I will only be direct if: (a) I know she will say yes, or (b) I was desperate to get it out because there's someone else or there's no more time or its taking too bloody long.
If not under the above circumstances, I won't be direct. There's no point.. getting is the girl is by timing it right, not by showing your cards outright. If you do all the right things, she will get the idea that you're interested anyway, so there's no harm in that. She will respond if she is interested too.
Also, don't not be direct when the situation calls for it.. otherwise you could be labelled as someone who's flirtatious but not interested, ball-less or even simply clueless.
When I was in college, I met this girl and went out with her every few weeks. One time we went out, we spent 2 hours by the jetty chatting, and when I sent her back, I said "I'll call you again some other time" and she got pissed off and said that if that was all it was, then don't bother calling again. I was taken aback and after asking what that was about, she ended up my girlfriend for several years. *shrug*
