Busy or Not Busy?
Use Time Bridging (called this in PUA lingo and apply the 3 strike rule or date within 2 weeks rule.
What I learned from experience is: 1) many women are attention whores 2) are toying with many guys as their twisted entertainment 3) their life is a mess and don't know how to schedule time or organize it.
Contrary to popular belief and outright lying, most Japanese women are NOT BUSY. They are just busy for you, the potential new guy. They simply do NOT want to make time for you, as they don't have enough interest or can't overcome their fears in starting a new relationship.
Life is too short for bullshit females (or people in general), playing games in e-mail or LINE.
So, I learned to filter who is REAL and who are obvious bullshiters pretty quickly.
1) Time Bridge (PUA lingo)
It's a simple concept where you clarify with the woman that you have just met, that you will meet again soon or agree on a date. You also start building excitement about that FUTURE meeting, location, or activity.
You do this BEFORE exchanging phone/e-mail/LINE.
I'm usually unspecific about the exact date, but get agreement on a range of days and that meeting later is possible. Flake females will start with the busy crap almost immediately. So guess what? I never ask them for their number or LINE ID.
First level of flakes are cut.
Litmus Test for Exiting Conversations
I suggeat EJECTING from any conversation with women that start flaking and shooting excessive excuses about future meetings. This can save you time in clubs, bars, and coffee shops.
NOT necessary to spend hours talking and buying drinks with women in clubs/bars as some guys do. A good 15 to 20 minute conversation is more than long enough for her to accept the possibility to see you again and exchange contacts, UNLESS you are trying to have sex with her that SAME night in which you met her. If you plan to meet her some OTHER day, a 15 to 20 minute conversation is fine.
2) After exchanging e-mail/LINE, I then lock down a specific date.
Example- Let's meet Tuesday or Friday, or can you suggest a possible day?
This is a RANGE of OPTIONS, that LEGIT women will choose from. She either agrees on the given days OR suggests a day.
Now at this point, the 2nd level of flakes and game players expose themselves, with "busy" and excuses. Often flakes and game players, especially Japanese ones, will try to ignore that you asked her to SUGGEST days.
So, you play along a bit to loosen things up, and then give them a new range of options the week after next (2 week limit).
Can you suggest some possible days the week after next (or between x and y dates)? So far, Friday or Sunday is possible, and maybe another day.
At this point, if you laid down a range of options and a woman has told you she is busy for the next 2 weeks, DONE. If you asked 3x to meet and she refused or gave a crappy excuse, DONE. CUT her off and move on.
3) It's a NUMBERS game. Talk to OTHER women.
Don't get obsessed chasing after 1 woman that turns down offers or acts flaky. If she isn't investing in you, don't invest in her.
4) Don't be the guy getting played for a fool as an orbiter (PUA lingo) of a female or a toy with NO benefits.
A lot guys don't realize that many women are interacting with 10, 20, and more guys. Dating websites, Facebook, Twitter, LINE, e-mail, etc... Lots of women will try to hide or play off what they are doing, because they pretend to be passive and "blame" guys for approaching or initializing contact.
Many women are swimming in options of men and secret meetings, and it's time for more men to wise up to the game.
