Post subject:  what to do post-direct opener

Hey everyone

Lately I have been focusing a lot on approaching directly. When I say "Hey I saw you from over there and thought you were pretty cute, so I wanted to say hi.", they always smile and respond happily, but then there is an awkward silence. Where do I take the conversation from here given that I didn't open with an opinion opener or anything?

The natural thing always seems to ask their name, what they are doing there, etc. but these sorts of inquiries appear to be heavily frowned upon. I feel like the direct approach depends on you coming off as confident and high value, and that if I follow the opener with "So.... what's your name?" or similar questions, it telegraphs low value. Is this a good time to use a gambit? I'm still pretty new to direct approach.

It's a short post but a big problem! Thanks for any advice!

Well the answer to that question is pretty simple. Just have a conversation with her. Talk about whatever's on your mind, or, if you must, NOW's the time for those opinion openers.

"Hey, I think you're really cute and just wanted to come over and talk to you for a bit."

*stack forward, ex: "So let me ask you this... as a gift, would you prefer a turtle or a hamster?"

There isn't technically anything wrong with a direct approach, as long as you don't come off threatening.

If you aren't approaching an upper HB I've found that the shock and surprise of being directly approached can lead to an easy # close.

Maybe switch up the order...ask for a female opinion on something, then compliment her on her smile.

You don't want to be setting any alarms off

Example: "I"ve been watching you for the last half hour while you shopped for groceries and think you have very nice skin"
