One of my sticking points was flaking. I got flaked a lot because of quick direct day game; most of the girls had a destination and I had but a few moments to number close them. I got a lot of numbers that I couldn’t get a date with because I didn’t have time to date them or they didn’t answer.
I recently used the techniques learned in No Flakes to pursue those numbers after a month of phone freeze with the following results: 10 out of 25 numbers answered to my text messages, some of which didn’t answer but remembered them when I talked on messenger. I was able to get 2 dates via SMS with 2 out of those 10 contacts + 3 others are hot but I don’t have time for them. I also got 2 more dates by messaging with 2 of those 25 girls that didn’t answer (both of which remembered my sms). Until now the results are 16% dating, 40% answering. This works for me since I dated the 2 flaky HB9s from my phone.
My future rule will be: move numbers I can’t get a date with to a group called: CALL_NEXT_WEEK, then move to CALL_IN_TWO_WEEKS then move into NO_FLAKES.
