Hi guys, I've lurked here for a year off and on and made a little progress so far.

I'm a 20 yo college student and I've tried a decent amount of "night" game at parties and can get a make out 9/10 times I go out but never get past that. Tried tinder and get 0-1 match/day. Seems like it's either daygame or keep my vcard forever.

I'm nervous about trying this though, and have a few questions:

-My school is fairly large with ~20k undergraduates and a few thousand grad students too (in USA). That said, in 2 years of school I have never seen someone cold approach a girl in daytime anywhere, despite frequently walking around campus. It seems that nobody really does it here. I'm concerned I'd gain a reputation if I started regularly doing daygame. Does anyone have experience with this as a student and is it a "safe" thing to try regularly (many times per week)? Did you get a reputation? Any concerns to keep in mind?

-I've looked at direct vs indirect openers and I feel like if I was indirect and then later tried to get her number I'd end up being awkward/uncomfortable. Would opening everyone with something like "you're so cute had to come say hi" be ok? Is there a reason to use indirect at all? I feel like direct would be much easier.

-Best way to open/progress the interaction when they are walking to a destination? (most people are walking to some place here)

-I don't have time to always do "insta dates," how can I prevent flakes when I can't do an insta date?

Any other advice in this area would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
