I acutally like it when a new guy uses a weak direct opener such as "I like your bracelet." A lot of girls wont know that you're showing interest yet, but it's good practice for the guy to inch closer to becoming more direct.
For an experienced guy, this type of opener is weak, but doable if you know what to say afterwords.
Do you really want a girl who's mindset is so negative?
I would prefer a girl who would laugh or make fun of me when I say something like this. That will tell me that she's a fun person to be around.
If she has the mindset of (Ewww, who is this weird guy tryinbg to hit on me) even though ALL you did was tell her she looked cute, then it tells you a lot about her personality.
She might be a very judging person or maybe she's stuck up?
Or it COULD mean that she's having a bad day.
Anyways, what I do when I come across a girl like this is leave. For one, I'm looking to have fun and a girl like this doesn't sound like she'd have much fun with me.
If you insist on gaming such a girl, then it'll require more work, but being direct was still a good thing. If she thinks you're a creeper, then you need to go funny. If she's backing off, stop pushing forward. You need to get her to laugh and be more comfortable around you. A good way is to call her out on if she thinks you're a creeper even before she says anything about you being a creeper.
Ex: "So, you think I'm a creeper. I can see it in your eyes."... "What qualifies as a creeper?"
When doing things like this, make sure you're smiling so she doesn't think you're a REAL creeper.
See, a real creeper would probably be awkward in such a situation. If you are lighthearted, and joke around the whole creeper idea with her, she'll eventually come to realize that you're a cool guy. THEN you start pushing forward again. Start touching her to create sexual tension. Etc, etc.
Then you come across girls who are just bitches. They're gonna think lowly of you whether or not you go direct or indirect. They're not "hard" to game, but I'll just usually move on to the next because I'm not willing to waste that much energy on that type of chick.
It doesn't matter whether or not you're a college kid. As long as you don't look like you're 40, then it really doesn't matter.
If she asks about your major, like I said before, go truthful. Then go funny.
P.S. You CAN laugh a woman into bed. Keep that in mind.
