“In all fighting, the direct method may be used to joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory”

--Sun Tzu

You will need to let your target know early on in your interaction that you seek to seduce her, but you cannot explain to her why she should. The open communication stuff is a trap women set to see if you “get it.” No matter what they say, they do not want to know everything about you. They want to slowly figure it out themselves.

The “direct method” Sun Tzu talks about is asking her out, cold approaching, and so on. “I want to be alone with you in a dark, sexy bar.” That is you joining the battle, if she agrees and actually shows up. This includes being direct about the date venue and the exact time you are available. This part you have to be direct and clear. It is attractive. Girls hate planning and making decisions.

Now for the indirect methods.
