Any reason you’re doing direct?
Direct can work, but indirect is more consistent.
Direct is polarizing.
Girls who are uninterested, you know right away.
Girls on the fence, will be forced to make a decision about you right away, which means the more solid your fundamentals and game is, the more will be interested. However you’ll have girls who would be interested turning you down because of how direct it is.
Then you’ll sometimes have girls who hook immediately and it’s basically a done deal.
It’s definitely a numbers game, meaning expect to do tons of approaches with rejection after rejection if you only do direct.
it’s not very useful, only in certain situations where you don’t have the time or it doesn’t make sense to do indirect.

When I started doing indirect, I started getting the number of almost every girl I approached. This was after years of doing direct and getting rejected 9/10 times.
With direct the cat is out of the bag immediately, she knows you’re interested and is forced to decide.
With indirect, she’s not sure if you’re interested, and this is a bigger deal than you might expect. A woman with a mystery is like a cat with a toy. Indirect means you can actually practice some game.
Once you get over the fear, direct is so easy it’s a cop out. No creativity needed. I think that’s why it doesn’t work great. It only demonstrates confidence, and because the pressure is put on her immediately, she makes a decision about her interest based on what she immediately sees, your vibe and delivery of the approach, and the fact that you were bold.
With indirect, you must learn to be spontaneous and creative, but once you learn that, you will see better results than direct.
