Having Lots of Dates in Short Amounts of Time
Amounts of Time

So what do you do then, when she's not seeing you as a lover, and
you can't move fast?
Or do you play the game the way she wants you to play it... but with
your own twist?
I'm going to introduce you to the concept of date compression in
today's article - making dates count for more than a single date, and
having a full boyfriend-candidacy dating process in a short amount
of time, rather than the protracted courtship these frequently turn
out to be.
In the end, you'll be able to take girls who view you as a boyfriend
candidate as lovers and as girlfriends much more quickly and
reliably than the men who stretch things out - and often lose the
girls they like after plowing time and money into trying to get them.
A girl who hasn't dated much before is much easier to have fast
intimacy with, assuming you stay out of boyfriend-land.
I used to find it confusing and insulting then when I'd run into
women giving me the stiff arm when trying to move fast - they were
invariably the more experienced women, who had hard rules about
how fast (or not) they could go with men, and I'd catch myself
thinking, "Wait - what? Here is this girl with a lot more experience,
which means more emotional baggage, less love and affection,
higher infidelity risks and drama and problems in a possible
relationship... and she wants me to work harder for her than I would
for a girl without all that? Are you kidding me?"
But as you come to understand her more and why she's doing what
she's doing, it becomes clearer and clearer she isn't doing it to
control or manipulate you, exactly - she's doing it out of fear.
When a girl has little experience with men, she trusts that men
who'll go to bed with her will stick around if that's what she wants
too. No doubt she's heard tales of women sleeping with men and
those men then disappearing... but come on, this is HER! And she's
a pretty good judge of character anyway.
There was the guy she REALLY liked... whom she thought was
moving too fast... but she went to bed with him anyway; it was
amazing... and then she never heard back from him again.
There was that guy she didn't even like all that much, but thought
might make an okay boyfriend or companion... he wanted sex, she
wasn't sure, but decided that if this jumpstarted the relationship,
well, okay... only for that to end up being the last time she saw him.
Now, your intentions with a girl may well be to stick around once
you've slept with her and never leave her. She does not know that,
and there is no truly reliable way you can communicate this to
her. Women have men who chase them hard for a long time but
who still disappear after they finally have sex. Just as men get
frustrated and upset about girls flaking on them and girls putting
them into the friend zone, women get frustrated and upset about
men they thought would stick around sleeping with them and then
not sticking around.
"If you're just a throwaway lover and I don't care about EVER seeing
you again, maybe we'll sleep together the first night," goes her
thinking about those guys she's into enough to sleep with but not
into enough to really want to keep around in a larger capacity than
that.
"If you're a man I want a relationship out of, we are NOT sleeping
together too fast... I'm not going to let you think this is easy to get,
devalue it, and disappear," goes her thinking with everyone else.
Not all women are like this. The most confident women - even with
a great deal of experience - are often still not this way. The most
confident women will go with the flow and follow their instincts, and
trust that any man who doesn't stick around didn't stick around not
because she went too fast, but because they weren't a good fit.
And indeed, I know plenty of people who've slept together the first
night they met or on the first date, and went on to have
relationships. Some of my relationships have started this way.
Likewise, I know plenty of men will do the 3 or 5 dates it takes to
sleep with a girl, then never see her again afterward regardless of
whatever time was put in before.
But generally, stretching things out is both a reasonably reliable
screening tool (screening out men who aren't willing to commit to
putting in time and investment prior to sex) and a reasonably
reliable way of a girl boosting her scarcity and upping her value
(a boyfriend candidate must invest more to get sex, therefore sex
with her is perceived by him as more valuable).
Instead of getting mad about her rules, or fighting them, the easiest
thing, very frequently, is just going along with them.
And one of the thing most women's rules don't account for is time.
Most people will tend to have logical rules that they don't
completely believe in emotionally - especially if their logic tells them
one thing, but their emotions tell them another.
A girl may be aching to be with you, but she's logically decided that
sex is off the table with any man she wants as a boyfriend until Date
#3, and right now it's only Date #1 and she wants you as a boyfriend
- so, it's not going to happen (just yet).
That's an example of her emotions telling her one thing ("Mate with
this man now!") and her logic telling her another ("Slow your horses,
temptress... we want this man as a partner, not a one-time
performer!").
When logic and emotions are in conflict, the easiest way around
these two are fulfilling the logical requirements in a quick /
simple / unconventional way to get you to meeting the
emotional needs instead. She wants her emotional needs met.
