How I ran 100+ first dates around a full time job (same setup I get clients to use now):
1. First dates (especially for relationship oriented girls) go on office days. You're already dressed to impress, so you can drop by the bar next to your place on your way back
2. Monday: a girl who's fairly into you, or a date with a girl already in the rotation. The worst day of the week becomes the one you look forward to
3. Thursday: the girl who seems least interested. For me it was an office day anyway, & I knew Friday & Saturday already had high interest girls lined up
4. Weekends: high interest girls. Neither of you is up early, so the night can run
5. Stack multiple dates on weekends. You can do 2 to 3 on a Saturday. The higher interest one goes last
/
It only works if it fits your life & it's fun. Build the week around what you'd actually look forward to
A full time job doesn't stop you dating. You just can't waste a good night on the wrong girl
Asked her out & got 2 days of silence?
I've got a double text for every way she goes quiet.
Book a free call, because the right one turns that silence into a date.

“DON’T DOUBLE TEXT.”
Fuck that.
I've sent the SAME double text hundreds of times & it KEEPS working
/
I asked her out for Friday. Then got 2 days of nothing from her
Easy to take that as a no & start reading her story views like tea leaves. Yeah dw… I've been there
/
Nowadays, I almost forget she didn’t even reply back.
But I remembered I had that next Friday free and so…
I followed up with her the same way I'd follow up with a friend who hadn't replied
/
"Imagine you swiped right on your future husband but forgot to reply to his message"
It does three things:
-assumes she's into me
-playfully calls her out
-gives her an easy way back in, without making it a big deal
/
She replied that night. Look at the length of it
Way more explaining than I needed.
She's qualifying herself to me, & I didn't even ask
/
The mistakes I see all the time (& made plenty myself):
-not following up at all
-sending something needy like “?” or “You there?”
-calling her out like she owes you an explanation (yikes bro)
/
Bro, you two have never met.
All either of you has to go on off is vibes.
Your job is to get her back on the VIBE TRAIN
She owes you nothing.
You owe her nothing.
So follow up like it's nothing
If she flaked, you probably texted her out of it
Here's every text from her yes to her sat by the door waiting for me ↓
/
Pic 1, booking it:
Keep offering days till one sticks. We went back & forth for a week. Most guys read that as "not keen" & give up. She's the one asking "next week?"
Pic 2, letting her own the plan:
She suggested the bar. Then I went to Manchester & forgot to reply for a day & a half
At midnight she's the one chasing me: "Can u still do drinks Thursday"
A plan she picked is a plan she'll chase
Pic 3, the gap:
A few messages, nothing heavy. The night before, one flirty line: "Picked a cute outfit for tomorrow?"
Keeps it warm without turning it into a chat
Pic 4, on the day:
One message mid afternoon: "Still good for tonight?"
Running late? Say it early & give an exact time. "10 to 8" lets her relax. "Bit late" leaves her guessing
/
Notice how boring that is? No crazy lines. No 3 days of banter that goes nowhere
That's Straight Line Texting in practice. Every message moves it closer to meeting up. The flirting is there to get you to the bar
Boring & repeatable is why it works
/
What gets you flaked on:
-going quiet for 4 days, then "still on for tonight?"
-texting her 40 times a day like you're already together
-a 3 paragraph confirmation that reads like an Airbnb listing
Every extra text between her yes & the bar is another chance for her to change her mind
Save the deep chats for the bar
A lot of guys would rather be the funniest guy in her DMs than the guy she's actually meeting
Got roasted under this one for how I text. Fair enough. I'm not trying to show you how to be clever over text
/
Every text I send is built for one outcome, & it's very specific
The outcome isn't does she reply "haha". It isn't does she sext. It's one thing: do I meet her in person on a romantic date?
That could be a bar, my place or hers. What counts is that we're meeting with romantic intent, as a date
If a message doesn't move us closer to that, it isn't doing its job
/
When I built my system, I designed it around three things, in this order
First, the outcome: does this message get us closer to meeting? Second, efficiency: once something works, how do I get there in fewer messages? Third, reliability: does it work on the next girl too, or did I just get lucky with this one?
That system is how I got to 100+ first dates
I also built it so other guys can use it. You don't need to be funny. You don't need to come up with a clever line on the spot. You use the same lines I use, in the same order, & the chat keeps moving towards the date
Copy paste doesn't mean robotic though. With clients, we take my lines & build their own versions, so it sounds like them. My humour is pretty dry. If yours isn't, your lines won't be either
So when I'm actually texting, I'm not sat there thinking. I just follow the system. Most of the time I'm copy pasting lines, or I know what to say to keep it moving towards the date
That's why it can look boring from the outside
/
That doesn't mean lines don't matter. My best opener is a strong line, & so are my follow ups when she goes quiet. There's real thought in those
But a lot of the time I just open with "hey trouble". It's nowhere near my strongest line, & that's the point. You don't need a clever opener to get a reply when everything else on your profile is dialled in. She's already interested before you've typed a word
The chat in the post I'm quoting opens with exactly that
Wit is a tool I use when it helps get the date. The date is the job
/
I see the same thing with clients. A lot of them come in writing every message like it's poetry or stand up comedy
What usually gets them dates is shorter & simpler than they expect
I've had clients go from nothing to 3 to 5 dates a week doing exactly that
/
Scroll through the text game accounts on here. Funny lines, long back & forths, "look, I made this girl laugh", "look, I rage baited this girl"
Some of it's for the ego. Some guys are just trolling. That's fine, if that's the outcome you're after. Mine is a lot more specific
Now ask how many of them show the full sequence. From the match on the app, to her agreeing to meet, to her literally saying she's outside
I've seen that from maybe one or two accounts
/
Once we're in person, the texting's done & the outcome changes. Then it's about sleeping with her or getting a second date
The rule stays the same though. Every step has one job
/
A screenshot of her laughing & a screenshot of her waiting for you are two very different things. You can decide which one you want

"I don't really drink" kills more dates than an actual no
Most guys hear it & either drop the plan or start a debate about how one glass won't hurt
/
I swapped the drink in one message & went straight back to the invite
Nobody cares what's in the cup. You're asking for an hour of her time
/
Swaps that keep the date alive:
-doesn't drink → coffee, tea, a walk with a hot chocolate
-early start → one drink at 6, home by 8
-not ready for an evening → weekend coffee
-"I'm so busy" → 45 minutes near her work
Same date, different glass
Most guys think their first date went fine. Her last 3 did too.
Book a free call, because a good first date should lead to a second without you leaving it to luck.

BAD first date questions:
-so what do you do?
-where are you from?
-any siblings?
-what are you looking for on here?
She's answered all 4 on her last 3 dates
The ones I actually ask:
-what am I going to find out about you in an hour that's going to convince me you're a bad idea?
-if you were me, would you date you?
-tell me something that would surprise me about you
-"I hope you're not one of those girls who…" (technically a tease, she'll still answer it)
Every one of these gets her talking about herself in a way her last 3 dates didn't
Facts kill the conversation
