While I might be able to salvage this, I made mistakes that probably cost me a date. First off, I would like to say that I can't really follow the PWF strategy to a tee because I am currently at home with my parents at 25, and we have a dog and Ring security cameras that would make bringing any girl here uncomfortable if they're away. Secondly, I'm a virgin, so that puts unnecessary pressures on me. I'm on the apps to change that, but I've been meeting more relationship-type women. I am fine with that as that's kind of what I prefer, but I feel like I set myself up for failure when I do. Finally, I feel the need to set up coffee dates because I've always been under the impression that going out for drinks implies you want to hookup right after. I also have never sat at a bar or been to a club. Again, I don't mind that but I also don't mind going slower and not rushing things. Then again, I might be in the minority here. I am open-minded and am no longer as rigid as I was in years past. My style has improved somewhat over the last year, I've been going to the gym, and my bio on the apps (Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Facebook Dating, CMB) has been improved. But my pictures need work. I think the pictures not only repel girls, but make the ones who do match with me flake because I don't look like Drake or show that much charisma in them. They aren't bad, but I'm not standing out with them and they could be better. Without further ado, I'd like to attach the conversation. I wonder if I can salvage this. My initial thought is to do drinks during the week after work, but as I said, I've never been to a bar before and I'm not planning on any kind of hookup because my place is too far away and is essentially a prison.
