Well I am by no means a natural, but I will give you my thoughts none the less. I have only ever tried a direct approach once on my last night out (see my recent field report 'first time trying direct') and I am currently on a 100% success rate. I intend to go out this weekend and use it some more, although I fully anticipate that percentage to drop as time goes on!


In response to some of the points you made:

-It takes lots of practice.
Not in my case, I just got to the stage of the night where I didn't give a fuck. I did not give BL, tonality, expressions, pauses and so on a single thought. No fundamental stages.

-It doesn't work in clubs.
I was in a club at the time. I have not tried it in day game or anywhere else.

-She will get suspicious.
In my opinion this is more of a problem with indirect openers. The idea of direct game is to remove suspicion and just lay your cards on the table. She knows why you are talking to her from the off set.

-She will more likely flake.
This is a bit of a defeatist attitude. In my sole experience I got a close the same night and have seen her since. Hopefully some more experienced guys can comment on how flaky direct game is on the broader scale.


Personally I intend to use direct a lot more from now on as I struggle with indirect to build attraction and escalate kino, this came so much easier having gone direct. Keep field testing and find what works for you.
