He's all about direct game. Using openers like "I think you're beautiful and I wanted to get to know you". I'm not too sure about that. Without DHV that kind of stuff will not work.
I don't know about that. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work as long as you are being sincere and demonstrate that you're confident and not expecting a certain answer.
I like to say, "Don't take this the wrong way, but...you have fantastic eyes/hair/skin/whatever." This is cool because it sets her up to hear something bad and then ends with something good. Also, "I'm not trying to to pick you up or anything, but I think you're beautiful."
There are ways that this stuff can work.
Oh, and btw, there is a great e-book by Stephane Hemon called "heart-centered pick-up." It's free and very good. If you sign up for his [AMAZING!] newsletter, he will send you a link for the e-book, as well as some other great tools.