She just wants you to meet her logical needs first.
For many guys though, that final bullet doesn't happen on the third
date - instead, it might not happen until the fourth or the fifth date.
This whole thing with three or four dates can take a month or
more... kind of a ridiculous period of time for getting together with
somebody you really like.
Saturday: you meet a really cute girl you like and trade phone
numbers
Sunday: you text her asking her what her schedule is like to
meet up for food
Sunday: you plan a date either that day or within the next
couple of days to meet
Tuesday: you text her that there's something fun you want to
do - when is she free?
Friday: you text her you had a great time, and want to cook her
some dinner - when's she free for this?
Saturday: she comes over to your place for dinner. You cook
food, then take her to bed
That's date compression. All the things that take most men
weeks or months, compressed into the space of a single week.
You won't always be able to do this in one week - you might need a
week-and-a-half or, at most, two weeks - but unless she's not very
interested in you, or is the busiest woman on Earth, you can
probably get these all scheduled up in a short amount of time.
Minimizes the odds that life intervenes - she gets slammed with
work and can't meet you for a while, she meets a ravishing new
beau who sweeps her off her feet and into his bed, something
happens that depresses her and makes her not want to do any
dating for a while
There are plenty of men she meets who want to meet her right away
and monopolize her time, but are weird, awkward, or creepy about
it. That's a big no-no for fast dating... for obvious reasons.
[next day]
You: Hope the rest of your Saturday was great, Anna. About our
meal: when's good for you to grab a bite this week? Later this
week... earlier this week?
You: Cool... how about tomorrow after work? We can kick the
week off right! There's a great little café near Union St. station on
the green line we can do (I could actually do tonight too, but I'm
assuming you have to prepare yourself mentally first ;)
Her: Actually, tonight works fine for me! Union St. is perfect -
what time?
Her: Deal!
You: Awesome. See you tonight!
One example might be meeting up for food, and going for a short
walk after the meal.
Another that I always liked for these kinds of dates was food at one
restaurant, dessert at another. So, say, go to a diner and eat there,
then afterwards take off and go to Coldstone or Häagen-Dazs or a
gelato place - anywhere with good desserts and nice ambiance.
Then call it a night.
For a second date, you'll do something a bit more fun - Dave &
Buster's, Hooter's, a bite or a drink at a cool lounge next to the
beach followed by a stroll along the beach, swimming, hiking, laying
out under the stars, laser tag, paintball, dancing, roller skating, etc.
Try to pick two things that go fairly well together here - have a drink
then go walk, pick a spot, and stare at the stars, for instance. Make
this date a romantic date - you want her feeling more and more
excited, and wondering if you're going to invite her home that night,
and thinking to herself, "Oh God, if he invites me home, it's only the
second date, but I *so* want to say yes! What should I do? Yes or
no??"
Then don't invite her home. End the date romantically... and send
her on her way.
For the third date, invite her to yours to come cook dinner - you can
go to a food store to buy the ingredients and a liquor store to buy
the spirits if you like first, too.
If you'd rather do four dates, make the fourth date a smaller date
than the second, where you only do one (1) thing - say, dinner at a
theme restaurant, or go see a movie and eat popcorn. Whatever
this date is, make SURE you sit next to each other. The feel
you're going for here is, "We're very close, and I'm not trying to be
impressive, because we're basically more or less together at this
point already." Then have her come cook food at yours for the fourth
date.
Pretty darn well. This is the kind of date sequence that most women
dream about having... romantic, intriguing, and you in control every
minute of it. There's never a moment where you're trying to make
something happen and she's fending it off... in fact, there are plenty
of moments where she's hoping something might happen, maybe,
and you tease her with it, then walk away... making her want it
more.
Again, better to move fast and be a lover and take girls to bed on
the first date than to move more cautiously and be a boyfriend and
take them to bed on Date #s 3 or 4, but... if you've messed up a bit
and she now sees you as a potential boyfriend, and you still like her
enough that you're okay with putting in a little more time to get her -
this one will do it for you.
If you have a girl you like, and she likes YOU so much that she wants
you as a boyfriend... instead of plodding along with the dating
process, compress it.
Then you're giving her both what she logically wants - a certain
number of dates prior to sex - and what she emotionally wants -
passion, excitement, whirlwinds, and adventure.
