I think that simply (off the topic) if you look at direct/overt vs. indirect/covert approach/conversation/interaction... call it whatever you want is structured in ratio risk vs. reward.
If you state your intent, without "embellishing" it, you made a high risk decission, but you'll instantly know where you're at did you get your reward/punishment.
Same goes, for stating your intent in directly, you didn't risked much, so you can get the whole variety of comebacks, which can/can't do you any good, but you can quickly fix things up.
In other words, simply said
DIRECT Instant reward/punishment, high risk, low chance of fixing it.
INDIRECT Covert reward/punishment, low risk, high chance of fixing it.
and also if direct works it doesn't take long to get with her, but it has more chance of failing. HOWEVER, although indirect has less chance of failing, and if the girl isn't attracted you have probably wasted more time and effort than if you went directly
