Wannabe_Mystery, that is the primary difference between direct and Indirect Game.
In indirect game, you don't want them to know that you are attracted to them until you have already built some attraction and setup some status for yourself, in their eyes.
Direct Game, works differently. By being very confident and direct, it works for two reasons:
1. You catch them off guard because no one is ever that direct with them.
2. It shows incredible confidence.
Direct game takes less verbal work, but a heck of a lot more physical and fashion related work. You will likely bomb out more often with Direct game, but it has the advantage of letting you know almost instantly, if you are going to be able to close the girl or not.
