My body languge is much better, and I'm more aware, but I'm just not having any success, yet. Feels like I'm starting over, which I kinda am.

The other day, I approached a staffer at my gym. I asked about her name, and proceeded to game her, talking a little about my family, as she'd talk a little about hers. That's establishing too much comfort too early, isn't it? I was using good body languge, I'd say, but there wasn't enough tension, was there?

It sounds like you already have answered your questions.

Are you saying you went direct with her and started talking about family? For me that isn't exactly direct, i picture direct being you are telling her you are attracted to her and qualifying etc. Just because you approach directly doesn't make it a direct opener in my eyes, its about what you say. Body language should be the same in both cases.

Point taken; I guess I haven't been too direct, even if I'm becoming more so.

Yesterday, I approached her alone in her office. The situation was, I'd I'd earlier been talking to someone else near the desk, and she had been giving me a proximity alert. Taking that as a vote of confidence, I approached her just before I had to catch my bus, so I had a natural time restraint. <Complimenting how good she looked, ala direct. Then, I started talking about myself, whilst asking questions about her, whilst teasing, which worked pretty well. Said something that caused a big positive reaction, geting her to playfuly joke about throwing me out, but in the process omy reply, I made another positive comment about her looks, which led her to take more defensive body language. Shaken by her reaction, I decided to eject before stuck my foot in my mouth, anymore. I said I had to go, and shook hands. SHe had a strong grip, too; could have been an IOI, but I'm not sure.

Let's replay the situation: Were I going direct, how should I have played it? I did a direct opener, but I didn't do enough qualification, did I? Shoulda been open, qualify, while teasing intermittently, yes?

I guess I really don't know how to do a direct sarge; any good examples you could show?
