cant move on...can't escalate...

Hi everyone.
The name of the pickup game is creating a one on one situation if I'm not mistaken. Normally their interest starts to wane on a second date, let alone physical desire. Looks like they all expect me to perform non stop to keep them entertained which leads to predictable exhaustion from the one way game. Exhaustion from having to be funny, unpredictable, mildly cynical, spellbinding and not appearing (G@d forbid) needy! They almost invariably suggest that we stay friends which is for all I know is a death sentence to a relationship.
Do you want me to go into further detail, quote dialogues or provide a video of my end-stage helplessness? Regrettably, i have none...

With out any dialect, it just sounds like you are failing to build rapport so when the opening stuff is over there is nothing left. This is when you allow your personalities mingle and where a lasting attraction is gained!

Maybe with some details we/ I could give some more thought and guidance.

Sounds like you are having similar problems to another guy in a similar thread. I suggest reading from here down (Day Game. Blanked out.). I have already given a lot of pointers along the lines of what you are talking about.
