She comes up to me dolled up and still turns me down

Hey all! Have been building my business lately and trying to not get too into pickup until I have money coming in, but this is driving me nuts. After over 50 approaches I can't get a single date.... This particular report is about a 19yo Latina who I've seen at my gym for months and haven't really approached until a few weeks ago when I ran into her in the parking lot. I took advantage of finally not being seen by the entire gym and chatted with her and asked her out. She gave me a maybe and I was cocky with "Maybe? how about we turn that to a yes." She gave me her number and barely responded to text. Fast forward a couple weeks of not catching her at the gym, I ran into her last week and she was very warm and bubbly. I asked her to hangout and got turned down again. She also doesn't even respond to texts now (I think she gave me a "secret" number that isn't always shown on her phone, as she switched numbers during the original ask out).

Jump to yesterday and her mom was kind of hovering around me, even though I hadn't interacted with either of them, then today, the girl comes across the gym to come up to me, wearing a far nicer outfit than usual, hair done nicely, and a little extra make-up. I tease her about coming over just for me (which is true, she walked back across the gym after), asked her how she's doing, complimented her outfit, and teased her about wearing it for me. She still had plenty of laughs and bubbliness. I later see her on a machine that to me is inferior to a similar one, so I tell her playfully, and she is like "ahhh, it's so FAAAR though..." and I tease her about being in a gym. She ends up going over to the other one and using it for like half my workout lol. I pass by the machine and ping her about if it's better, to which she has her usual big smile and agrees, I respond with a warm "Cool" and go onto another section of the gym.


At the end of my workout, I'm walking past the field area, which I was pretty sure she had moved to and she was right at the edge stretching, so I just sat down by her and chatted with her. I ask about work, life, etc. and given all that happened before, I asked her about hanging out. She complains about having no time (taking 4 college classes and works 5 days a week, so not lying) and I come back with joking about "am I too heavy for you" (I'd like to believe the context made more sense than it sounds here lol), and she goes on about needing to write an essay. I should've probably just offered to come help her with it (I'm very good at editing and brainstorming), but I just asked her about it and continued the conversation. We part ways and I just went ahead and texted her "Need help with the essay?" as a hail mary. Hasn't even read it yet.

I have no clue what's going on, nearly every person I talk to, besides girls I'm into, shovels compliments on me about my face, my physique, my personality, etc., and then I can't get a single date... I tend to talk to several other patrons and workers for long stretches of time, so I'm not just some horndog in the gym. I'm not going to say I did any of this perfectly, but it felt like she was slapping me in the face with signals and then backed away. I didn't see her interact with anyone else. Is it just a Latina wanting to feel me glide through her barriers? I do wonder if she has me eyed as a boyfriend, but is too busy to want to add me to her life. Obviously that's not an ideal position and I've angled for more casual to start, but here we are.

I wouldn't worry too much. 50 approaches is not that much. Now if you did 100 approaches and still had no phone number that might be a different story. How many phone numbers did you get fro your 50 approaches?

There were about 50 approaches January/February and a handful throughout the year. Think it's around 70 total. Want to say 20 phone numbers and still 0 dates. Had the "closest" thing this past week, but the lady's ex-husband blew things up by not taking her kids as planned and her babysitter was booked already, she has since disappeared. It feels nutty that it's this hard to grab a coffee lol.

Numbers are probably the way out, but it feels like being way out in relatively conservative suburbs with mostly parents/kids makes for a terrible environment to make things happen. Grinding my butt off to fix that part of things.

70 approaches and no dates.. That would grind me down as well. My health doesn't allow me to be active in field, but your situation makes me realise being in good shape isn't always enough, you also need fertile ground for approaching.

All the best out there! Sounds like you are working on your goals :)

You start getting a weird disconnect between talking to girls and sex when it doesn't lead there for so long. Just grinding through it, though. Hope your situation gets better!

I'd be insanely surprised if things stay this way once I have money and move out (again). That includes moving to somewhere else.

Maybe a bit of an attainability issue? Reading how your interaction with her went, you seemed to tease her quite a bit, and many girls don't take it that well, specially if they already think you're kinda "higher" than her (as far as sexual market value goes, like your fundies and stuff). Also her mom being there and stuff, she might be a bit fearful for her reputation or what her mom think of her if she goes out with you...

But yeah, been struggling with that quite a bit as well, girls show all signs of being attracted and then will autoreject hard or not even let me make any moves, it's just a bit frustrating sometimes

Right, I don't want to just default to "I'm too good" haha, but I'm miles ahead of where I was during my last gaming stint and the difference in results is insane. Was up to like a 50% number to date ratio on 100+ numbers, to the current 0 lol. I do think attainability is the main issue and lack of money situation seems to nuke chances with girls that are more confident and attractive who aren't blown out by my other fundamentals and value.

I know watchu mean lol, I'm sometimes like is my ego too good for me to be thinking girls just think I'm too hot for them? But if it makes sense, it does.

Yeah, money stuff is tough, tought sometimes is more of a mindset issue, like you're not capitilizing on chances for knowing you won't be able to take the girl on a date or close, than actually just girls not going for stuff because you're broke (I don't like having girls pay for stuff for me, but I'll deff invite them to cheap ass dates or try to fuck them on a dark alley or something lol)
