Ok I heard a couple direct openers. The point is to (Quote from MB) "Direct openers usually force a woman to decide whether she is interested in getting to know you."

An example/s would be:

"You’re the woman here I most want to meet."

One I made up with some pointers from some naturals I know:

"Excuse me." (kino then step back out of personal space) "I couldnt miss this chance, and Im not trying to pick you up or hit on you but.... your really beautiful."

The first one is good. As far as the one I made up Im not sure.

And this is the first time ive heard indirect-direct openers. I say just one or the other. I would think if you came in indirect then went direct by later saying "I just only wanted to talk to you not buy merchandise" then it makes her wonder why you didnt just come out and say it.... which I would think is a DLV.

sorry i'm not familiar with the proper wordings yet.. but in my opinion.. i would do something indirect.. what i would do is get her isolated.. so it would be just the two of you.. asking her for help would be fine... but if she ask you then it would be great... ask her some questions.. to make sure that she is focusing on you.. like "do you have something like this on my size?" then try to get her involved.. ask her for her opinion.. but starting off.. like "you think i can get laid with this shirt.." if she shows IOI.. then you're in.. hopefully it's slow at the store so you could get a decent conversation and further show higher value... i think it will at least get a number close.. maybe... im a noob..

are you interesting?

err... first of all, if you read my OP, it's not a clothing store.

anyway, case closed, number closed. all in like 5 mins... thanks Solomon II!!!
