This is going to be a short quick post. I never try and beat around the bush, and slowly work my way up to a date or getting a number. When I see a girl who I think is beautiful, I tell them that I think they are beautiful. It shows confidence. I've never EVER had a girl respond negatively to me when I have said this. It wastes so much time to work your way up to flirting. If you think a girl is hot, why wait to start using seduction techniques. Come out swinging.
