I'm on day 9 of a no-fap streak and this morning the eye-fucking I was getting from women on the street in Leipzig was phenomenal. Up until now, women have always looked away - and often quite waspishly at that, screwing up their bitchfaces and flicking their head sharply to the side - whenever I've made direct eye contact with them, with only the occasional exception here and there that was receptive to my visual IOI. But today was like I had become a different person: Not only in terms of the volume of women of all ages giving me sustained eye-contact, but girls blushing, biting their lips the more I looked into their eyes, the playing with their hair, women doing double-takes, the full monty. Not only this, but even when I was looking towards the pavement and would glance up, there would be women trying to glance into my eyes repeatedly. I know what I'm writing here sounds bat shit crazy, because I would hardly have believed it myself, had it not been followed with the following approaches that I made on the back of some of it. As for my age, I'm 42, although I look a few years younger if I'm clean shaven.
Anyway, I'll get straight to those approaches: When I was walking up the main drag into the marketplace of Leipzig, I caught this smokeshow - a genuine 8 by objective standards - coming towards me. I looked at her and noticed how she was looking directly into my eyes and then started to suppress a smile as she did so. Now, this girl reminded me of a pornstar that I've jacked off to many times before - mid-20s, brunette with hair tied up in a bun, ample arse in a tight white jeans and wearing goofy wide-rimmed ironic glasses - right up my street, looks-wise. I hesitate for a second before turning around and following her into the drugstore which I've just passed and she's already gone into. I head straight up to her midway in the store and she is stationary perusing the lipsticks in the cosmetics section. I go right up beside her and say the first thing which comes into my head, "You don't need any of that gear, you're hot enough as you are", to which she immediately turns around and starts bantering with me with a smile on her face. It's clear that she's happy I've approached and that she knows what the deal is, given the eye contact that we've both exchanged about 2 minutes previously on the street. Although my game wasn't terrible, it wasn't particularly tight, either and I ended up losing frame and stumbling over one or two sentences, which I think caused this broad to lose some respect for me. But it was clear that she wanted to be approached by me, even if I didn't handle the follow-through part of the interaction well enough by holding a sufficiently firm frame. After three minutes or so of bantering and finding out what she does in the city, she picks the lippy she wants and goes on her way.
The next interaction came much later on in the day. I spotted a cute blonde, a nerdy-looking 7 in a second hand store and headed straight in. When I walked past her, she cast me a glance which was encouraging. I meandered a little at the book section just behind her and I noticed that she cast another couple of glances as I did so, so I thought to myself, this looks like it might be game on again. Anyway, she comes up next to me as I'm looking at some glass trinkets and I turn around to look at her. She flashes me a very cautious smile and I then open her by making a comment on the trinkets. We quickly get into conversation and start finding out about what we're both doing here in Leipzig. All the while, she's moved closer to me, is beginning to blush when the more I ask about her and is clearly relishing the encounter. She eventually motions to move away, so I don't waste any more time and ask her out for a coffee. This is where it gets interesting: She hesitates before saying yes, then after a few seconds mentions that she's got a boyfriend. But it was clear that - at the very least - she was seriously tempted to. Being an idiot, I didn't press for the date, but simply joked that I wouldn't tell her boyfriend about us meeting up. But the insane thing about the encounter was how up for it she looked - her eyes were sparkling, she was blushing, playing with her hair during the interaction and you could cut the sexual tension with a knife between us.
Up to now, I've been running purely indirect game by making random situational comments to various girls in bookstores, drugstores, et.c. but haven't really been generating anywhere near as much attraction as occurred today with the two broads I've described above, an effect which probably is the result of the no-fap streak now kicking in. I've also been on a long - i.e. 3 year - dry spell, which is the reason why I've taken up daygame again but am seriously considering going much more direct in my interactions with student-age girls, starting tomorrow, since my failure up to now is that I've approached a very limited number of women, mostly via social circle game.
So my question is this: Given what happened with the first hot girl, i.e. clear IOI on the street followed by very receptive response when I confronted her in the drugstore with a direct opener which made my intentions clear from the start, should I also attempt this again with other girls of her age that give me a similar on-the-street IOI? I ask because nearly every pick-up guru advises against direct game, especially for beginners. My feeling, however, is that the more direct you are with German women - especially the younger ones - the more receptive they are, since German men seem terrified to even make eye-contact with them on the street, let alone approach them and it seems that this leaves them quite receptive to a ballsy guy who's prepared to put his money where his mouth is.
