How To #Close

I leave two messages: One is the standard: "Hey HB, this is Harmless, I'm going out with my friends to such-and-such-cool bar tonight, let me know if you want to tag along."

If this doesn't work, next time I use "Hey HB, this is Rein. I just had the most amazing idea... you have to hear this!"

This has about a 80% success rate in getting girls to call back. They will of course ask what the idea was. Either make up something or say, "I was sitting in the tub taking a bath, and then I realized that my body made the water in the tub rise. I was so excited, I ran down the street naked screaming "Eureka!", or (my favorite) say "I figured out how I could get you to call me back. It totally worked too... Hey, you won't believe what happened to me yesterday... [story]"

Honestly, I don't usually bother going to all this trouble. Usually I call a couple times and then forget about her, but I'm training myself to be more persistent.

PHONE GAME STRUCTURE:

Once you get her on the phone, you have two options:

Go for a MEET, or try to regame her on the phone.

SETTING UP A MEET

PROs: Short call, she's less likely to cut you off

CONs: No chance to reinitiate state, regame her, etc. Less likely to work the longer you wait since the first meet. Less successful in general than regaming

I use the well-tested Tag Along Meet Close(tm): "I'm going out to such and such bar with my friends. You should tag along."

This works even better if you know where she likes to hang out (same place you met her on the same day is a good idea) and simply suggest that she meet you there as if you were already going yourself.

More on this below (SETTING UP THE MEET)
REGAMING ON THE PHONE

PROs: You can get her back in state, re-attract her, or build comfort, whichever is necessary.

CONs: Longer phone call, she is more likely to cut you off, it's easier to stall.

PHONE GAME TACTICS AND TECHNIQUE:

I follow a much-shortened version of MM: Attract, Rapport, Meet Close.

Whether I'm regaming or just setting up a meet, I always throw in a DHV, buying temp. builder, or call-back humor FIRST.

Tell a quick story that *just* happened, run some roleplaying, or use any good anchors that were created during your sarge. (Anchors aren't just SS bullshit. Callback humor is an anchor, anything that reenforces or amplifies her state is an anchor, etc.)

ALWAYS, ALWAYS let the girl know that you have options. Even if you have to lie. Don't TELL the girl "I'm fucking a lot of girls." You have to SUBCOMMUNICATE it. Think SECRET SOCIETY shit.

"My friend is supposed to come over tonight. *SHE* wants to watch a movie or something. But if she can't make it, I'll probably be going downtown."

NEVER bust her on not answering the phone, not calling you back, being drunk when you met her, or anything else that will cause her to become defensive. (You can break this rule, but it's less confusing just to follow it.)

Stay away from early game routines (David Bowie, Who Lies More, Blonde Hair, etc) and stick to attraction routines, buying temp routines and roleplaying that are EASY to visualize (Powerpuff, Attack Kitten, Eternal Love roleplaying, Las Vegas Marriage, BUBBLE WRAP, etc)

If the conversation gets on dating and relationships (Which it will, because you will LEAD it there), throw in:

"When I'm talking to girls and they ask me if I have a girlfriend, they seem really shocked when I say that I'm singe."

She will PICK UP on the subcommunication: She KNOWS that when a girl asks a guy if he has a GF, that is an *IOI*. She understands that these girls are attracted to you. this creates implied SOCIAL PROOF.

Once she's back in state and attracted again, once she gets a little buying temp, (and especially when she begins to ask rapport questions), it's time to start comfort building. Fractionate from C&F to SUPERFICIAL communication (light rapport). The fractionate QUICKLY from SUPERFICIAL to DEEP communication (deep rapport).
