Wouldn't this make her feel that confusion you mentioned?
No. You need to know three things about seduction, courtship, or the game. One, it's sexual. Two, it's emotional. Three, it's motivational. Here is the scientific journal for this explanation.

Direct approaches in pick up address the sexual side. Indirect approaches address the emotional side. A combination of both direct and indirect approaches address the motivational side.
Men are more motivated by sex. Women are more motivated by love. Diamonds, Rolex watches, BMWs, and Lamborghinis are wanted by many and sell for a reason. You'll have to work hard to get them. Not everyone can get them.
If you have played the game Diablo, you'll get excited killing orcs the first few times. But after killing a dozen or so, the game becomes boring. The most memorable part of the game is the final and hardest battle; not the easy kills.
Scientifically, it is the women who hunt men while men hunt animals for food, here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11146304. This is genetic due to tens of thousands of years of evolution. Sure, someone will argue here the social aspect of being alpha but man as the TOP social animal only evolved fast enough in the last few thousand years. This is largely through memes rather than genes. Memes made humans superior as social creatures through the invention of the alphabet and writing, and then the printing press.
At any rate, when you did this:

...I became sick of the ambiguity, so I asked her to be mine.
You did the chasing. It's a woman's job, genetically speaking, to hunt men for love. On the other hand, it is the man's job, genetically speaking, to be baited by women through sex.
Quote:
Do you think that's a good approach, or do you have a better idea?
No. You have to be sexual and direct to perform your genetic role as a man. On the other hand, you need to play hard to get and indirect to make the girl perform her duties, genetically speaking, as a woman.
Men usually fail in the "game" because we chase the emotions first rather than the sex.
