Say you've got a buddy who gets numbers like nobody's business.
He goes out on Friday, and gets ten numbers.
You go out, and you get two.
And one is for a Chinese takeout place.
Who's got better game, you or your friend? That depends.
I'm going to assume that you're after a decent relationship with a woman that is emotionally, intellectually, and sexually satisfying.
That's pretty much what most guys want.
So, which will get you there quicker, twenty numbers or two numbers? It all depends.
Read on.
One method that many have found profound success with is the high qualification model.
Most guys will do anything to get a number.
They'll use some nifty phone switching tricks, or come up with some believable excuse to exchange numbers.
But remember, you're looking for a high quality relationship, not a bunch of stats.
Think about those twenty numbers.
You're going to spend a lot of time calling each one, getting a "date," going on a few dates with a few of those girls, only to find out that you aren't right for each other.
Maybe she was bored, and wanted to pass the time.
Maybe she just wanted a few free meals.
Bottom line is without some strong qualifying, you are going to waste a lot of time, and a lot of money.
In order to avoid this, you're going to need to qualify hard, early and often.
How? Here's how: Before you even ask for the number, she has to have demonstrated that she's into you.
Kino is the best way.
Touch her a few times, and see if she touches you back.
If she does, you're in.
When you ask for the number, be up front.
Be honest.
Be brave.
Look her in the eye and say something like this: "I like you.
I like talking to you.
I'd like to see you again.
If you want to give me your number, I'll call you and we can get together.
No big deal if you don't want to.
" Sounds scary as hell, I know.
But guess what? The only girls that will give you her number after some successful kino, and that bold number close (which includes an easy out for her) will be girls that are genuinely into you, and not looking for free meals or free entertainment.
Also, pay close attention to her eyes and facial expression after you ask for the number.
If her eyes and face become brighter, you're in.
One of these numbers is worth fifty of the other kind.
