Back when I was dating, I'd say 90% of the numbers I got resulted in dates. Ask for their number, text them the next or same day and ask em out shortly after. Then, continue texting them til the date.
The only times they didn't work out were with girls who I invited to come out golfing with me. They didn't work, but the only reason I did that was because I was leaving that city in a week.
As an adult I have never struck out getting an initial date.
The thing is, it's not a numbers game. It's not a game at all. It's getting to know people, and when you discover someone you think won't turn you down, asking them out.

Exactly right. When you talk to women, it's natural to gauge compatibility as you're talking. But don't talk to them just to hit on them or with the purpose of trying to land a date.
Just try to get to learn more about her and you'll get a better sense of whether there is interest on either side. If you ask selectively, your success rate will be high (but the n won't be, which is OK).

That's an astonishing rate. Did you ever ask out women who you were not 100% sure they were into you?

I don't really think about it like that. I don't care if a girl is into me or not. I talk to everyone, guys and girls wherever I am. If I enjoy a conversation I have, I invite her out. Some want to go out with you, others don't.
The worst thing you can do is think about whether or not someone likes you. If you like them, you ask them.
I just reread my post and I'm not happy with how I said what I said so I'm going to amend it.

So you're saying that 9/10 numbers you got from women you were interested in ended up being a date?
That seems like an astonishingly high number. Did you not get a decent number of women who had boyfriends but still gave you their number (but did not come out)?

I think that applies both for making friends and getting girls
Still I would be curious to know how many girls you would have to talk to on average before one of them would agree to go out on a date with you
