Day Game: Transitioning into Conversation

[Bboy100]

Ok, so one way to go about Day Game is obviously the direct opener. But personally, I prefer indirect. Some very easy openers might be:

Hi
Hey, how do I get to x place?
What's good here [In any type of shop]
Wow...long line.
Where would you recommend I grab a bite to eat [a street stop opener]
Hey, how's your day going?

...and so on.

Basically, they're innocent very low pressure questions or comments. The issue I find with them is that I feel like after she answers it, the conversation should be over. Like...if I ask her "Hey, how do I get to the Humanities building?" And she answers me, I don't see how I can transition into "Ok, cool...what are you up to today?". Because at this point, she knows that I have an ulterior motive for talking to her, AND I haven't made clear what it is. This is literally the recipe for creepiness. The only other option (other than direct opening) is lines like the first and last one. Something like "hi" or "how's your day going?". But these two also face the exact same problem- it leaves the girl wondering what the purpose of this conversation is.

For those of you who have experience with day game...any advice on how to use low pressure openers like these and smoothly transition it into a real conversation without coming off as creepy?

Bboy low-key is fine and has a lot of advantages really, but what you're describing is more than low-key, it's hiding the banana. If you hide the banana and succeed it's probably in spite of your opener rather than because of it. It's good to open with a joking or teasing remark, or some playful antic like stealing her hat or her seat or sth, but if you are stopping girls in the street I think the only reasonable option is going direct.

Thanks! This was a good reminder. I definitely sometimes accidently focus a little too much on getting good reactions from ALL girls. Was a nice read to get me out of that head space.

Yeah, that makes sense. Reason I even posted this was cause I sometimes have a difficult time coming up with something witty to say on the spot. But yeah, I guess the solution to that is to just go direct.

You're over thinking it man, low key does work, just like direct works.

Like...if I ask her "Hey, how do I get to the Humanities building?" And she answers me, I don't see how I can transition into "Ok, cool...what are you up to today?"

Just say it! "Thank you. What are you up to today?" Girls that dig your look and are sexually available will be all over it. As soon as they're talking about themselves they forget all about what you originally asked them.

A girl that doesn't like your look or is busy with something, will be slightly annoyed, but who cares?

My go-to opener in grocery stores while girls are looking at stuff: "Is that stuff any good?" That's it! From then on I'm asking what they're up to, what there name is, if they are single, you get the idea. Super low key and works like a charm.
