Hey Ryan,
How do you feel about Direct daygame openers in a small college (university) environment with about 300 girls in each grade?
It feels kind of weird since i would see them around all the time and have classes with them etc.
Thanks
This is a really good question, something that a lot of the hardcore direct guys get asked.
Me personally, I don't give a shit about what people think of me any more. I think I do my best to "own" the persona of the honest, direct, flirty guy. What tends to happen if you do that properly, is that girls allow you to get away with more because that who you are. The flirty guy that is sexual from day 1, can get away with slapping his female friends asses and talking dirty shit with them, and they'll just giggle and go "oh Ryan, stop it he he he."
However, if you suddenly start doing that out of nowhere, it will seem incongruent with who you are, and you will be able to get away with a lot less. Some of my older friends (male, for the most part) think that some of the stuff I do now is "creepy," because they are filtering my behaviour through the lens of their past experience of me being more shy and reserved. But the people I'm more recent friends with, assume that's who I am and are fine with it.
So, if you've gone a few years on a small campus where most people kinda know each other, then suddenly being very direct could backfire. If you feel you can mould yourself into that over an extended period of time, along with changing your appearance such as dress, haircut, facial hair, glasses, etc. then do so.
That being said, if you see a girl you don't already know, there is no harm in expressing your romantic interest from the beginning, and taking the interaction from there. If she's not interested, then that's fine. When you see her again, just treat her the same way you'd treat any girl you've spoken to before - be friendly and nice, and maybe you guys can be friends!
