I find it hard to smoothly verbalise my intent when I open indirect.

If I open in a way that i'm almost playing a caricature of a flirty, sexual guy then it's easy, but the problem is that this style limits me to both a certain 'type' of a girl, and to those who are instantly somewhat into my particular look

So when indirect, talking, teasing etc, you wait until you feel she's somewhat attracted, and then do you just say ''you're hot by the way'' or do you have better ways of doing it (showing intent, making it sexual)
