you'll be forcing numbers on girls who aren't interested and who are far more likely to flake via texts.
Sometimes gauging whether a girl is interested or not can be challenging if she is not giving many signs, but one way to tell if the girl is interested is to see if she has "hooked" or has reached a "hook point" during conversation.
Ways you can tell a girl has reached a hook point:
1. She's planted and not going anywhere, even when there are pauses in the interaction.
2. She is asking you questions to keep the conversation going and to find out more about you—she's trying to build a connection with you.
3. Any IOIs like deep eye contact, crossing her legs, playing with her hair, initiating touch, etc. (see *Street Hustle*, pg. 120).
Knowing this, it might be a good idea to track on an Excel sheet which girls have hooked and which girls did not hook during your daygame sessions. This way, you can understand which numbers are more or less likely to flake via texting.
Also, it may be good practice to persist if the girl looks like she wants to leave and attempt the number close anyway. However, you need to be aware that the number will likely flake, so you should expect this.
Additionally, when going for the number close, don't suggest coffee—suggest drinks (beer/wine, etc.). If she agrees to coffee and you instead do a date invite via text for beer/wine, then she might be more resistant to the drink invite since she initially agreed to coffee. It just makes things easier on you, and it's what you truly want to do anyway.
When you go for the number close, just be upfront and honest so she knows what you want and it's agreed upon: "Well, I gotta go, and you gotta go, but I think you're pretty and I'd like to invite you out for drinks sometime. Is this something you might be interested in?" If she says yes, then take her number. If she says no, then you can say, "OK. Well, I'll send you a text, and if you change your mind, we can meet up. If not, no worries."
