I think “number game” is one of the hardest things for a lot of guys. They get a phone number and they really don’t know how to handle right. I think it’s important to know that just because you have the number, it doesn’t mean that you’re “in”. You’d like to think that, but getting a number is only one tiny thing someone can feel obligated to give. Inevitably getting the date is the goal and that can be far more challenging.
Don’t Call Too Soon
This comes down to basic value and what you have going on in your life. If you meet a woman in a bar and in the morning give her a call, you’re just shooting yourself in the foot. You have to give it sometime to show that you have things going on in your life. If you call too soon, it’s just a red flag that you really have nothing going on and you could fit her right in.
Don’t Be Obsessive
This is important… when you call, you could get an answering machine. Just so you know, sometimes women have things to do too. She might not call back for a while because she’s doing other things. Don’t call over and over again leaving messages.
Personally, I’ll call once and I won’t leave a message. I’ll try again later and leave a message if I don’t catch her. At this point I will wait a few days and make one last call. If nothing materializes than I just throw the number in the garbage.
A real great way to get past the obsessive like problems is to have many women with many numbers. You can always just call up someone else.
Wait A Few Days to Call
This is a pretty standard rule that I first learned about in the cult classic movie “Swingers”. It’s basically an industry standard for phone game.
