I'm truly struggling to find a consensus on this

Lots of people tell me that showing intent and being direct on a girl at night will never work unless she is very physically attracted to you. They say you need to apply more of a mystery method model.Open aloof. Make her attracted through DHV stories, palm reading etc etc and get her to chase YOU, and when (and only when) she starts to show that she's attracted, you can show your attraction back. They say going 'direct' will only get you girls who are below you physically

Other people tell me that you should always be direct/man to woman and make you intent very clear. Flirting from the open. Try to Get physical early on. Tell her she's cute etc. Get sexual. Be honest. Be vulnerable. No games.

Nothing I try tends to actually 'work' (I tend to flip between both 'models') but I really wish I had a clearer idea of the most effective/efficient model to use, bearing in mind i'm probably about a 4.5 or so physically.

My problem with mystery is that i'm so bad at remembering the DHV stories and the 'lines' and the order that everything needs to go in etc that I'd basically need to bring a notepad out with me and refer to it as i'm gaming the girl! Basically not smart enough for it, lol

My 'goal' in case this matters is to get laid lots with hot girls. Don't care about having a girlfriend or whatever
